About Dr Daniel Moerken Counselling & Psychotherapy
My approach to psychotherapy
There are many, many different models of psychotherapy. That means different theories concerning how we develop as people, where psychological stress and suffering comes from, and how we grow and get better. These models in turn determine what therapy looks like in practice.
Despite the vast number of approaches, most of these broadly build on one of three foundational models, or a mixture of the three. These three are: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Humanistic Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. I primarily draw on Humanistic and Psychodynamic models in my work, specifically Object Relations, Ego Psychology, Attachment Theory, and Person-Centred Therapy.
Central to my approach to psychotherapy is the belief that our past experiences in relationships have an impact on our lives today. This is because our brains are built to constantly create blueprints of the world, so as to better predict what to expect in the future. In relationships, this means that our experiences early on in life create blueprints for what to expect form relationships in the future. From research we know that these “blueprints” are hard to change and often effect how we relate to others for the rest of our lives. For example, if I have experienced related rejection in my life, then that would likely be part of my blueprint of what to expect in relationships. Thus, even if the rejection happen when I was a child, I would likely enter into adult relationships believing that the other person will ventrally reject me. I might then hold back from investing in the relationship, thus minimising the pain with rejection comes, or I might try to reject the other person first. These blueprints can be largely unconscious, which means you might see yourself behave in a certain way, or feel a certain way, and have no idea why. People often come to therapy because they feel stuck in relationship patterns that they wish they could change, but can’t seem to get out of or fix.
