Our Unique Approach to
Therapy

Our approach is tailored to your needs—whether you’re navigating stress, trauma, identity, relationships, or complex life transitions. We blend evidence-based psychotherapy with warmth, clinical depth, and mind-body awareness to support meaningful healing.

Psychotherapy

Helps you understand how emotions, stress, and thoughts connect, supporting long term emotional health.

ISTDP (Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy)

ISTDP helps clients access and release repressed emotions for meaningful change.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

MBCT cultivates awareness and calm to help prevent emotional overwhelm.

Gottman Method Couples Therapy

The Gottman Method uses research-based tools to help couples improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen emotional connection.

Structural Dissociation Theory

Explains how trauma can cause disconnection that shapes a person’s thoughts and feelings.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories through gentle bilateral stimulation, reducing emotional distress and promoting long-term healing.

Cognitive behaviour Therapy (CBT)

CBT teaches people to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, building practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.

R-TEP (Recent Traumatic Episode Protocol)

R-TEP is an EMDR early-intervention protocol that helps individuals process recent traumatic events before they become entrenched, reducing the risk of PTSD and long-term distress.

G-TEP (Group Traumatic Episode Protocol)

G-TEP is a gentle, EMDR-based group protocol that helps people privately process shared traumatic experiences and stabilize the nervous system after overwhelming events.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

ART uses rapid eye movements and guided imagery to quickly reduce distress associated with painful memories while helping clients stay grounded and in control.

Brainspotting

Brainspotting uses focused visual attention to access and release trauma stored in the brain and body, allowing for deep emotional and somatic healing.

Schema Therapy

Schema Therapy identifies and transforms long-standing emotional and relational patterns formed in childhood, supporting deep, sustainable change.

Narrative Therapy

Narrative Therapy helps clients re-examine and re-author the stories they hold about themselves, fostering greater agency, identity, and empowerment.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

SFBT focuses on strengths, resources, and future possibilities rather than problems, helping clients create meaningful change through small, achievable steps.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT – Skills Informed)

DBT teaches core skills in mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to support stability and reduce emotional intensity.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS helps clients understand and compassionately connect with their internal “parts,” promoting emotional regulation and healing from past wounds.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT helps individuals build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult emotions, stay present, and take actions aligned with personal values.

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT)

TF-CBT combines CBT tools with trauma processing to help clients manage emotional distress and heal from traumatic experiences safely and effectively.

Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT)

EFIT helps individuals explore how early attachment experiences shape current emotions and relationships, fostering greater self-understanding and emotional balance.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

A compassionate therapy model that helps clients build harmony to heal from the inside out.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

EFT helps individuals and couples understand emotional patterns, express core needs, and strengthen secure, connected relationships.

Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR)

DBR targets the brainstem’s first instinctive reaction to threat, releasing deep, pre-verbal tension and helping resolve chronic fear, attachment wounds, and complex trauma.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access subconscious patterns and support emotional or behavioural change.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational experiences shape emotional patterns, helping clients build healthier and more secure connections.

Somatic Work

Somatic Work helps clients tune into the body’s sensations and nervous system responses, supporting trauma healing through increased regulation, grounding, and embodied awareness.

Queer-Affirming Therapy

Provides safe, identity-affirming support for LGBTQIA+ clients by honouring their lived experiences, validating their identities, and addressing the unique impacts of stigma, trauma, and marginalization.

Somatic Regulation

Somatic Regulation helps clients tune into body-based sensations and nervous system cues to support grounding, emotional regulation, and trauma recovery through increased awareness and safety in the body.

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)

Helps people heal from trauma by shifting painful thoughts or self-blame.

Culturally Adaptive Therapy

Tailors therapy to align with your cultural identity, values, and worldview for authentic connection and understanding.

Teaches present-moment awareness and grounding techniques to reduce stress and improve emotional balance.
