Therapeutic Services
Interventions are predominantly drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Mindfulness-integrated Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (MiCBT) frameworks. Principles from Interpersonal Neurobiology, in addition to having an in-depth understanding of early development and attachment needs are also important elements that your psychologist is aware of when working with you. All interventions are trauma-informed.

Most importantly, at the forefront of your psychologists' work is appreciating and honouring the essence that we are all human beings that can't be reduced to anything less of all that we are.
