Types of Therapy
Not sure what kind of therapy is right for you? Here's a quick, friendly guide to the most common approaches.
Talk Therapy / Psychotherapy
The most common form of therapy — you and a therapist have regular conversations about what's going on in your life. It's a safe, private space to work through feelings, patterns, and challenges at your own pace. No couch required.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you notice unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with healthier ones. It's practical, structured, and backed by decades of research — especially effective for anxiety, depression, and stress.
Couples Counselling
Whether you're navigating conflict, communication breakdowns, or just feeling disconnected, couples counselling gives you tools to understand each other better and strengthen your relationship.
Family Therapy
Family therapy brings family members together to work through conflicts, improve communication, and build healthier dynamics. It's especially helpful during major transitions or when one person's struggles affect the whole family.
EMDR / Trauma Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps your brain process traumatic memories so they lose their emotional charge. It's a well-researched approach for PTSD, anxiety, and unresolved trauma.
Art & Creative Therapy
Creative therapies use art, music, drama, or movement as tools for expression and healing. You don't need to be artistic — it's about the process, not the product. Great for people who find it hard to put feelings into words.
