Become the expert of your life.
You are the only person who has lived in your skin and seen the world through your eyes. Together we pool our resources, guiding you as you find your way, empowering you to shape your reality and determine your future.
​
Rather than fit clients into treatment models, we tailor our therapeutic treatment approaches to specifically meet your needs. We empower you to find the strengths and resources that lie within you, and develop upon them to live the life you want to live and build the future you want to build.
We are client-centred so that means we empower you to sit in the driver’s seat. Sitting next to you, we help you to become aware of what’s happening on your road. It’s like turning on the lights on a dark and windy road. We give you the clarity you need to help you drive towards your dreams. It’s a collaborative relationship where we adjust our approaches until your road is completely lit.
F I R S T Â L I G H T
We start by helping you understand why you are where you are right now. We give you tools to assess your situation and make sense of it.
D A Y Â B R E A K
We then discover the strengths, skills, resources and dreams within you. Not only that, we'll develop tools and strategies to get you there.
T O M O R R O W
Once we've given you the tools, we support you by walking with you into your tomorrow as you find your new way.
Some of the therapeutic models we may use include, but are not limited to: narrative therapy, interpersonal therapy, strengths approach, CBT, schema therapy, trauma-informed practice, emotion focused therapy, mindfulness.
