CBT or Cognitive Behavioural
Therapy is a therapy that usually lasts for a series of months
that focuses on changing your thought patterns and working with
your environment to bring about improvements in wellbeing.
Counselling ranges from
several sessions to ongoing work for years and focuses on
working through feelings and experiences by a form of
conversation between you and your counsellor.
Hypnotherapy utilises the
power of your subconscious mind over the course of between 1 and
several sessions so that you can remove stubborn habits that
seem to have no logical reason for existing.
Integrative approaches may
mix aspects of all of these approaches in a client-centred way.
As every integrative approach is different it's important to
find out what methods are included in a programme.

Programming is a brief and rapid approach that focuses on using
the power of language to create immediate changes in your
thought patterns.
