Our Approach
We believe in a holistic approach to counselling, integrating various therapeutic modalities to best meet your needs:
- Sensorimotor Psychotherapy: Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) is a body-oriented talk therapy that integrates somatic awareness into the psychotherapeutic process. Unlike traditional talk therapy, SP works bottom-up—starting with body sensations, movement, posture, and gesture—to process trauma, regulate emotions, and resolve relational wounds. The approach is particularly effective for trauma survivors whose verbal memory may be impaired, or who experience dysregulation without clear cognitive content. SP assumes that the body holds the implicit memory of trauma, and that healing requires attention to the nervous system and sensorimotor experiences, not just thoughts and feelings.
- 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.
- Grief and Bereavement Therapy: Provides support and guidance through the grieving process, helping individuals cope with loss and find a path toward healing.
- Existential Therapy: Explores fundamental questions about life, meaning, and personal values, assisting individuals in finding purpose and direction.
- 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.
