Strength-Based Therapy | NewVista Psychology

Strength-based therapy will help you take control of your life by teaching you how to build up your own self-confidence and resilience so that when things go wrong or if something unexpected happens, you have the strength to handle it.

What is Strength Based Therapy?

The strength-based approach is centred around the idea that the client is the actor or agent of change. This means that clients are capable of making decisions, identifying problems, and finding solutions to those problems. Strength-based therapists believe that past experiences do not necessarily predict future outcomes; instead, they focus on what people can do today to improve their lives.

They encourage clients to set goals and work toward them rather than focusing on what happened in the past or blaming others for negative events in their lives. Strength-based therapists believe that all people have strengths that can be used as a resource during times of stress or difficulty.

How Does Strength Based Therapy Help?

We provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space where you can explore your issues and concerns in a way that feels safe and comfortable. Our counsellors are highly skilled in providing the appropriate level of support and guidance to help you on your journey towards healing and growth.

Anxiety Disorders

Strength based therapy can help you reduce anxiety by building resilience and developing coping strategies that help you view situations from a position of strength.

Career Decisions

It can help you identify your strengths, ambitions and talents to find a suitable career. You will learn to establish realistic goals for yourself and develop the confidence to take chances.

Depression

Strength-based therapy can reduce feelings of depression by helping you identify and access the resilience and strengths within you to manage negative thoughts.

Eating Disorders

Strength-based therapy can help you grow your inner strengths and give you the tools to manage unhealthy behaviours in a healthy way.

Couples and Families

Couples and families can benefit from a strengths-based approach since it can help re-frame challenges and improve communication. Also, it enables individuals to recognize how their own strengths contribute to the positive dynamics within a relationship.

Self Esteem

By enabling individuals to identify and focus on their greatest strengths as opposed to their weaknesses, strength-based therapy can help them improve their self-confidence and self-esteem. So they can find more happiness and fulfillment in life.

Teen Issues

Strength-based therapy encourages teens to focus on their strengths rather that their shortcomings. By working on what they’re good at, teens will be able to improve their self esteem and become more confident in themselves.

Trauma

Strength-based therapy can help people who have witnessed or experienced a traumatic event develop the resilience, strength and tools to control their own story and overcome their experiences.
