Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Sleepless nights, depression, anxiety, addiction issues, relationship challenges, eating disorders, and recurring thoughts can be effectively addressed through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). This approach helps you understand that your perception of a problem is often more closely connected to your reaction than to the actual situation itself. These are just a few examples of when CBT can be used.
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)
Have you experienced a life-altering event such as an accident, fire, death of a loved one, personal injury or illness, or job dismissal? If you relate to this or another traumatic experience, you may benefit from EMDR therapy. Trauma is an emotional response to a distressing event, and unresolved trauma can often lead to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
Have you ever asked yourself questions like, "What am I doing wrong?", "Why am I not moving forward?", or "Why do I keep repeating the same mistakes?" Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a tool we use to encourage you to visualize the future you want. Together, we will create a series of realistic steps to help you get there. We will help you understand the importance of focusing on solutions rather than on the problems themselves.
Exposure Therapy
Do you fear animals, insects, flying, small spaces, or other seemingly “irrational” fears that others don’t understand? Together, we will face your fears in a safe and supportive environment using small, incremental steps. Exposures are often conducted first through imagination and then gradually in real life. This technique has been very effective for many of my clients.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
If you often feel overwhelmed by your emotions, act impulsively when upset, or find it hard to maintain stable relationships, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) might be a helpful path forward. DBT is designed to provide you with practical tools to better understand and manage your emotions, especially when they feel intense or out of control. It doesn’t ask you to ignore or suppress your feelings—instead, it teaches you to accept your emotions while still making choices that move you toward the life you want.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Have you ever felt stuck in difficult thoughts or emotions, unsure how to move forward? Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based approach that helps people live more meaningful, fulfilling lives—even when facing emotional pain or mental health challenges.
Rather than trying to get rid of uncomfortable feelings, ACT teaches you to accept what you can’t control and take committed action toward what truly matters to you. It’s designed to build psychological flexibility—the ability to stay present, adapt to life’s ups and downs, and make choices aligned with your core values.
Assertiveness Training and Building Boundaries
Do you feel disrespected, taken for granted, or intimidated by family, co-workers, or members of the public? Have you said yes to something you really didn’t want to do? Together, we will help you find your voice and acquire the tools to become more confident and self-assured—able to set healthy boundaries and ask for what you want and need, while respecting the rights and opinions of others.
Mindfulness Practice
If you often feel overwhelmed or frustrated by the demands of daily life, mindfulness can be a powerful tool to help you reconnect with the present moment. Together, we will practice observing your thoughts and feelings without judgment, allowing you to develop greater self-awareness and acceptance. This compassionate approach can help reduce stress, increase focus, and foster a sense of calm, ultimately supporting your overall well-being and productivity.
Art Therapy
Children often find it difficult to express their feelings with words alone. Art Therapy can be extremely beneficial in helping to understand emotions that they struggle to articulate. Most children feel proud to share their artwork and talk about it. Together, we explore the symbolism in their drawings and gain insight into what they are experiencing.
