Richa believes that no typical therapeutic approach/modality can fit all the clients. Hence, prefers an eclectic approach (deriving from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and trauma-focused therapy among others), in understanding each client’s experience and weaving therapeutic approaches/techniques along that. She truly believes that we cannot comprehend our inner world , without understanding the connection between body and mind, this aspect informs her practice as well.
Within each session, the focus goes on both explorative work (processing thoughts and emotions) as well as directive actionable steps focused on the behavior. The aim is not to give quick temporary solutions, rather diving deeper and taking the longer walk.
