Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is a form of talking therapy whereby an invitation is made to speak about one’s thoughts, feelings and beliefs. This comes with the intention of developing an understanding of one’s internal world, so that possibilities for change can be created. There is an emphasis on exploring early relationships and events in life to see how these might be linked to current experiences.

Monica Cabello has worked with people who have experienced a number of issues, such as paranoia, compulsive behaviour, anxiety, depression, eating problems and trauma in different forms. She completed a second training in Open Dialogue, which was developed in Finland in the 1980s as a response to high levels of psychosis and suicide. It places an emphasis on working with families and social networks together with the individual who is experiencing mental health difficulties. Open Dialogue draws on a number of theoretical models, including systemic family therapy, dialogical theory and social constructionism.

Monica Cabello is registered with the UK Council for Psychotherapy as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, having completed an 8 year training at the Arbours Association. Monica works part-time as a psychotherapist for a charity which supports young people.
