The aim of ACT is to develop psychological flexibility through mindful and acceptance-based strategies. Through discovery of your personal values this therapy helps you take another step forward into what really matters.
Interpersonal therapy can help in four main areas; with complicated grief including loss of role identity, conflict with others and difficulty with social interaction. It is a solution based therapy, working in the here and now while also considering the impacts of the past.
Motivational interviewing is a client centred approach, helping people with achieving behaviour changes. There is a focus on the stage of change a client is in and working collaboratively to move through the stages towards action.
CBT is a talk therapy that is goal focused and usually involves some out of session work for the client. This therapy helps address the ways in which thoughts and thought patterns impact behaviours and feelings. CBT works on how to go about changing thinking for change in the other areas, mainly emotions and behaviours.
Food is essential and impacts us on many levels including physically, socially and emotionally. Understand what healthy eating is for you and developing a positive relationship with food is key. Integrating the knowledge of optimal nutrition with a deep understanding of the therapies that help people to change behaviour is what makes Hope Integrated Health unique.
