Sonia Hilder Counselling & Psychotherapy
50 Avenue Road, Trowbridge, Wiltshire, BA14 0AQ
The theoretical framework I use to understand my
clients is called integrative, which means that it
draws from a number of different disciplines as
appropriate.
I often work with CAT which is a short, time limited
framework, typically lasting no longer than sixteen
sessions, and which has a definite beginning, middle
and end. This allows for the task to be defined, and
saves you feeling you are embarking on endless
counselling with no end in sight.
I use CBT methods within that, setting tasks and
homework so that the sessions effectively carry on out
of the room. My understanding of human process is
psychodynamic, in that I believe that we often do
things because we are unaware of the way we have
been brought up, but I do not believe that the problem
is 'inside' us - more that it is how we relate to ourselves
and others. This understanding is to be found in CAT
which is a restatement of psychodynamic principles in
cognitive terms.
Latterly I have been using EMDR (Eye Movement
Desensitization and Reprocessing) accredited training
for trauma, abuse and depression. This suggests that
difficult experiences become ‘locked’ in our brain and
that reprocessing in therapy can help us integrate
them into our more healthy self.
