People come to counselling not because they don't have answers to their problems, people usually know what they should do, but they can't seem to do them. My role as your pschotherapist is less about telling you what to do (which is actually the easier part), I am here to help you clear away some of the junks that stop you from seeing and "doing" the answers. After that, I will help you reach your goal step by step.

In life, we go through experiences that are very hard to talk about. We may not fully understand what happened to us or how to deal with it, or even express it. Therapy is a place to sort it out. It’s a space to increase understanding and grow skills and strength. It’s also an opportunity to make a connection to another human being and, through it, begin healing from the wounds that life has given us. I would like to be here for you on this inner journey and support you as you recover. I have dedicated my life to my own journey and helping others as well over the past 16 years. I encourage you to reach out and unburden yourself by sharing your story with someone who understands.

A psychodynamic approach to counselling focuses on patterns of relationship, often helpful in understanding how early experiences might be affecting you in the present. Especially helpful for untangling ‘baggage’ which may be holding you back in your current relationships and attitudes to others. Understanding how your current attitudes and ways of interacting with others are caught up in old hurts can free you to choose more constructive ways forward.

Psychotherapy has been found to be an effective form of aiding in your health & well-being. My goal is to help you to optimize your overall health as mental/emotional/spiritual wellness plays a key role in your physical well-being. I believe that the difficulties and challenges that you are struggling with are a normal and understandable reaction to damaging circumstances that you have been through. With my guidance and support I encourage you to explore these areas in your life that have been influenced and tap into your unique and innocent talents and strengths to work to overcome the harmful effects of those circumstances. I draw on a variety of approaches to meet your unique needs.

Most people consider psychotherapy because they are in crisis and seek an intervention that will improve their lives. The issue may involve work or the recognition of recurring, destructive themes that prevent them from living out their dreams. I use a framework called Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, originating from Diana Fosha. It uses a model of attachment to establish a clear, supportive relationship that helps people feel safe enough to explore deeper issues and to know that they are not alone. I aim to help them reach inside themselves to deal with painful feelings, make way for the resilience and wisdom that reside in each of us and find the transformation we seek.

I use several research-based theories for individual counseling CBT, DBT & ACT. These theories provide practical skills that can help you gain a better understanding of yourself. By reframing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we can reduce emotional suffering. In my work as a mental health nurse, I have had the privilege of working with many people struggling with difficult situations and trauma. My approach is to be present, empathetic, and to understand the clients’ prospective. Relationships take hard work and commitment. Giving each person a place to voice their side of the story and be heard by their partner can often iron out the wrinkles in a relationship & help couples reconnect.

The associates at New Leaf Psychology Centre represent a broad range of experiences and expertise. Psychotherapy is offered for clients across the lifespan. Treatment approaches taken are evidence based yet personalized to you. Psychotherapy can be helpful for self-exploration (e.g. identity, anger, procrastination, career options), coping with life stressors (e.g. work, family, children, school, separation, grief), reducing worries, and improving mood.

My psychotherapy approach is one that can empower you to ultimately tell a new story about your presenting challenges. Asking the right questions (socratic questions) can capture the excitement of true discovery and as a result, the client is more active and engaged in their therapeutic journey. Most importantly, my person-centred psychotherapy style teaches clients a process of effectively evaluating their feelings, thoughts, behaviours, moods, life circumstances and physiological reactions to make choices that are more adaptive.

I primarily use Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) to support individuals, couples and families to get the supportive relationships they need to be safe, secure and grow in life. EFT is designed to provide opportunities to express vulnerable emotions to loved ones so that one can be clearly understood and valued by the most important people in your life. Even in individual therapy, there are powerful techniques used to safely access unacknowledged (often painful) emotions in connection to oneself and others. EFT is based on our knowledge of the importance of close bonds with others and has over 20 years of research that verifies its success. Call me for a confidential consult.

Hello my Eunice, I am a Registered Psychotherapist with 12 years of experience helping clients deal with challenges in life.

The modalities I use are: CBT, DBT, EFT, IFS, Gestalt, Mindfulness and Somatic healing.

In my practice, I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment in which my clients can work toward their goals. I employ evidence-based methods, meaning that I integrate current research findings with my clinical expertise to determine the most effective course of therapy. While my theoretical orientation is largely cognitive-behavioral (CBT), I also draw on solution-focused, experiential, and humanistic approaches.

The ebbs and flows of life are part of the human experience. Cultivating a meaningful life through them can sometimes be a challenge for all of us.

I work collaboratively with my clients to reach their therapeutic goals within an empathetic and supportive dynamic. Whether your goals are for you as an individual or as part of a couple, psychotherapy provides the opportunity for personal growth and empowerment to experience the life you desire.

My approach to therapy produces powerful results and allows the individual to heal at a profound and deep level. By encouraging clients to be authentic, conscious and aware I provide fundamentals that support spiritual growth. Healing takes place when we address both our dark and our light sides. Building self-esteem and a healthy ego, establishing boundaries and getting our needs met are very important. I use 2 main modalities Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. Psychotherapy is my passion and having said that I have always known people to feel exceptionally comfortable to share their life’s journey with me.

Psychotherapy is the essence of my practice. Using the modalities of psychotherapy, I aim to help individuals, families and couples live a more content life, making changes to their lives that help them live more content and productive lives. Psychotherapy can help you understand yourself, your behaviour, and your relationships better, enabling you to live your life aware of your strengths, blindspots and goals and how to achieve them.

All therapy involves some degree of psychotherapy. We will treat mental health issues through verbal interactions and communications in the therapy process. We can identify cognitive distortions and work on restructuring them. Discussing issues and getting an objective viewpoint can be illuminating. By talking about your struggles I can help guide you into a better frame of mind and choose healthier actions.

Therapy can provide a safe emotional space in which your experiences can be explored with the support of a therapist. Throughout my work with clients, I bring an authentic, compassionate, and curious presence and strive to help clients access their own inherent wisdom, strength, and resilience. I work with individuals, couples and families. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit for therapy.

I am a transformative and depth psychotherapist. This means that I look beyond the symptoms in order to assist my clients in discovering a more meaningful and fulfilling way to cope with life's inevitable dips and conflicts. It does little long lasting good to treat only the consequences of deeply ensconced processes that we have little knowledge of. While working with me, my clients and I go to where the root cause of their issues reside and gently and safely observe them and understand them with the ultimate goal of gaining control over them.

Our goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours and support you through any challenges you may have.

The Reflection Centre provides a safe, compassionate, supportive environment with while building a positive, nonjudgmental therapeutic alliance with our clients, allowing them to find strength, grow and learn new coping skills/solutions.

While I offer many coping strategies for life challenges, it is my passion to help you discover the cause of your anxiety, depression, grief, anger, conflict in relationships. Exploring your past trauma experiences, childhood history and family of origin, you may understand who you are and your responses in a new way. Listening, listing new options and action steps to think and feel differently are part of this counselling process.

I embrace uniqueness and everyone's experiences ARE unique, they're ours. I approach each client with uniqueness and authenticity. I like to apply psychodynamic counselling and empowerment strategies to aid in better understanding our experiences and feelings while striving to build our voices and assert ourselves in the present and the future.
