Individual Therapy

Anxiety, emotional trauma, and grief can keep you from living your best life. Individual therapy for adults, teens, and kids creates a safe space to acknowledge difficult feelings and learn how to meet your core needs. As you progress along the therapy journey, you will become more confident and assertive in managing relationship conflicts, trusting your instincts, and minimizing the impact from the outside world.

Relationship therapy to heal relationship injuries

Is your family, friends, or romantic partner knowingly or unknowingly causing you distress? Do you not feel emotionally safe with them anymore? Conflicts with loved ones can be painful as you have close contact with them frequently. Individual therapy can help explore the root cause of these challenging circumstances and process any unfinished issues with your loved one. You will learn to manage distressing thoughts and nurture your feelings.

Counselling for trauma 

You may be trying to get away from constantly thinking about painful incidents. Unresolved events from the past like childhood neglect, sexual abuse, domestic violence, and serious accidents can affect your current life in many unexpected ways. With individual therapy, you will learn to validate your pain, process the past, manage your triggers, and create a new narrative.

Individual therapy for grief and bereavement

The death of a loved one or pet can be devastating, and you may not know how to accept the loss and move forward. Losing a job can make you question your self-worth and leave you confused about what to do next. Grief is not a linear process and can be triggered by unexpected circumstances, even when you thought you had moved on. Bereavement counselling can help you process your grief by exploring feelings of loss and building coping skills to nurture yourself and strengthen your social support.

Life transitions can be managed

Although significant life changes like a new job, new home, or post-secondary education can be exciting, they can also make you overwhelmed and anxious. It is normal for you to grieve what you’re leaving behind by stepping into your new world that’s filled with uncertainty. Individual therapy will help to explore your feelings, build self-trust, and create a positive outlook for your future.

Take back control from anxiety

Are you socially isolating yourself because you’re scared that your friends and family will get to know the real you? Do you put off making decisions because you’re scared of what the future holds? Although anxiety may have protected you from certain situations in the past, it can be frustrating when anxiety starts hindering your day-to-day life.

Individual therapy will let you explore the source of your anxiety and process underlying feelings. You will also learn to use coping strategies to help with reflection, grounding, relaxation, and mindfulness.

Don’t let depression hold you back

Do you find yourself often feeling angry, sad, or irritated? Is getting out of bed becoming harder each day? Depressive feelings can make you feel like you’re being punished somehow.

Together we can work on understanding the impact of depression on your life. Overcoming depressive thoughts is exhausting and can necessitate persistent effort over time. With individual therapy, we will explore how to create daily habits like regular exercise, a healthy diet, and adequate sleep to help control the impact of depression.

Mood regulation through individual therapy

Mood swings can have you questioning your sanity. Your relationships and self-esteem may be adversely impacted. You may feel like you’re on an emotional rollercoaster with no control of your feelings. Individual Therapy will help you to tolerate more effectively distressing feelings and increase your awareness of what triggers your mood swings. You will also learn how to utilize mindfulness practices and coping strategies to manage your emotions better. 

How I can help with individual therapy

Living your life with fear, trauma, loss, or uncertainty can take a toll on your relationships and goals. If left unaddressed over a long period, they can have debilitating impacts that may take ages to reverse. Individual therapy can help you process your emotions and to help regain control of your life.
