Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) considers clients strengths and resources to create positive change. It is brief and goal-oriented. It focuses on the clients’: - Present situation and future goals - Health and not the problem, - Strengths and not weaknesses or deficits. - Skills, resources, and coping abilities that support attaining future goals. - It assists clients in exploring their current position and pondering possible solutions rather than dwelling on past problems. During SFBT sessions, the clients describe what they want to happen in their lives (solutions) and explore how they will use self-guided tools to solve their problems. At TGC, SFBT counsellors facilitate the client's session and empower them from their perspective. Doing so increases the client's capacity to believe that positive changes are possible.
From my eight years of experience working in the early years setting, I understand the crucial role of Play in children’s learning and development. I have engaged the children in the Play-Based Learning approach. PBL is child-centred and focuses on children’s academic, social, and emotional development, interests, and abilities through engaging and developmentally appropriate learning experiences. I understand that Play is an essential tool in children’s all-round development. For example, it: Stimulates their cognitive development, Supports language development, Enhances problem-solving skills and encourages creativity, Play lays a strong foundation for children’s future all-around attainments. At TGC, the understanding positively impacts how we facilitate each child’s therapy session. We engage children through Play, enabling them to have a natural curiosity to explore, make connections, and understand what is seen, heard, and experienced in their world. We empower them to develop independence, perseverance, and turn- taking skills. Doing so helps our clients break behavioural barriers, negotiate, and build positive relationships. We provide an inclusive, safe space that supports them in unlocking opportunities to practice in their home, fostering a love for change, developing imagination, and help grasping concepts in a fun and engaging way.
Well-being is a comprehensive concept that encompasses various aspects of a person’s life, focusing on their overall health, happiness, and quality of life.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing the automatic negative thoughts that can contribute to and worsen emotional difficulties, depression, and anxiety. It focuses on how your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes affect your feelings and actions and teaches you coping skills for dealing with destructive or disturbing thought patterns that negatively influence your behaviour and emotional problems.
Psychotherapy, often referred to as “talk therapy,” is a method of treating mental health issues and emotional difficulties through structured conversations with a trained therapist. The goal of psychotherapy is to help individuals understand their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, and to develop healthier ways of coping with and managing their problems.
Person/ Client-Centred therapy is a non-directive approach that requires you to take the reins during your therapy sessions actively. Your TGC therapist will not give you their opinions, advice or prescribe medication. Instead, we will act mainly as a guide or a source of support while you are in charge of your therapy. We will help you find your own solutions- whether making effective changes in your life or finding ways of coping with your problems.
In Filial Therapy, the parent/carer is trained in conducting communication sessions with the child/young person. At TGC, we believe parents/carers are the most important people in their child's healing and development. Therefore, we aim to provide the parents or the children's primary caregivers with the appropriate skills necessary to become the therapeutic facilitators of change in their homes.

Transpersonal Therapy values wholeness. It addresses mental, physical, social, emotional, creative, and intellectual needs, focusing on the importance of a healthy spirit in healing. For healing and growth to occur, a connection embraces the spirit, mind, and soul of both the client and counsellor in the here and now. Transpersonal therapy requires demonstrating honesty, open-mindedness, and self-awareness, and the focus is on the spiritual aspect of the client’s experiences.
