THE APPROACH

Understanding how the anxiety cycle keeps going.

When uncertainty appears, the mind may predict danger, search for evidence, overthink, avoid, check or seek reassurance. These responses can bring short-term relief, but they may also reinforce the belief that uncertainty is dangerous and must be controlled. Strategic Psychotherapy focuses on recognising the cycle as it operates now and changing the responses that keep it active.

A focused process for change

Strategic Psychotherapy, Clinical Hypnotherapy and NLP techniques work together to help you recognise the pattern, interrupt familiar automatic responses and practise a more useful way forward. The work is collaborative, practical and tailored to your goals.

A DIFFERENT WAY OF WORKING

Focused, practical and structured around change.

Focused, practical and structured around change.

Some therapy models are intentionally ongoing and exploratory. Adelaide Strategic Therapy is different. Rather than meeting indefinitely to repeatedly discuss the same problem, the work is structured around identifying the patterns maintaining it, interrupting those patterns, practising different responses and consolidating change. The aim is focused work over a defined period — not therapy for the sake of therapy.
