Our approach
We want to see your favourite cat videos and sci-fi memes, and to hear all about your current SPINs.
​
We're passionate about self-care and self-compassion, and will actively role model this for you.​
​
We spend a significant amount of time exploring what you think good therapy looks and feels like, and what you want from therapy. We believe (and will actively role model) in striving to have authentic and rich connections with people who understand and accept you the way you are- quirks and all.
Tools used
In therapy sessions, we are led by you and your goals. When able to, we work intuitively to interweave a myriad of tools including these approaches:
