Our Approach
Discover how our unique Existence approach creates pathways to healing and authentic self-discovery.
Narrative Therapy
Narrative therapy helps clients identify and unpack the stories they carry, enabling them to recognize their values and skills while confronting current and future challenges. By emphasizing the narratives individuals tell about their lives, this approach fosters empowerment and healing through new perspectives and a strengthened sense of identity.
Attachment-based Emotion Focused (EFT)
This approach helps clients process, express, and make sense of their emotions, enabling them to overcome negative self-beliefs and achieve a more balanced self-view. By exploring how childhood experiences shape adult relationships, attachment-based emotion-focused therapy fosters emotional awareness and regulation, promoting healthier attachment patterns and deeper connections with others.
Somatic Therapy
Somatic therapy is an integrative approach that focuses on the connection between the mind and body, helping individuals process trauma through awareness of physical sensations and bodily experiences. It specifically addresses nervous system regulation, facilitating the release of stored tension and emotions to promote healing and restore a sense of safety and well-being.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic therapy explores the unconscious processes and early life experiences that shape an individual's thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. By bringing awareness to these underlying issues, this approach aims to help clients gain insight and resolve inner conflicts, ultimately promoting emotional healing and personal growth.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
This holistic approach helps clients understand how thoughts influence feelings and behaviours, enabling them to challenge cognitive distortions and problematic patterns. By learning practical tools and coping skills, clients can disrupt cycles that maintain their issues and develop healthier thinking styles to address a range of psychological challenges.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
This approach encourages clients to self-monitor and regulate their emotions through nonjudgmental acceptance and mindfulness, helping them identify triggers and cultivate balanced thoughts. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) combines these techniques with cognitive-behavioural strategies to manage intense emotions and enhance interpersonal effectiveness, emphasizing skills like distress tolerance and emotional regulation.
Trauma Informed
Trauma-informed therapy acknowledges the profound impact of trauma on individuals and prioritizes safety, empowerment, and healing within the therapeutic relationship. By creating a supportive environment, this approach helps clients explore the effects of trauma on their mental, emotional, and physical well-being, equipping them with skills to process emotions and develop healthy coping strategies.
Strengths Based
The strengths-based approach emphasizes identifying and incorporating clients' inherent strengths into the treatment plan to foster meaningful, long-lasting change. By empowering clients to take an active role in their therapy, this method shifts the focus from problems to resilience and positive attributes, facilitating growth and effective problem-solving.
Client Centered Therapy
In client-centered therapy, the counselor and client maintain an equal standing, with the therapist providing knowledge and resources without offering direct advice or solutions. This non-directive approach empowers clients to be the experts of their own lives, fostering self-discovery and meaningful change by relying on their own strengths to achieve personal growth.
Solution Focused (SFBT)
SFBT emphasizes finding solutions in the present and focuses on clients' strengths and resources to achieve their goals. By encouraging clients to envision a preferred future and identify steps to get there, this approach promotes quick, meaningful change without delving deeply into past problems.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT combines mindfulness and behavioral techniques to help clients accept their thoughts and feelings rather than trying to change them. By fostering psychological flexibility and encouraging values-based actions, this approach empowers individuals to live a meaningful life in alignment with their core values.
