Our Approach
We believe in a holistic approach to counselling, integrating various therapeutic modalities to best meet your needs:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns to improve emotional regulation and develop personal coping strategies.
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): Combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness strategies to help individuals manage intense emotions and develop healthier relationships.
- Grief and Bereavement Therapy: Provides support and guidance through the grieving process, helping individuals cope with loss and find a path toward healing.
- Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT): It helps individuals and couples recognize, express, and process their emotions to foster deeper emotional connection, resolve conflict, and enhance relationships by creating secure, supportive bonds.
- Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) is a goal-oriented approach that focuses on finding practical solutions to current issues, rather than exploring past problems. It emphasizes strengths and resources to help individuals achieve their desired outcomes.
- Existential Therapy: Explores fundamental questions about life, meaning, and personal values, assisting individuals in finding purpose and direction.
