Islamic counselling takes many different forms, however, our approach is to incorporate spirituality into the therapeutic relationship, offering information from the Qur’an and sunnah whilst drawing the boundary at telling you what to do. We will explore your family relationships, culture and beliefs. Our training encourages an awareness of Islamic ethics and cultural differences and sometimes we have to separate culture from Islam. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624ba1f55c0d717cdd079644/8bdd8abd-27c9-43ce-a3eb-cb83b8d156de/unsplash-image-vC8wj_Kphak.jpg Services - Person centred Unlike cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), person-centred counselling does not usually involve homework between sessions or an emphasis on techniques. Similarly, unlike psychodynamic counselling, the person-centred approach does not always focus on past events in a client’s life. Person-centred counselling is often about what’s going on in a person’s life now. This is our core modality at Therapy & Me. In this approach, the client is considered the expert on their life and the therapist works to understand their world from their point of view. In doing so they build a relationship and work with them to explore their path toward self development. All whilst encouraging authenticity, self-acceptance and trust. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624ba1f55c0d717cdd079644/1657466827022-IKI5KVQQ3X6E2LAP5NYC/unsplash-image-uGP_6CAD-14.jpg Services - Psychodynamic The main focus of this approach is to look at the unconscious content of the client’s mind. In this dynamic the client is encouraged to explore their past and childhood experiences. Success in this approach is heavily reliant on the relationship between the client and their therapist as trust is crucial to develop open communication and safe exploration. By identifying and resolving past traumas it is felt that inner conflict and tensions can be alleviated and current distresses that are being felt can begin to be worked on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624ba1f55c0d717cdd079644/1657466946749-BHL15E5IZHYUXZD6UDX9/unsplash-image-Ek-HeyrgkqM.jpg Services - Integrative One size doesn’t fit all in therapy, and the integrative approach combines different styles of counselling so that therapy can suit each client’s specific needs at any given time. The integrative approach assumes that each person is unique and that no single approach to therapy can address the physical, social, spiritual, emotional and psychological needs of all people. Life experiences are different for everyone and the integrative approach acknowledges these differences.
