What's in the Name? Why Think Blue Tree?
TL;DR Version:
Think Blue Tree is about managing your mind (Think), making wise choices (Blue), and staying flexible and connected (Tree)- all so you can grow and flourish, no matter what life throws at you!
The Story Behind the Name:
The name Think Blue Tree is more than just a collection of words, it’s a way of making sense of things that might not seem connected at first. But once you hear what each part means, it can change how you see it. And that’s how our minds work as well- by connecting ideas, making meanings, and creating new ways to understand the world.
Think
This is about our unique human ability: we don’t just react, we think. We can observe and reflect on our own thoughts and learn to interact with them. This ability to step back and notice our mind’s chatter gives us the power to make wiser choices and live in a way that really matters.
Blue
Blue is often linked to wisdom. Wisdom isn’t just knowing stuff, it’s understanding how to use it in ways that bring meaning, connection, and balance. It’s what guides us when we face tough choices or challenges.
Tree
The tree stands for growth, flexibility, and connection. Trees bend and sway in storms. They’re rooted, flexible, and connected to the world around them- just like we can be.
Put together, Think Blue Tree is a simple way to remember how to handle life’s challenges: manage your mind, use your wisdom, and stay flexible and connected. That’s how we can grow and flourish, no matter what comes our way.
What is Mental Health Coaching?
Mental Health Coaching is about putting you back in the driver’s seat of your life!
Drawing on evidence-based approaches from CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), as well as practical methods and insights from psychology, counselling, coaching, and lifestyle medicine, Mental Health Coaching focuses on building the skills and know-how to handle the hard stuff like challenging situations, thoughts, and emotions, while supporting meaningful changes in how you live, feel, and relate to others.
It’s not just about talking! It’s about learning to take confident action, finding out and connecting with what matters most to you, and growing into the person you want to become.
All in a supportive, down-to-earth space where you’re encouraged to learn, grow, and flourish!
What Approaches Does Think Blue Tree Use?
At Think Blue Tree, we are committed to one thing: helping you flourish. To do this, we focus on evidence-based approaches- methods that have been shown to work. We look at what’s effective, how it fits into your life, and how we can apply it in a way that makes sense for you.
Here’s what we use:
- ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy): Backed by a strong body of research, ACT is built on contextual behavioural science and RFT (Relational Frame Theory). It helps you build psychological flexibility so you can handle difficult thoughts, feelings, and situations more effectively and move toward what truly matters.
- CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy): Focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, helping you create healthier patterns.
- MI (Motivational Interviewing): A collaborative approach to boost your motivation and commitment to change, especially when you’re feeling stuck.
- Lifestyle Medicine: Practical guidance on areas like sleep, nutrition, movement, and stress management to support your overall mental and physical wellbeing.
- Philosophical Counselling/Coaching: Drawing from traditions like Stoicism, Existentialism, and other wisdom traditions, we integrate deep, timeless ideas into everyday life to help you gain perspective, purpose, and clarity.
It is all about empowering you to build a fulfilling and meaningful life, figuring out what really matters to you, what kind of person you want to be, and how to move forward while handling challenges effectively.
Mental Health Coaching at Think Blue Tree is active, practical, and future-focused. We work with you to develop flexible thinking (also known as psychological flexibility), which helps you respond to life’s ups and downs with resilience and openness.
We focus on mild to moderate mental health issues, personal growth, mental fitness, and general wellbeing. We do not diagnose mental illnesses or prescribe medications, but we are happy to work alongside your existing treatment if you are on medication.
Most importantly, we see you as a whole person- not someone who is broken or needs fixing, but a human being facing the natural challenges of life.
Our goal? To help you flourish. The ancient Greeks called this flourishing Eudaimonia – a way of living that is rich with meaning, growth, and adaptability. Together, we will work toward that. And as you grow, life gets better.
What Will Mental Health Coaching Help With?
Mental Health Coaching is valuable for almost any challenge in life. From mild to moderate mental health struggles, life transitions, workplace or sports performance, wellbeing, and all personal growth goals.
