Areas of Care
Self Esteem Enhancement
Regarded as one of the four basic psychological needs, self-esteem is a huge contributor to one’s overall well-being. Feelings of shame, self-doubt and inadequacy can prevent one from forming loving relationships with self and others. Therapy can help one identify, challenge and replace unhelpful thinking patterns with positive, empowering, and strengthening messages where self-compassion and loving-kindness are at the core.
Chronic Pain Management
Therapy can be instrumental in helping individuals with chronic pain cope and manage the overwhelming thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that often accompany chronic pain. Treatment plans are customised to meet the needs of each client, found to be just as effective as surgical treatments, and proven to alter how the brain processes pain sensations
Sports Performance Enhancement
Being your best self in life and sports involves more than intense physical practices and top physical fitness, but also a strong state of mind. Therapy can help identify perceptions and thoughts that directly affect sports performance and build a resilient, flexible, and growth mindset. Developing a growth mindset is crucial in overcoming mental blocks, enhancing concentration and focus, boosting self-confidence, as well as coping with negative self-talk or other negative emotions.
Parenting
Parental therapy offers a supportive space for parents/caregivers and children to explore expectations, understand each other’s needs and capacities, respond to presenting challenges, develop insight in overcoming such difficulties, and create a vision where everyone feels heard and accepted.
Grief and Loss Therapy
A natural response to the loss of someone or something, can be extremely challenging to manage alone. Grief & Loss therapy is an important process that focusses on helping one understand their emotional experience, gaining insight into the process of grief and stages grief, as well as learning what to expect when grieving, how to build new relationships, and develop a new sense of self after the loss.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Acknowledges that therapists and care teams must have a complete and comprehensive understanding of one’s life experiences and worldviews to provide effective health care. Trauma-informed care understands the multigenerational and widespread impact of trauma, recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma, integrates knowledge into individualized treatment and actively avoids re-traumatization. Adopting trauma-informed care contributes to enhanced client engagement, better treatment adherence and positive treatment outcomes.
Mood Disorders
Often characterized by persistent and intense emotions, mood disorders, are found to cause behavioural changes that often affect your ability to perform daily activities related to work and/or school. Each mood disorder has its own set of symptoms that often affect mood, sleep, eating behaviours, energy levels and thinking abilities. Therapy can be extremely helpful to aid in the often-complex treatment of mood disorders which usually involves the collaboration of other health professionals in the circle of care
Eating Disorders
Psychological therapy is the most important ingredient of an eating disorder treatment approach that often involves the collaboration of a variety of health care professionals. Therapy helps normalize the eating patterns to achieve a healthy weight, recognize and replace unhealthy eating behaviours, identify and monitor eating intake and moods, development of coping strategies to aid in daily living as well and improve sense of self and relationship to self and others.
Personality Disorders
These are a group of 10 mental health conditions that are characterized by significant and long-lasting disruptive thought patterns, moods, behaviours, and interpersonal difficulties. Each of the 10 types of personality disorders has a set of specific signs and symptoms, generally involving problems related to identity, sense of self and relationships. Therapy can help manage the symptoms and provide support to those affected and their families.
