Visuals of therapy tools and mental wellness themes support content on counselling for emotional balance and life clarity.
Psychotherapy offers a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore your experiences, gain clarity, and develop strategies for meaningful change. Whether you're navigating emotional challenges, relationship struggles, or feeling stuck in life, therapy can help you reconnect with your values, build resilience, and make choices that support your well-being.
​
When should you see a Psychotherapist?
You may benefit from therapy if you are:
  • Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained
  • Experiencing sadness, anxiety, or helplessness that doesn’t lift
  • Struggling to function day-to-day or feeling “off balance”
  • Reacting in ways that feel out of proportion to your usual self
  • Using coping mechanisms like alcohol, drugs, or emotional withdrawal
  • Living with a persistent sense of unease or worry
  • Wanting someone to talk to in a safe, confidential space
What is limited confidentiality? 
Psychotherapists are legally bound, to respect client confidentiality. However, this confidentiality will be waived if in our professional judgement we feel that you are going to harm yourself or harm someone else. ​
​What therapies do we use?
We take an integrative approach, drawing on a range of evidence-based modalities to best suit your needs. These may include:
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Solution-Focused Therapy
  • Motivational Therapy
  • Family Therapy
  • Somatic and mind-body approaches where appropriate
Sessions can be delivered for individuals, couples, families, or groups, and are always tailored to meet you where you are.
