About Therapy
Taking the first step is not always easy...
Therapy is also known as counselling, or psychotherapy, and is a collaborative process where individuals work with trained professionals to explore their thoughts, feelings and behaviours in a safe, supportive environment. The goal of therapy is to help individuals understand themselves better, navigate challenges, and foster personal growth and healing.
​
Therapy can address a wide range of concerns, include mental health issues like anxiety and depression, relationship issues, trauma, grief, and life transitions. It provides a space to process emotions, develop coping strategies, and build resilience.
Many issues you struggle with may stem from loss, a loss can and does cause a fluctuation of emotions that feel impossible to manage and like they are encompassing all of you and all of your life. Loss can derive from a multitude of experiences, such as:
​
Loss of relationship or loved one
Infertility
Loss of trust
Loss of control
Loss of health, ability, independence
Loss of job, career, income, status, responsibility, position.
Loss of a dream
Trapped potential.
Loss of identity
Fear has the potential to limit and to lessen the ability to participate fully in one’s
life. If fear is left unchecked, the resulting dependency can result in irrationality and the
loss of autonomy. Fear can also cause the loss of relationships and connections through
the isolation that fear-based decisions often create.
