General Therapy
“Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn't you – all of the expectations, all of the beliefs – and becoming who you are.”
— Rachel Naomi Remen
Therapy, in its essence, is a collaborative journey of self-discovery and healing. As an integrative therapist, I believe in embracing the richness of various therapeutic approaches to meet your unique needs and goals. In our sessions, you can expect a warm and compassionate atmosphere, where you're free to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe and non-judgmental space.
One of the key principles of general therapy is that it's client-led. This means that you are the expert of your own life, and our work together revolves around empowering you to tap into your inner wisdom and resources. While I may offer insights and perspectives, the direction and pace of our sessions are guided by your comfort level and readiness for exploration.
Expect our conversations to be open and honest. I'll listen deeply to your concerns, offering empathy and understanding as we delve into the underlying issues that may be causing distress or holding you back. Together, we'll unravel the threads of your experiences, examining patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that may be contributing to your current struggles.
In our therapeutic journey, I may draw from a variety of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), Transactional Analysis (TA), psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness-based practices as well as others. Each session is tailored to your unique needs and preferences, with the aim of equipping you with practical tools and insights that foster growth and resilience.
While our therapeutic relationship is grounded in kindness and compassion, I also believe in the power of gentle challenge. At times, I may encourage you to explore uncomfortable emotions or confront limiting beliefs, always with the intention of supporting your growth and facilitating positive change.
Above all, remember that therapy is a process – a journey of self-discovery and transformation that unfolds over time. As we navigate this path together, know that you're not alone. I'm here to accompany you every step of the way, offering guidance, support, and encouragement as you cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself and move toward a more fulfilling life.
