Therapeutic Modalities
SFT “Solution Focused Therapy”
Sometimes you don’t need to spend all of your time looking back at what has gone wrong. SFT focuses on where you want to go and what can help you get there. In exploring what is already working we focus on your strengths and the changes that can move you forward.
Gottman Method Couples Therapy
This therapy aims to increase affection, intimacy, and empathy while disarming conflicting communication. You will identify your strengths and challenges and shift from negative interactions to positive ones by building on empathy through understanding of your partner.
ART “Accelerated Resolution Therapy”
Sometimes you can understand what happened to you but your mind and body still react as thought it is happening now. ART is structured trauma focused therapy that can help you work through distressing memories, difficult emotions and experiences that continue to negatively affect you.
CBT”Cognitive Behavioural Therapy”
The way we think effects that way we feel and the way we behave . CBT will help you connect your thoughts and emotions and behaviours and how these patterns can sometimes keep you feeling stuck.
EFT “Emotional Focused Therapy”
EFT Helps clients to slow down and become more aware of their emotional experience so they can begin to process difficult emotions and develop healthier ways of responding, and create meaningful change.
Why Client Centered Counselling?
I will meet you with genuine empathy and respect within a non judgemental approach. These are three important qualities a client should look for when seeking a therapist. Empathy is the ability to identify with and understand the client’s situation, feelings and motives. It provides the foundation for a therapeutic relationship because it establishes the personal connection. Traits of genuineness include being open, honest, and sincere and an absence of defensiveness and phoniness. In knowing we are all, with our strengths and weaknesses the atmosphere in which we will be working will allow for profound issues to be brought to the surface for examination and transformation.
Our client-therapist relationship is essential to establishing a successful outcome by promoting willingness for you to share and engage with me, your counsellor. Why is this crucial? This promotes increased propensity toward self awareness and change in behavior, thoughts and beliefs. It is also important that counseling remain client focused by discussing and defining the goals of you the client, rather than the counsellor imposing their own mandates and judgments.
