If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

I enjoy working with clients who appreciate that in getting to their best selves and quality of life must look at their whole health. Life is hard and all the more challenging when we aren't taking great care of ourselves physically, emotionally, nutritionally, financially, spiritually or mentally. Learning how to DO things differently matters given that just wanting and talking about change simply isn't enough. Helping clients understand and heal in their relationships past and present is key to building a solid foundation that supports better overall health and quality of life.

My therapeutic approach is informed by the philosophies of Humanistic, Analytical and Existential Psychology, which takes a holistic and expansive view on human experience with a primary emphasis on deepening understanding of oneself, increasing self insight, enhancing personal autonomy as well as the ability to create meaning and find purpose in life.
The goal of psychotherapy is similar to the goal of life, which is to live the best life possible. But life is full of change and challenges, some of which we embrace and even pursue full heartedly, some of which we are initially shocked by but are able to manage with minimal disruption to our lives. At other times such experiences can be disorienting, leaving us feeling lost, confused, hopeless, and at times unable to move forward. If you are feeling stuck in any facet of your life, psychotherapy can be a valuable means of re-orienting yourself.

Humanistic Counsellors

How does humanistic therapy work?

One tenet of humanistic therapy is that people are good. The humanistic approach is concerned with a person’s ability to accept oneself. It likewise encourages a person to overcome self-criticism and self-defeating tendencies, as well as disapproval from others. This approach also emphasizes self-actualisation and treating an individual as a whole person. A foundation of this therapy type: The patient is the expert in their life, and treatment often takes the individual’s lead.

Is humanistic therapy evidence-based?

Humanistic therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has found that humanistic therapy can lead to significant improvement, and for some people it can be just as effective as other therapies, such as Cognitive behavioural therapy. The benefits of humanistic therapy are enduring.

How long does humanistic therapy last?

The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more. And because patients learn the theory behind humanistic therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.

Is humanistic therapy effective?

According to research, many patients find success with humanistic therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in addressing poor self-esteem and self-sabotage, as well as improving conditions including anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can be long standing, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve learned during treatment.
