Psychotherapy will often provide treatment that is more long-term than counseling and address issues on a deeper level. This may include looking at long-standing patterns of behavior, talking about childhood causes of current problems, or an intensive attempt to understand and alter thinking, feeling or behavior patterns. People who might benefit from seeing a therapist include: someone dealing with a severe mental illness, such as depression or an anxiety disorder; someone who has experienced something traumatic, such as violence or rape; or someone who wants to improve and gain a deeper understanding of relationships in their lives.

Psychotherapy is an effective means for bringing significant life change. At Fresh Hope Counselling, we focus on psychotherapy which brings relief to difficult circumstances as quickly as possible.

If you are looking to have a thorough understanding of your personality, with the goal of the greatest possible degree of growth and change, psychotherapy will help you. People may make behavioural changes through counselling but do they change on the inside? From my experience, long-lasting change needs to be congruent with one's inner self. Psychotherapy is usually longer term and more "in depth" but the rewards and benefits are richer and life long.

My approach to psychotherapy is that change takes time. I work long term with most of my clients so that they may realize "real" change in their lives. Psychotherapy to me, is more than counseling. Counseling tends to focus on techniques and solutions; however, psychotherapy is a process of change. This process will the experienced with me in the room and also during the time between sessions. The commitment to the process of change is crucial for successful results.

I use an object-relations theory to psychotherapy. This means that we explore your early attachments and experiences to determine the assumptions you have made about your life. This should help you understand who you are, why you do what you do, and what you can do differently. I generally do not lead clients with questions, but give you the space to explore your past and how it relates to your future. The potential benefit to you is more self-control, better self-awareness, and feeling more connected to yourself and your emotions.

I envision psychotherapy as a growth process. I know the medical model well; I just don't center my therapeutic approach on treating diseases. I treat people. Rather than diagnose-treat-cure, my model is connect-interact-become. It's a personal growth model. The willingnesss to permit a professional to facilitate your personal growth is not a disease; it's an accomplishment.

Psychotherapy leads to in-depth understanding about ourselves. This understanding is prerequisite to engaging intimately with others and having conscious control over our needs are reactions.

I use various orientations depending on the individuals and his/her needs. During therapy with me, we look at issues from their childhood to the present day. Unresolved childhood issues can play a major role in a client's present difficulties. At times the exploration of past issues can be painful however I do it in an empathic, supportive and compassionate manner. I practice both Brief and Long-term Psychotherapy.

Psychological freedom comes not from the lack of so called "negative" emotions, instead it comes from the ability to understand their source and use their strength appropriately. Challenges often come either from the denial of difficult emotions, or from allowing emotions too much control. Confusion or uncertainty around how to interpret our emotional self creates difficulties in our day-to-day lives, our relationships, our confidence. Let me show you how even extreme anxiety such as OCD or generalized anxiety, anger, jealousy, depression, and even PTSD symptoms can be managed through Emotion Focused Therapy.

Psychotherapy includes a more long-term exploration into one's inner functioning, in order to make lasting change. While doing psychotherapy, I assist my clients to look into their inner life, which often includes looking back at family of origin issues or past relationships to learn how one has become who they are today, and then identifying areas where they would like to see change. We then work to shift these patterns of being to create a more fulfilling, peaceful life, with healthier choices.

Psychotherapy is a unique process of self-discovery in which the client investigates, accepts and experiences the inner workings of his/her mind with the trained support and reassuring guidance of the therapist.

As a Registered (Provisional) Psychologist, I will work along side you to support you in what you want to change about your life. Consider me a partner, coach, therapist, and collaborator as we work together to develop an understanding of the issues and challenges you face. I believe that change requires a road map so that we know the direction we are headed. Imagine taking a trip without a map or destination in mind. Once we have an idea or plan of where you want to be in your life, charting a course for change becomes a process of discussing alternative ways to get there. My client-centered approach adapts to the goals, needs, and learning preferences of clients.

In psychotherapy a safe, professional, nonjudgemental, and caring environment is established to assist clients in change, healing, and the development of tools to respond to life's challenges and transitions in healthy and constructive way.

I use a theoretically integrated approach that combines humanist, cognitive-behavioural, narrative, gestalt, and interpersonal techniques. I use a supportive reality based approach that focuses on processing the after-effects of challenging experiences and moving towards greater personal responsibility, and active decision-making in relationships. My goal is to provide a safe environment in which to explore personal beliefs, decide whether they are accurate, and then adopt and practice new beliefs and behaviours.
