Types of Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an approach to psychotherapy that focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. CBT helps individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns and beliefs that contribute to emotional distress and maladaptive behaviours. Through collaborative exploration and structured exercises, clients learn to recognize and reframe irrational or unhelpful thoughts, replacing them with more balanced and adaptive ones. Behavioural techniques, such as exposure therapy and behavioural activation, are also employed to help clients gradually confront and overcome fears and avoidance behaviours. This approach emphasizes the active role of the client in their own therapy and empowers them to develop effective coping strategies for navigating life’s challenges.

EMDR is a form of psychotherapy aimed at reducing the stress often associated with traumatic life events. The individual will focus on the memory of the traumatic event while engaging in a series of different eye movements. Rather than focusing on the emotions and thoughts of past events, EMDR therapy focuses directly on the memory, with the goal of changing the way that the memory is stored in the brain in order to reduce and eliminate the problematic symptoms.

The Gottman Method is a research-based approach to couples therapy that focuses on strengthening relationships by improving communication, managing conflict, and building deeper emotional connection. It uses practical tools and proven techniques to help partners understand each other better and create a more stable, supportive relationship.

Emotionally Focused Therapy is a form of therapy that aims to help distressed couples stop the negative cycles they are stuck in (criticism, anger, withdrawal, silence, etc.) and therefore help their partners have a higher level of understanding, empathy and compassion by addressing the emotions and interactions. The main goal is to create secure emotional bonds in our relationships by understanding our attachment style.
