Therapeutic Approaches 

Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) is a short-term, goal-oriented approach that helps clients create change by focusing on solutions rather than problems. Drawing on positive psychology, it highlights strengths, builds hope, and supports clients in identifying practical steps toward a preferred future. SFT is future-focused, empowering, and effective in helping individuals move forward with confidence and clarity — making it a great fit for men seeking clear, actionable support through Wood for Trees.

Person-Centred Practice places the individual at the heart of the therapeutic process, recognising them as a person first — not defined by their condition, diagnosis, or challenges. The focus is on what the person can do, building on their strengths, preferences, and aspirations. Support is tailored to suit each person’s unique needs, values, and life circumstances, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

At Wood for Trees, this means creating a respectful, collaborative space where men feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful choices about their own journey.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a proven, evidence-based approach that effectively supports a wide range of mental and emotional health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and anger.

CBT helps you recognise and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and develop practical strategies to manage emotions and behaviours. These tools are designed to create immediate, positive changes in your daily life and overall wellbeing.

It’s a useful approach for anyone who feels stuck in negative thought cycles or is struggling to move toward their goals. At Wood for Trees, CBT offers a structured, empowering way to break through mental roadblocks and build a more balanced, fulfilling life.
