Individual TherapyWhen specific issues or mental health conditions begin to cause distress and interfere with a person's normal activities, it may be time to seek therapy. Distress can manifest in the form of problematic beliefs, feelings, behaviours, and sensations in the body.
Individual therapy—also known as psychotherapy, talk therapy, or counselling—is a collaborative process between therapist and client that aims to facilitate change and improve quality of life. Therapy can help people confront barriers that interfere with emotional and mental well-being, and it can also increase positive feelings such as compassion, self-esteem, love, courage, and peace. Many people find they enjoy the therapeutic journey of becoming more self-aware, and they may pursue ongoing psychotherapy as a means of self-growth and self-actualisation. By offering a range of evidence-based approaches in a warm and non-judgemental manner, Dr. Laoudi can help you identify underlying causes of symptoms and provide specific strategies or techniques for changing unwanted thoughts, behaviours, or emotions. Dr. Laoudi specialises in using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for treating a range of mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, anger, bereavement or fears & phobias, in addition to everyday concerns, such as relationship problems, stress, and other issues. |
Is Psychotherapy an Effective Form of Treatment?Ultimately, the individual’s desire and determination to heal play an essential role in whether psychotherapy is successful. Having the right therapist is also an important component of effective therapy. Research has shown that psychotherapy results in fewer relapses of common conditions such as moderate depression and anxiety, and that the positive effects of good therapy extend well beyond treatment. In fact, many clients report improved conditions long after therapy has ended. In general, psychotherapy is often more effective than psychotropic drugs or medical treatments alone, which may cause harmful side effects. In addition, many therapeutic modalities are evidence-based, meaning they have been subject to research studies and clinical observations, and they have been analysed for effectiveness. |
