What Clients are saying: "Kathryn makes sessions seem like a casual comfortable conversation with a friend. I knew that she had a purpose in our conversation and didnt feel afraid to tell her anything. She doesnt just sit there and listen to me talk. She seems to know what Im trying to say. She takes psychotheraphy to a whole new level." "I found Kathryn interesting, information and encouraging at a time when I felt it difficult to express my feelings. Her charming manner made our sessions enjoyable, and helpful...I found it useful to take notes as there were so many great suggestions. I would recommend Kathryn to anyone that is apprehensive about discussing personal issues."

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.

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.

Psychotherapy is deep work that involves a willingness to access painful experiences and emotions so that they can be faced, talked about, and digested. In the beginning of therapy you might feel temporarily worse before you feel better. That’s because you’re allowing yourself to feel the pain you had to numb yourself to in the past in order to survive. But that’s not where we stop. As you release yourself from past hurts and integrate them into your personal narrative, they lose their grip on you. Ultimately, the therapeutic process can lead to new freedoms to be yourself, improve your relationships, and engage in the world in more fulfilling ways. You walk with a lighter step.

Psychotherapy can empower you to create lasting positive change. Creating a safe, compassionate space for your own inner journey is in itself often a meaningful contradiction to how we have been alone with our pain. Through my guidance and gentle support, you will begin to examine and move through the places of pain and confusion that trouble you. Your path toward personal growth and expansion will reveal new possibilities and ways to achieve a life of joy and the connection you want. Call me or email for a free 15 minute consultation.

In my practice as a psychotherapist I assist individuals to understand forces within that cause suffering & confusion. My approach is engaging, compassionate and expansive. I have over 25 years of experience with many types of people from different cultures & backgrounds. I believe most people have a mixture of complex emotions & complicated life experiences. But most everyone is trying to live a better life. People often have ‘scripts’ of who they are & why they came to be living the way they are. I help people develop ways of reflecting on what has been, what is, and what might be. This opens the possibilities for more choices in life. Your life can be different if you want it to be.

In transactional analysis psychotherapy client is expected to be an active participant at every stage of the process. You will be invited to set your goals for your therapy; thus it is helpful if you come with an idea of what you want to get out of therapy and I will help you to set realistic and achievable goals. A part of being an active participant in the therapy involves doing 'homework' in between the sessions, such as using relaxation techniques, writing down your thoughts about something or practicing new behaviours. Full engagement in therapy requires a high degree of honesty/transparency of thoughts and emotions. Often things we are most reluctant to discuss are the most important.

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.

Diving in to our selves and our unconscious minds can yield unexpected gifts. Sometimes individuals are called to do so because of problems in their lives or symptoms that cause them discomfort, and at other times for personal growth and self-innovation. Through guided self-exploration, you can heal and grow. You can experience increased life satisfaction, a greater sense of meaning and purpose, and a broadened awareness of your past and present choices so that you can improve the ones you make in the future.

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.

Psychotherapy is a fancy word for "talk therapy."
