Making Change is Hard…

“Changing habits is the hardest thing to do in life. The problem is – everything is a habit.”

Life rarely looks like we want it. But changing ourselves is tricky. We usually know something needs to shift. But what, and how? If we could see it easily ourselves, we already would be doing it. We all have some blinders, some things that are hard to see subjectively. Psychotherapy – good psychotherapy – is not just someone listening to your problems. It is a blend of evidence-based solution techniques, provided in a space of deep caring and an open mind.

It is about getting into your heart and soul and deciphering old lessons, making sense of repeated patterns in order to learn, dissolving the tangled knots at the root of our thinking that limit us from experiencing life to the fullest, and creating new skills that are aligned with our goals and values.

At its most basic, this is about helping us all suffer less, and enjoy life more. I believe we all deserve that. No matter what.

Internal Family Systems

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy views the mind as a system of parts, each with roles like protectors, exiles, or firefighters. Guided by the Self, IFS helps you understand and heal these parts, fostering balance, clarity, and lasting change.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people build psychological flexibility through acceptance, mindfulness, values, and committed action. By addressing thoughts and feelings without avoidance, ACT fosters resilience, meaning, and lasting change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a research-backed approach that links thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. By identifying and reframing unhelpful patterns, CBT helps treat depression, anxiety, addiction, and other challenges with lasting results.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment with openness and non-judgment. Backed by research, it reduces stress, improves emotional regulation, and helps shift from automatic habits to greater clarity and choice.

EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a research-backed therapy that helps the brain reprocess trauma and painful memories. Using bilateral stimulation, EMDR reduces distress, heals attachment wounds, and fosters lasting emotional change.
