Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

Counselling is my life's work. I am in love with learning and do not believe in a "one size fits all" approach to therapy. My first priority is to establish a good relationship with my client(s), to listen and create a safe space for them. I use my instincts, my years of experience and wisdom to customize treatment for each of my clients. I respect the wisdom of each person and believe that counselling can be a collaborative process between therapist and client. I am there to support, encourage, listen with compassion and to guide clients to find their own direction and empowerment. I also teach specific skills for communication, managing depression and anxiety and trauma symptoms.

Psychotherapy can be a powerful tool to help you grow in self-awareness, notice patterns in your life and help you heal. Just like when you watch a chess game from the outside, you can notice things about the game in a way that you cannot see when you are in a game, in the same way, psychotherapy can be extremely helpful in helping you to see yourself with more clarity and that clarity will result in a more fulfilled, intentional life.

Fundamental to the work is a good therapeutic relationship. That is, we have the collaboration and trust to combine your knowledge of yourself and your situation and my skills and knowledge of the clinical issues to make change happen. With established trust and rapport between us, we can develop a structureless structure for our treatment plan. That is, one flexible enough to give space to deal with thoughts and feelings spontaneously each week, and structured enough to accomplish your goals.

Psychotherapy (or counselling) is ‘talk therapy’ – where you, as the client, share: your experiences, goals, challenges, presenting concerns, both verbally and nonverbally. Through this communication a therapeutic relationship (or alliance) is formed. This relationship acts a safe space for you to explore, excavate, evaluate, take new risks, etc. In a large way, engaging in the therapeutic relationship is ‘practise’ for the real world. I, as the therapist, will work with multiple modalities (or theoretical orientations) within our dialogue and engagement, which will serve to help us reflect, challenge, bear to light, collaborate, as well as model things (such as security, compassion, etc.).

Psychotherapy is a fancy word for "talk therapy." Within a safe, therapeutic relationship psychotherapy can help clients explore and gain an understanding of how their past may be influencing the present and how behavioural and relationship patterns may be getting in the way of reaching goals. Heather is familiar with all of the major approaches to psychotherapy and may incorporate other forms of therapy, including somatic therapies, to respond to the unique needs of each client.

Psychotherapy is a broad term that includes counselling, mental health, and therapy. My approach to psychotherapy is geared toward the specific needs of each client. Not one approach works for everyone and so I don't try to help all my clients with one type of therapy. Instead, I do an initial assessment on the phone and then at the first session and then base my treatment approach from the information gained. I also ensure that I check-in with my client as we continue our work to ensure the approaches being used are proving helpful and adjust accordingly to their input and as more information is provided.

Psychotherapy can help you uncover negative thought patterns and beliefs that have kept you stuck and unhappy. It can give you hope that there is a better way to live and that you do have choices and options. It can teach you different ways of communicating which are less defensive and attacking and more positive and inviting. Therapy can help you see yourself and others in your current life as well as those in your past, with more forgiveness and understanding. It can completely transform your life If you are willing.

Are you a gay man who wants to improve the relationship with yourself? The stresses and traumas you’ve experiences as a gay man throughout your life may have made it hard to love yourself and left you feeling stuck and frustrated.

All of us have can attest to the life experience of having been ‘thrown a curve ball’, ranging from a ‘bump on the road’ to full out ‘holy smokes, what just happened?!” In addressing these issues, Bronwyn has a warm and pragmatic approach that assists clients to pro-actively move forward from self-limiting patterns of behaviours and helps clients to process challenging life events using recognized therapeutic interventions.

She puts clients at ease by assuring them of a safe, non-judgmental environment where their concerns are addressed with compassion and respect. Aware that clients are tired of feeling ‘stuck’, Bronwyn works collaboratively with her clients to formulate go

Psychotherapy or talk therapy can be a helpful way to address problems and create meaningful change in your life. Utilizing a number of therapeutic models I hope to provide an empathetic and non-judgemental experience to explore "problems". Sessions are typically one hour and can be a safe and confidential space to share concerns, worries, fears, hopes, and needs. We will collaborate on goals for our work together. Therapeutic approaches include: Response-Based Practice, Attachment Theory, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, CBT, and Systemic Family Therapy.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.
