My Therapeutic Approaches
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Feeling overwhelmed by negative thoughts or stuck in unhelpful patterns?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can help you break free. This effective approach focuses on understanding the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. By identifying and challenging negative thinking patterns, CBT empowers you to develop healthier coping strategies.
With CBT, you’ll learn to:
- Recognize and challenge negative thoughts
- Develop practical problem-solving skills
- Build resilience and confidence
CBT is effective for treating a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, and stress.
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
Struggling to manage intense emotions or self-destructive behaviours?
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) can help. This evidence-based approach focuses on teaching skills for managing emotions, improving relationships, and increasing mindfulness.
DBT helps you:
- Understand and accept your emotions
- Develop healthy coping mechanisms for stress
- Improve interpersonal relationships
- Increase mindfulness to live in the present moment
By learning these skills, you can build a life worth living, even in the face of challenges.
Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT)
Feeling trapped by negative thoughts and emotions?
REBT helps you challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and develop healthier ways to cope. This approach focuses on the idea that it’s not events themselves that cause emotional distress, but rather our beliefs about those events.
With REBT, you’ll learn to identify and dispute irrational beliefs, replacing them with more realistic and helpful thoughts. By understanding how your thoughts influence your feelings and Behaviours, you’ll gain the tools to create lasting change and improve your overall well-being.

Ishmeet Kaur answers your questions
- What advice would you give to someone considering therapy for the first time?
Be open to the process, trust your therapist, and remember that healing takes time.
- What is a common misconception about therapy that you’d like to clarify?
One common misconception is that therapy is only for people with severe mental health issues. In reality, therapy can benefit anyone seeking personal growth, coping skills, or support through life’s challenges. It’s a safe space for self-discovery and empowerment.
- How do you handle humour in therapy sessions?
Humour, when used appropriately, can be a powerful tool in therapy, fostering rapport, relieving tension, and promoting insight. I approach humor with sensitivity, considering the client’s comfort level and the therapeutic context, to ensure that it enhances the therapeutic process without detracting from its effectiveness.
- What do you do to create a safe and supportive space for clients in therapy?
I establish clear boundaries, maintain confidentiality, and ensure that clients feel heard, understood, and respected throughout our sessions in non-judgmental ways.
- How do you approach building trust with clients who may be hesitant to open up?
Building trust takes time and patience. I start by validating clients’ feelings and concerns, offering empathy, and demonstrating genuine care and commitment to their well-being. I also emphasise confidentiality and collaborate with clients at their own pace, allowing them to gradually open up at their comfort level.
- What do you do to ensure your own well-being and avoid burnout?
I prioritise self-care by setting boundaries, maintaining a healthy work-life balance, and seeking supervision or support when needed. I engage in activities that recharge me mentally, emotionally, and physically, ensuring that I’m able to show up fully present for my clients.
- What is a recent book or resource you’ve found helpful for your clients (or yourself) and why?
“The Body Keeps the Score” by Bessel van der Kolk has been invaluable for understanding trauma and its impact on mental health. It offers practical insights and techniques for both clients and therapists, fostering a deeper understanding of healing and resilience.
- Which quote do you find yourself often sharing with clients?
“You sow in one season and reap in another, You cannot sow and reap in the same season.” This quote speaks to the importance of patience, perseverance, and trusting in the process of growth and change, which aligns well with the therapeutic journey.
