Cognitive Behaviour Therapist Dr Victoria Timm
I am a Counselling Psychologist working in the Rivonia area in Johannesburg. Â I am also a registered Research Psychologist. Although I have been trained in different approaches I specialise mostly in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT).
I favour this approach as it is evidence-based, meaning that research has shown that the approach works for a broad base of problems of varying severity. However, I do have experience in other therapeutic approaches and therefore tailor the therapy model to each client’s unique needs.
Another reason for my preference for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is that various techniques are taught to the client enabling them to take skills with them and this reduces the likelihood of relapse.
In short, I have found that a Cognitive Behaviour Therapy approach has helped many people looking for assistance in dealing with the stresses, strains and difficulties that are part of our lives. Furthermore, I find this approach is compatible with my personal beliefs and values that are Christian in orientation.
