Approach
Counselling therapy can be sought for many reasons. To increase well-being, to decrease discomfort, to manage a crisis, or even to clarify which of these is most pressing.
We currently provide e-counselling services including telephone, video, and text therapy.
Our philosophy is that:
everyone has a unique perspective that makes them the experts on their own lives.
people come to therapy with the ability to help themselves.
We use an integrative approach, drawing on many disciplines and traditions of therapy and using the most applicable techniques from each. We place particular emphasis on person-centered approaches.
We use many theoretical lenses, including those of attachment theory, social justice, trauma, and the neuroscience of psychotherapy.
The above means that we work to be a Queer-friendly practice and commit to resisting overly restrictive views of identity, relationships, and family.
Verdant
Whether we are seeking insights or actions, seeking help with our thoughts, behaviours or feelings, we believe that change is constant and it can be for the better.
