CBT involves identifying patterns, testing small behavior changes, and reviewing what helps; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.He also uses motivational interviewing to support people who feel uncertain about change. This approach focuses on exploring ambivalence, clarifying personal goals, and building motivation at a manageable pace. It can be helpful for addictions, lifestyle shifts, and times when change feels daunting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Philip will discuss goals and preferences and recommend whether CBT techniques, motivational interviewing, or a blend fits best. The plan can be adjusted as progress is tracked and new needs appear.
