our approach

making sense of your journey

We’re interested in you and your life.

That’s why we tend to look beyond the immediate problem to explore your views, beliefs, and your life as a whole to help you get a better understanding of yourself and open up possibilities for meaningful change.

 

Together, we’ll come up with a goal together from the very first session.

Maybe your symptoms are overwhelming, or maybe you want to get a better understanding of who you are. Whatever you might be facing, we’ll unpack it together.

 

the modalities we like

We believe that we need to make room for not only the immediate symptoms and/or problem, but for the deeper questions behind them.

There is depth and complexity to our lives and who we are. We’re all part of larger systems that affect our history, experiences, beliefs, and values. That’s why our approach is grounded in:

  • Narrative Therapy

  • Existential Therapy

We combine these more exploratory modalities with a broad range of evidence-based approaches to provide you with strategies, techniques and concrete solutions.

While we use a range of different evidence-based approaches, the modalities we apply most often are:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT)

  • Narrative therapy is about exploring how our histories, social systems, and culture have influenced our views of ourselves and the world. It is an empowering approach because it can help you realize that you can challenge and change beliefs and views that have not been helpful.

  • Existential therapy is about looking at the deeper, universally human experience. It helps you to find meaning and purpose in life. Sometimes that means looking at your personal values and what is important to you, spiritual connection, and how you want to live your life.


  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps to change the maladaptive thoughts, views, and behaviours that can stop you from achieving goals that are important to you.

     

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is about committing to goals that match your values. This can sometimes mean accepting the struggles and emotions that may come with the journey. Through ACT, you can learn strategies to help you through it.

           

  • Solution-Focused Therapy helps you to create the future you want by clarifying your goals and developing strategies to achieve them. It recognizes that change is not only possible but inevitable and concrete goals will help you get to where you want to be.
