Understanding the Therapeutic Approaches at Eaton Gate Practice

At Eaton Gate Practice, we offer a wide range of therapeutic approaches tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Our qualified practitioners are trained in various models of therapy, from traditional psychoanalysis to contemporary integrative methods. This page offers an overview of the key therapy types available at our practice, helping you better understand which approach might resonate with you.

We believe that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process. Each client brings a unique set of experiences, emotional needs, and personal goals. Whether you’re seeking help for anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, or a desire for personal development, we can work with you to find the most suitable approach.

The Difference Between Therapy Modalities

Before diving into specific types of therapy, it’s helpful to understand what we mean by different therapy modalities or approaches. These are the broad frameworks or philosophies that guide how a therapist works with a client. They influence the structure of sessions, the nature of the therapist-client relationship, and the kinds of techniques used.

At Eaton Gate Practice, our practitioners may work within a single modality or combine approaches, depending on their training and the needs of the client.

Our Core Therapeutic Approaches

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is a general term for treating emotional and mental health difficulties by talking with a trained therapist. It encompasses a wide range of techniques and approaches, but its primary aim is to help individuals understand themselves better, resolve inner conflicts, and develop healthier ways of relating to others.

Psychoanalysis

Psychoanalysis is one of the oldest forms of therapy, rooted in the work of Sigmund Freud. It is an in-depth and intensive approach, aimed at uncovering unconscious patterns that influence thoughts, behaviours, and relationships.

Existential Therapy

Existential therapy focuses on exploring the deeper questions of life: freedom, responsibility, meaning, mortality, and the human condition. Rather than diagnosing or ‘fixing’ a client, existential therapy invites a reflective dialogue about how to live authentically and make conscious choices.

Integrative Therapy

Integrative therapy combines elements from different schools of psychological thought. It is based on the idea that no single approach holds all the answers, and that different individuals benefit from different combinations of methods.

Psychosexual Therapy

Psychosexual therapy focuses on sexual issues that affect psychological wellbeing, intimacy, and relationships. It can help individuals or couples address concerns such as loss of libido, sexual dysfunction, performance anxiety, or trauma-related challenges.

Couples Therapy and Systemic Family Therapy

Couples Therapy

Couples therapy provides a structured and supportive environment for partners to explore their relationship. This may include communication breakdowns, conflict, infidelity, intimacy difficulties, and more. Therapists help couples improve emotional connection and develop healthier interaction patterns.

Systemic Family Therapy

Systemic family therapy works with the family or group as a whole rather than focusing on a single individual. This approach examines the relational patterns between family members and is helpful for parent-child conflict, intergenerational dynamics, and mental health challenges affecting the family system.

Additional Therapeutic Techniques Offered

Schema Therapy

Schema therapy is a structured form of psychotherapy developed to help people change deeply ingrained patterns or ‘schemas’ that are often formed in childhood. It blends elements of cognitive-behavioural therapy, attachment theory, and psychodynamic principles.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a practical, goal-oriented approach that focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. It is widely used for conditions like anxiety, depression, OCD, and phobias, and provides structured tools for change.

Which Therapy Is Right for You?

Choosing a therapy approach can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. At Eaton Gate Practice, we offer initial consultations where your needs can be discussed, and the most suitable therapeutic path can be recommended.

Our team is here to support your journey toward greater understanding, wellbeing, and emotional freedom.
