Online Therapy
I have always worked online, even before the pandemic. Online therapy is as effective as as working in-person and now the majority of the clients prefer working this way.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
CBT is the most commonly used psychotherapy approach because it is evidence-based, short-term and solution-focused. If you would like to see improvement in a short amount of time, it might be the right fit.
Schema Therapy
Schema therapy is a transformative approach focusing on creating change for a wide range of issues. It is a warm, compassionate, creative approach that can help with many issues and creating a life transformation.
