  5. Holistic Health • Holistic Health (Biopsychosocial) asserts that we have physical, intellectual, social, emotional, vocational and spiritual needs -- the neglect of which reduces the ability of one to withstand the effects of stress. And we live in socio-economic conditions that can enhance or demean our long-term well-being.

  7. Strengths Based • Strengths Based counselling focuses on what is going right in a person’s life. The counsellor and client work together to find past and present successes and use these to address current and future challenges. Its first cousin, Positive Thinking or Learned Optimism, is about learning a positive perspective – focusing on what can go right.

  9. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (ABC Method) could be described as “as I think, so I feel (and do)!” In any given situation you have: • A. Activating Event – the actual event and the client’s immediate interpretations of the event • B. Beliefs about the event – this evaluation can be rational or irrational • C. Consequences – how you feel and what you do or other thoughts

  11. Solution Focused Therapy • Solution Focused Therapy or Where do I want to be?; focuses on what clients want to achieve through therapy rather than on the problem(s) that made them seek help. The approach does not focus on the past, but instead, focuses on the present and future. The client is asked to envision how the future will be different when the problem is no longer present.

  13. Existential Approach • The Existential approach or Why Am I Here; is also known as “Meaning Therapy.” As Viktor Frankyl put it, “He who knows the ‘why’ for his existence, will be able to bear almost any ‘how.’” Therapy is concerned with creating one’s identity and establishing meaningful relationships with others.
