Individual Therapy

for Adults and Adolescents

What Can I Expect From Therapy?

In individual counselling and individual therapy, we work with our clients to develop specific goals they want to achieve at the outset of therapy. By conducting in-depth assessment of our clients’ experience, we provide tailor-made treatments to meet their individual needs.

Our ultimate goal is to help our clients become their own therapist by teaching them adaptive coping and interaction skills.

We balance this change-based approach in therapy with an acceptance-approach by teaching our clients how to acknowledge what is factual in their lives. We believe that by doing so, clients will have a better chance of improving their quality of life, increasing a sense of mastery in managing difficult emotions, building a life worth living, and thriving at home, school, work place, and in their community.

The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change

To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself

Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward
