Find a Therapist in Wellington, Alberta.

Psychotherapy is your opportunity to go within and learn more about yourself. Who are you? What do you want? How does this fit with what you experience today? What are your beliefs? Who are your supports? What do you long for? With your therapist you will look at what is working for you, and how to use the challenges in your current situation to your own benefit as well as to support those around you. When our feelings, thoughts and behaviours are not "in sync" we experience stress and anxiety. Awareness of the disconnect is a first step toward feeling more integrated and in touch with ourselves. This in turn brings out your own strengths and your gift to others.

Some people have experienced so much in their life that they need longer term therapy to process it all in a smooth way. It might seem like a mountain to overcome. Like an impossible feat. Realize that it is not the destination that will save you, but the direction you choose to move forward with. Let's find that healthy direction and make things better in your life one step at a time.

Psychotherapy usually means longer more in depth treatment of issues. There is a an understanding that there is value in seeing a therapist on a regular basis as it give time for trust to develop and also allows the client the time to explore more deeply. It is also a recognition that somethings take longer to treat. One can meet weekly or bi-weekly or however frequently is appropriate. The practice of psychotherapy takes more skill and experience and usually means the therapist has had their own psychotherapy.

Psychotherapy focuses on your relationship with yourself. Our most common problems have to do with inner conflict and with being unconscious of what is happening within ourselves. Through psychotherapy you will become aware of how the inner self signals the presence of these problems. Being aware of what is happening within us gives us the basis for making effective choices, relating in genuine ways to others and making positive and powerful choices in our daily lives.

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. The therapeutic relationship established is the context where psychological change is possible. Psychotherapy is appropriate for both long-tern and short-term healing.

My approach to psychotherapy is based in the relationship that I develop with my clients. This means that I attune to feelings, practice authenticity and hold healthy and clear boundaries so that we can discover together the depth of pain you have been carrying. Once we can talk about it the answers start to flow a little at a time but soon hope begins to build and you will find that problems seem more manageable. All feelings are welcome in psychotherapy and learning to use our feelings helps us have better intuition and thus navigate our lives and relationships with more efficacy.

Psychotherapy also known to some as personal counselling, is an intended interpersonal relationship between a trained psychotherapist and their client. Psychotherapy is a talking therapy that aims and works at increasing the individual's sense of self-awareness. A psychotherapist may use a wide range of techniques geared to relationship building, exchange of ideas, communication and behaviour change with a view to improve the well-being of a client or improving group relationships (such as in family, friends, or even co-workers). At Loussa Counselling Centre we take a holistic approach to achieve individual wellness of the mind, body, and soul. Our approach is progressive, pure and natural.

Psychotherapy is a broad term that includes any kind of counselling support that helps alleviate mental and emotional distress. I am a registered psychologist, and I offer a compassionate and practical approach to counselling. When you come for counselling, I am there to listen to you and support you. You set your goals, and I help you find ways to achieve them. Depending on the individual and the issue, this can be short-term or long-term counselling support. Psychotherapy is an opportunity to increase self-awareness and personal skill-sets that can help you for life.

Psychotherapy can help when an individual feels life is awfully difficult. Moreover, psychotherapy can also make a straight life even better . Psychotherapy is suggested whenever a person is grappling with problems in life for example relationship issues, anxiety, anger or other mental health concerns, and these issues are creating the individual lots of hurt or upset for longer than a week. There may be exceptions to this common rule, but for the most of the cases, there is no harm in going into psychotherapy even if someone is not entirely confident that it would benefit from the counseling.

Each one of us experiences inner conflict, sense of helplessness, sadness and anxiety. Psychotherapy helps us reach within ourselves to better understand not only our experiences but our very selves. Self-reflection is the starting point toward the personal growth and development that helps us deal with intense feelings and troubling thoughts in a way that expresses who we wish to become as a person, our hopes and our values.

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.

I describe Psychotherapy as the process of examining and addressing the underlying causes of the problem. For example, someone with anxiety symptoms may find medications helpful, but they may be unaware of their beliefs that promote their anxiety. Psychotherapy is about addressing the presenting symptoms as well as the underlying issues. This process may include the examination of thoughts and beliefs, family of origin work, and repetitive patterns. Not all of my clients are interested in doing this deeper work, and I respect that. However, examining our problematic symptoms at a deeper level can provide a rich foundation for long lasting change.
