No cookie-cutter methods here. I use an integrative approach utilizing evidence-based therapies that suit you and your needs best. I have extensive training and experience using the following treatment modalities:

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) - This therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns, emotional responses and the associated behaviours.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) - This therapy helps clients learn to stop avoiding, denying, and struggling with their inner emotions and instead, learn to accept these deeper feelings as appropriate responses to either past or present situations, and commit to making the necessary changes in their behaviour, thinking and coping skills.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) - This therapy focuses on how to live in the moment, develop healthy ways to manage stress, regulate their emotions, and improve their relationships with others.

Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) - This therapy uses methods designed to help people accept, express, regulate, make sense of, and transform emotion.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) - This therapy supports clients to move away from past- or future-focused thinking, and increase present-focused awareness of the thoughts, feelings, and actions that interfere with clients’ progress.

Motivational Interviewing - This therapy helps people resolve ambivalent feelings and insecurities to find the internal motivation they need to change their behaviour.
