The Cognitive Behaviour Therapy program helps you to identify how your current thoughts and behaviours affect you. CBT recognises that events from the past help shape the way people think and behave. It does not dwell on past events but aims to find solutions on how to change your current thoughts and behaviours, so you can function better in the future.
Sometimes our thoughts and feelings are hard to put into words or words become hard to find. Art and creative processes can be used to explore themes and experiences. Using creative expression as the primary method of communication, new ways of knowing and insights can emerge. These insights can help create change, increase self-awareness and general wellbeing.
This 8-session program is designed to meet the needs of mature aged patients experiencing adjustment difficulties, anxiety and/or depression. The program is based on the principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and other strength-based therapies. It allows patients to review their life, both past and present, in a positive and supportive environment.
Transcranial magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression.
