The focus is on finding practical solutions and creating positive change in the present.
Strategic psychotherapy is a particular type of individual psychotherapy which focuses on creating strategic interventions to address specific issues and facilitate positive change. Many and varied studies show positive outcomes for strategic interventions in individual therapy, particularly for issues such as substance and behavioural addictions, anxiety disorders (including phobias), depression and relationship problems as well as confronting those hurdles which interfere with an unfolding life direction.
Luke aims to identify ineffective patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving, and using clinical hypnosis, to change these patterns and achieve desired outcomes. Luke provides certain bespoke interventions that, when strategically timed and tailored to the individual, can bring about rapid and effective change.
Senior Therapist
Goal-oriented and solution-focused
Strategic psychotherapy places a strong emphasis on setting specific, measurable goals and working collaboratively with the client to develop strategies to achieve those goals. The focus is on finding practical solutions and creating positive change in the present.
Active and directive
The therapist in strategic psychotherapy takes an active and directive role, providing guidance, offering specific interventions, and prescribing tasks or behaviours to disrupt ineffective patterns and facilitate change.
Brief and time-limited
Strategic psychotherapy is typically designed to be a shorter-term therapy approach, often lasting a few sessions or months, as it aims to achieve efficient and effective results in addressing specific issues.
Utilisation of strategic techniques
Strategic psychotherapy employs a range of strategic techniques and interventions, such as reframing, paradoxical interventions, or prescribing the symptom, to create shifts in thinking, feeling, and behaviour.
Consideration of systemic factors
Strategic psychotherapy acknowledges the influence of systemic factors, such as family dynamics or social context, on individual issues and incorporates this understanding into the therapeutic process.
