INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Give Yourself Another Chance
Individual therapy, with me, will be about building a trusting and secure relationship, where you will be encouraged and challenged to explore and make meaning of your world.
Therapy is the process of learning to understand and take control of our internal world, these are our thoughts, emotions and body sensations, and our external world which are our behaviours.
People often wonder why they cannot seem to “do it on their own”.
We live in a world where we have many relationships, some good and some not so good. Our relationships have the ability to build us up or tear us down.
Therapy is about being in a relationship with your therapist where you are truly known by someone, encouraged, challenged and safe. Your therapist will apply different approaches and techniques to help you reach your goals and make a life worth living.
Issues addressed in individual therapy range from anxiety and depression to anger management, as well as parenting to working through important decisions.

EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
EMDR engages our natural psychological and emotional healing system to help us heal from disturbing memories.
We know there is a natural healing system in that two people can go through very similar difficult or traumatic life circumstances and one will have lasting effects and the other may not.
EMDR is different than other therapies in that it does not require going over your story over and over as in other therapies.
