Whether we face challenges, recognize negative thinking, behaviour, or relationship patterns or we simply strive for personal growth and potential psychotherapy can be very beneficial. It helps us to understand why we do what we do; it helps us to understand who we are and how to initiate a change. It is important to learn how to live here and now and to be able to say hat is important to us. I incorporate elements of psychodynamic therapy and I agree that increased self-awareness can initiate a change.

The words “therapy” and “counselling” are generally used interchangeably, but there is a difference between “psychotherapy” and “psychological counselling.” The latter tends to be more focused on the symptoms of the “problem” such as an addiction or managing stress. This approach is often more short term in comparison to psychotherapy. Psychotherapy focuses on issues that can be seen as more broad. In my work as a psychologist, I have come to believe in psychotherapy as an approach to support longer term sustainable outcomes. Through psychotherapy we can help you experience more satisfaction in your relationships and improve emotion management in life situations that are stressful.

My approach to psychotherapy is combining mind, body, and spirit. I am a Certified Integrative Body Psychotherapy practitioner and see that the body is essential for healing from psychological pain. Many of our psychological issues stem from traumas sustained in early childhood or later in adulthood. Talking about trauma will only take us so far in our healing and to resolve our emotional patterns, we need to engage the body in the healing process. We store all of our traumas in the body and this is the place where ultimately we need to go to heal the injuries. The body knows how to heal and be well and we need to tap into its inherent wisdom.

My approach to Interpersonal Psychotherapy (ITP) is a safe, respectful, natural, and dynamic interactive process. I view the client-therapist experience as an interpersonal relationship that is founded on the principles of mutual respect and genuine caring.

Most of us use only a small percentage of our physical, mental, spiritual, and relational potentialities. By accessing a range of therapeutic techniques s....
