Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)

Many clients struggling with perfectionism and low self-esteem experience a lack of motivation due to fear of failure or overwhelm. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is a highly effective, evidence-based approach focused on connecting the dots between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. You can learn to identify and challenge the negative thought patterns and self criticism that contribute to these issues, empowering you to develop healthier ways of coping and responding to life’s challenges. You may learn to challenge the belief that you need to be perfect to be valued, helping you develop a healthier approach to mistakes and self-acceptance. We can explore your strengths and abilities to address concerns of self worth, expectations, emotional regulation, motivation, and breaking down overwhelming tasks into manageable steps. You spend all day in your brain, lets make it a comfortable place to exist.

Dialectic Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

Dialectic behaviour therapy is a form of CBT in which we work through managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and skills training for stress management. These skills focus on mindfulness (staying present in the moment), distress tolerance (managing and de-escalating crises), emotional regulation (understanding and reducing emotional intensity), and interpersonal effectiveness (building stronger relationships with healthy boundaries). In therapy we can break down tasks into achievable steps, set realistic goals, and explore the emotional drivers behind procrastination. We utilize CBT techniques to challenge negative thoughts about your abilities and DBT skills to manage the discomfort that may arise when taking action.

Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT)

Emotion Focused Therapy can help you gain better recognition and understanding of your emotions, and heal the emotional patterns that have shaped and influenced the way you see yourself and relate to others. By focusing on core emotions and attachment needs, we can work towards creating a deeper sense of self-knowing and self-acceptance, allowing you to experience more authentic connections. Our work together can help uncover the emotional roots of self criticism and the fear of failure, offering a compassionate space to build self-worth from within. You can learn to respond to yourself and others with empathy, clarity, and confidence, building a long lasting secure foundation for emotional well-being.

In my work I emphasize the importance of self compassion; encouraging you to accept yourself as you are while striving for meaningful change. Ultimately, the goal of therapy is to help you cultivate a balanced sense of self-worth, improve your emotional regulation, develop healthier interpersonal dynamics, and increase your motivation and capacity to take action toward your goals. By addressing the root causes of these struggles, we can work toward lasting transformation and a more fulfilling life.
