Individual Counselling
A supportive and confidential space, accessible from anywhere, to meet you where you are on your journey.
What is Individual Counselling?
Individual counselling, also known as psychotherapy, is a form of mental health treatment that involves one-on-one sessions between a therapist and an individual seeking support. Everyone’s journey is different. One-on-one sessions allow for personalized, focused care where you can:
Share your story without judgment
Explore your emotions, patterns, and relationships
Build tools for communication, regulation, and resilience
Set goals that feel right for you, not imposed by others
Make space for healing, self-acceptance, and growth
Counselling Approaches
We embrace a diverse range of therapeutic approaches and theories tailored to meet your unique needs.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) was developed by psychologist Steven C. Hayes, along with colleagues Kelly Wilson and Kirk Strosahl. Originating in the late 20th century, ACT is a mindfulness-based therapeutic method that empowers individuals to develop psychological flexibility, enabling them to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and purpose.
How ACT Works
In ACT, we guide clients in cultivating mindfulness, accepting difficult thoughts and emotions without judgment, and clarifying personal values. This therapeutic approach encourages individuals to commit to meaningful actions aligned with their values, fostering a more fulfilling and purpose-drive life.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy was developed by psychologist Aaron T. Beck in the 1960s. CBT is a evidence-based therapeutic approach that focuses on understanding and reshaping thought patterns and behaviours to promote positive mental health.
How CBT Works:
We employ CBT techniques to help individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress and maladaptive behaviours. By fostering awareness and implementing practical strategies, clients develop effective coping mechanisms and lasting positive change.
Emotion Focused Therapy
Developed by psychologists Leslie S. Greenberg and Sue Johnson, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) is a dynamic and experiential approach designed to help individuals explore and regulate their emotions to foster positive transformation.
How EFT works:
We use EFT to guide individuals in understanding and expressing their emotions effectively. EFT focuses on the role of emotions in shaping our experiences and relationships, aiming to create a secure emotional bond with oneself and others. Through a collaborative process, clients develop insight, resilience, and healthier ways of relating.
Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Developed by psychologists Zindel Segal, Mark Williams, and John Teasdale, Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (MBCT) integrates the principles of traditional CBT with mindfulness practices, offering a holistic approach to mental well-being.
How MBCT works:
We utilize MBCT to help individuals cultivate mindfulness, enabling them to become more aware of their thoughts and emotions. By incorporating mindfulness into the therapeutic process, clients develop a greater capacity to respond skillfully to stressors, reduce reactivity, and foster a sense of calm and balance.
Neurodiversity Affirming
We embrace neurodivergence as a natural variation of the brain and nervous system. Neurodiversity-affirming counselling recognizes the unique strengths and needs of neurodivergent individuals, focusing on accommodations and supports that empower clients to thrive as their authentic selves.
