Utilizing primarily Emotion Focussed Individual Therapy (EFIT), Ariette's therapeutic style is also holistic and integrative, drawing from frameworks such as Narrative Therapy, Family Systems and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy to assist people with maladaptive patterns of thinking and behaving so that they can be mentally healthier and feel secure.
