Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a goal-directed evidence-based form of psychotherapy, which utilises components of both cognitive therapy and behaviour therapy. CBT brings into awareness and evaluates thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and behaviors with respect to any given external or internal situation, and evaluates how each of these components are contributing to one’s overall emotional wellbeing. When thoughts and behaviours, in response to an event, become ‘unhelpful’ or maladaptive, the results are usually the onset of adverse mental health. CBT helps individuals to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and adjusts them, through evidence-based data gathering and CBT practices, which in turn improves emotional wellbeing and mental health. CBT is an extensively researched form of therapy and is adaptable to many mental health difficulties and can also be applied to many situations involving thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations and behaviours.

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is a talking therapy that helps to identify and manage existing problems by adapting the faulty thinking patterns behind them. Psychotherapy is a psychosocial intervention, which is used widely and is backed up by empirical research, making it a highly successful form of mental health treatment. Psychotherapy involves proactively working through your emotional experiences, helping you understand them. Psychotherapy is favoured over medication by clinical psychologists, and certainly in conjunction with medication. As is often the case with medication, once stopping, symptoms rebound as internal constructs are unchanged.

Virtual Reality Environment

You can meet with our therapists in a virtual environment. This brings meeting with your therapist in a virtual world, right to the comfort of your living room. Our virtual environments provide a new dimension to therapy being both engaging and therapeutic. Clients often mention that time goes by very quickly in these virtual environment and the virtual world helps them to detach from the stressors of daily life. Combining this with a psychotherapeutic approach, brings a novel approach to therapy. Again, this can be done from your home. Note: we currently only offer this service via Meta Quest.

How do I meet with therapists?

During the pandemic it became difficult for people to meet with their therapists. As a result, mental health greatly declined. This, along with social isolation, lacking a routine, becoming ill, and bereavement, all affect emotional well-being. We started MetaPsych Mental Health Clinic as an online and VR psychotherapy and diagnostic screening assessment service as a way to bypass all of the barriers associated with the pandemic. Since then, we have consolidated our psychological skill sets and expanded our online team. To find out exactly how you may benefit from psychotherapy, use our online booking system to book a free consultation. Our therapist will meet with you online or in VR and will provide you with a confidential and secure place to discuss your concerns and how psychotherapy can help you. You will need a Zoom account. You may be asked some questions regarding your experiences, but the conversation is 100% confidential.
