Cognitive behavioural therapy, often just called CBT, is an evidence-based approach for a wide range of mental health concerns. CBT is the most well researched therapy approach, as it is typically highly structured with exercises and homework assignments. CBT is based on the premise that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours all influence one another. That is, we can change our thought patterns as a means of also changing our feelings and behaviours. 

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, also known as ACT, is a behavioural therapy with a heavy dose of mindfulness. ACT believes that many psychological concerns share the same feature of psychological inflexibility. ACT places importance on clarifying your own values and taking actionable steps to live in line with your personal values to build a rich and meaningful life. 

Narrative Therapy is a method of therapy that separates a person from their problem. It opens up conversations, which enable us to move away from problem stories and discover alternative, preferred stories of self, relationship, and future possibilities. It creates an opportunity for the stories to be rewritten in ways that are more empowering or more facilitative of well-being. Individuals can address their problems and stories based on their own values, rather than those that have been inflicted on them. Giving the individual the ownership to decide and re-live experience can be extremely powerful to their healing journey.

Solution Focused Therapy does not dwell on the details of why or how things came to be, but addresses the here-and-now, concentrating on present-day solutions. This approach identifies and builds on the strengths and capabilities that the individual already has. Solution Focused Therapy follows the thinking that nearly everyone can be motivated to find solutions. By helping people focus on what is working, it theorizes that small, positive changes could produce a ripple effect.The act of identifying strengths, resources, personal qualities, and networks around them is empowering, in and of itself. Additionally, it reinforces the idea that the future is something that we can create and that individuals are not determined by their pasts
