Types of Therapy
There are several different types of psychological therapy that may be helpful to you or your child.
Dr Kirsty Hildebrandt has experience in a broad range of psychological treatments and therapies. She prides herself in using evidenced-based psychological therapies that have been shown by research to be helpful and effective.

She will work with you to choose the best therapy, or combinations of therapies, for you.
What psychological therapy is right for me?
There are many different types of psychological therapy. Some are based more on talking through issues and expressing feelings. Others are very strategy based – they involve learning and trying new ways to manage feelings, actions and thoughts. Still others look at relationship patterns and communication skills. It is important to use evidenced-based therapies because these have been researched and found to be effective. But it is important to choose the right fit for you and the right fit for the problem. To help your choice, here are some of the common therapies Kirsty may use with you:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Mindfulness Therapy
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)
Narrative Therapy
