CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. Developed by Dr. Aaron Beck in the 1960s, it aims to help individuals identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts, leading to improved emotional well-being. The main value of CBT lies in its structured approach, making it a practical and effective treatment for various mental health issues, including anxiety and depression. Ultimately, CBT empowers individuals to take control of their thoughts and actions, fostering personal growth and resilience.
REBT
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a cognitive-behavioral approach that helps individuals identify challenge irrational beliefs that lead to emotional distress. Its value lies in empowering people to understand the link between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, promoting healthier ways of thinking. The purpose of REBT is to foster emotional well-being by teaching individuals to replace negative beliefs with more rational and constructive ones, ultimately enhancing their overall quality of life.
Nature Therapy
Nature-based therapy is a therapeutic approach that utilizes the natural environment to promote healing and well-being. Its purpose is to enhance mental and emotional health by reconnecting individuals with nature, fostering mindfulness, and reducing stress. The value of this therapy lies in its ability to provide a calming and restorative experience, encouraging personal growth and resilience while improving overall quality of life. Through activities like hiking, gardening, or simply spending time in green spaces, participants can experience profound benefits for their mental health.
Which setting suits me best?
In-Person - Outdoor - Online
1.
In-Person
Psychotherapy
In-Person Therapy is the format most of us are familiar with, this is the one we see on tv and if we have been to therapy before it is most likely this is the format we have been to. I have a room in the Ballyfermot area of Dublin so very accessible from Palmerstown, Clondalkin, Lucan, Walkinstown, /bluebell, Inchicore etc. There is plenty of free parking which is always a plus.
My In-Person sessions are on Tuesday and Friday evenings, generally from 3pm to 8pm.
2.
Outdoor
Psychotherapy
Also known as 'Walk & Talk Therapy' or 'Ecotherapy' Outdoor Therapy is becoming much more popular and people are now choosing this format over the other two. The most common feedback is that having Psychotherapy outdoors in the fresh air normalises the experience a bit more people find it easier to talk and process some life experiences. My location for Outdoor is the Phoenix Park and this offers many different meeting points mainly depending on peoples mode of transport. Some of this work is done walking different routes around the park with some sessions sitting down either in the open or under trees in one of the forest areas.

Online
Psychotherapy
Like other significant changes in 2020 therapy moved into the arena of online very quickly and with plenty of challenges. however, this has become a very familiar way of working for a lot of people and has opened up access to Psychotherapy no matter where you are. Common online work is with people in other countries or people who find it more comfortable with less travel or needing to stay where they are. Less popular now with the reamergence of In-Person but still available for those in need.
