Clients often leave feeling more centered, more compassionate toward themselves, and more intentional in how they live, equipped to move through life with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

At Inner Tides Counselling, we use evidence-based approaches to psychotherapy. Our primary modality to psychotherapy is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, in which disturbing memories and experiences are reprocessed with bilateral stimulation (at your own comfortable pace). Inner Tides Counselling is also trained in CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy), both of which are other forms of evidence-based psychotherapies. No matter which modality is the best fit for you, Inner Tides Counselling's approach is always trauma-informed, person-centered and strengths-based.

The circumstances and issues that you are dealing with are unique to you, but you don't have to face them alone. Every individual has different experiences, perceptions, feelings, thoughts, beliefs, values, attitudes, cultural backgrounds and "upbringings". Counselling sessions are private and confidential, and can provide a way for you to explore your problems and really tune in to your feelings. This is an opportunity to speak freely about your circumstances and release pent up feelings, without having to worry about what others think or feel, and without receiving unwanted advise from family, friends or coworkers.

In psychotherapy, the foundation of our work is a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust and collaboration. You bring deep knowledge of yourself and your situation; I bring clinical skills and an outside perspective. Together, we create meaningful change.

This allows therapy to feel natural and responsive to your actual experience rather than following a rigid formula. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, low self-esteem, or feeling stuck, you'll find a collaborative partnership where you're genuinely heard as we work toward the changes you need in your life.

Depending on the issues clients present with during a session, sometimes counselling needs to go deeper into the underlying factors contributing to a mental illness diagnosis or relational distress. Psychotherapy is an approach to help clients get progress when previous attempts to address issues have not resulted in the therapeutic transaction a client is looking for in therapy. I work with clients to help them deepen their therapy process and work toward the change they are looking for to improve their life and personal confidence.
