Individual Counselling
We take a “whole-person”, holistic approach to counselling. We view you and the concerns you bring in, within the context of your present experience, your relationships, your history, and the larger systems you are part of. This also means that in our work we will explore your emotions, thoughts, physiological experiences, values, beliefs, and your goals; we want to help you integrate all parts of yourself into a meaningful whole.
While our therapists are trained in various different modalities and have varying areas of focus, we all view therapy through an attachment lens and understand the importance of creating a strong therapeutic relationship. Your therapist will work hard to establish a safe, honest, and non-judgemental space where you can share and explore your experiences freely with professional guidance.
For so many of us, finding time to slow down and reflect can be
next to impossible to find. Therapy is that dedicated, consistent, and reliable space you have been looking for to pause, take a breath, feel your feels, and practice showing up in new ways with unconditional support and guidance.
Our counsellors use a multitude of different modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-based modalities (e.g., Hakomi), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Sex Therapy, and Art Therapy. Our therapists will work with you to find the right combination of techniques and approaches to fit your unique needs and goals so that you get the most out of your counselling experience.
