CBT, PPT & ACT: A Comprehensive Approach

At The Therapists Cairns, we utilise a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Positive Psychology Therapy (PPT), and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) to provide a holistic approach to mental health. These therapies are designed to address a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges, helping individuals lead more fulfilling lives.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhealthy thoughts, attitudes, and behaviours. It can help individuals develop coping strategies that can reduce the impact of mental health issues like anxiety and depression. By learning how to recognise and alter negative thought patterns, you can create healthier responses to life's challenges.

Positive Psychology Therapy (PPT) shifts the focus from what’s wrong to what’s right, encouraging individuals to recognise their strengths and cultivate a more positive outlook on life. By integrating multicultural stories and metaphors, PPT fosters a mindset that can enhance resilience and personal growth.

Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps individuals embrace their thoughts and emotions instead of fighting or avoiding them. ACT can be particularly helpful for conditions like anxiety, depression, and OCD.

By combining mindfulness techniques with self-acceptance, ACT encourages psychological flexibility, empowering you to face challenges with a more open and accepting mindset.

If you're interested in exploring these therapies, contact us on 0481 753 893 to discuss how we can support you.
