THERAPEUTIC MODEL

THE WEST

Each client’s treatment plan is tailored to their specific treatment needs. We ensure we work with clients as individuals and meet them where they are on their journey of recovery. A combination of treatment modalities can be implemented at any given time to ensure clients receive the very best treatment contributing towards positive outcomes and long-term recovery.

Treatment modalities can include:
• CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): CBT is used to treat a wide range of disorders including depression, anxiety, stress, addiction and phobias. It is based on the concept that thoughts and feelings play a fundamental role in people’s behavior. Clients develop new ways of thinking and behaving therefore changing the way they feel about themselves and the world around them.
• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing): EMDR is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from emotional distress resulting from disturbing life experiences. EMDR focuses on bringing disturbing past memories and events to the fore, desensitizing them in order for the past memories not to have a negative impact on one’s wellbeing in the present. EMDR is one of the very few trauma modalities to have a proven track record towards positive outcomes.
• Neuro feedback and Biofeedback: direct training of brain function by which the brain learns to become more efficient and to acquire more appropriate behavioural patterns.
• Somatic experiencing: relieving posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and trauma-related health problems by focusing on perceived body sensations.

THE MUSIC

Music therapy: is one of the expressive therapies, consisting of a process in which a music therapist uses music and all of its facets—physical, emotional, mental, social, aesthetic, and spiritual—to help clients improve their physical and mental health. Music therapists primarily help clients improve their health in several domains, such as cognitive functioning, motor skills, emotional development, social skills, and quality of life by using both active and passive music experiences such as free improvisation, song, dance, listening, and discussion of music to achieve treatment goals. There is a wide qualitative and quantitative research literature base which incorporates clinical therapy, psychotherapy, biomusicology, musical acoustics, music theory, psychoacoustics, embodied music cognition.
