Brief Therapy is a way of conceptualizing therapy, a way of developing a therapeutic relationship. It has a number of aspects. It is directive, active, focused, solution-oriented and psycho-educational. All the many tools, techniques, skills and understandings that Prem Dana has gathered over the last 18 years are utilized in sessions to help clients to access their unique solutions and put them into practice in their own lives. Prem Dana Takada has trained in a range of Brief Therapy approaches including Cognitive Therapy, Ericksonian Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Couple and Family Systems Therapy. She has trained in Australia, London, Oxford, Tokyo, India and the USA.

Long Term Therapy Many people also choose to stay in therapy for long term or ongoing personal development work. In longer term therapy the work continues and further evolution takes place over time.

Alchemical Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy. Prem Dana has also developed a therapeutic approach based on integrating modern psychological techniques with traditional mystery school teachings which focus on meditations of the heart in an East meets West approach. Many discoveries, creative solutions and transformations occur spontaneously so that therapy and thereby life become not so much a doing as a non-doing, an allowing of the unnatural/problem aspects to dissolve and the natural or the essential to flower.

Techniques. A wide range of techniques may be utilized in both brief and longer term therapy  such as dialoguing, imagery, letter writing, metaphor, family genograms and specific "at home" tasks. Clients will discover keys in how to connect with their inherent wisdom, strength, and self acceptance.
