Emotion focused CBT is based on traditional cognitive-behavioural principles. However, its emphasis is on the way you respond to your emotions and how that might be backfiring on you long term. This type of CBT is designed to skill you up to manage all emotions more effectively empowering YOU to live the life you want.

Emotion focused CBT

Helping you build your Tool Box for Wellbeing.

Motivation & goal setting

At Therapy with Jacqueline, we understand the importance of creating a friendly, warm and supportive environment for our clients. Our approach is based on the idea that the path to positive change requires increasing your readiness and motivation for behaviour change, fostering a belief in your ability to change, and identifying concrete goals for treatment. So together we'll start your Journey to Wellness by helping you use motivational & goals setting tools.

Understanding Emotions

Ever feel overwhelmed by your emotions- as if they come on so suddenly and so intensely that they overpower you? At Therapy with Jacqueline, we will help you to understand your emotions more fully, heightening your awareness of YOUR own patters of responding. We'll work with you to step back and explore your feelings in a warm, compassionate space.

Mindfulness

Do you find yourself getting stuck in your head, thinking and thinking but not getting anywhere? We get it! At Therapy with Jacqueline, using specific techniques we will help you learn how to step back from and notice emotions as they unfold in real time. We will help you learn how to anchor yourself in the here and now instead of getting lost in worries about the future or judgments about the past.

Stinkin' Thinking

Do you know you have thousands of thoughts every day? And those thoughts are affecting the way you feel AND what you do. Do you ever Mind Read or Catastrophise? Well welcome to what I call Thinking Traps, those patterns of thinking that left unchecked, are making your life worse. At Therapy with Jacqueline, I'll help you learn your own individual Thinking Traps and I'll help you figure out how to get out of them.

Behaviour Change

Behaviour change is scary right? And yet we know that it can make a huge difference in your life. At Therapy with Jacqueline I'll help you identify the changes you need to make in your behaviour. Heck I know it can be scary but I'm going to be right alongside you, cheering you on. You're not alone anymore.

Looking to the future

I know it can be hard to imagine the end of your therapy journey coming but that day will arrive. I'll help you recognise your accomplishments and identify ways to maintain treatment gains. I'll help you anticipate future difficulties and encourage you to use treatment techniques to make further progress in achieving short term and long term goals. And maybe you'll finish at this point or maybe you'll want to book a couple of 'top up/check in' sessions 3 or so months down the road. Whatever works for you and lets you feel supported even when therapy comes to an end!
