            Therapy Approaches


            Emotionally Focused Therapy facilitates the awareness and understanding of couples' emotional needs and to help couples in building secure intimate relationship.


            Cognitive Behavioural Therapy addresses how our beliefs and thoughts affect our behaviours and emotions. The focus is to first identify our negative automatic thoughts that contribute to our problems, and then to replace them with rational positive self talk.


            Emotion Focused Therapy helps us to increase the awareness and understanding of our true emotions.  Instead of avoiding or suppressing them, we learn to experience them and to listen to their guidance in making choices and taking action in life.


            Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) is an information processing therapy that is commonly used to deal with post-traumatic stress disorder or impacts of a trauma, e.g., emotional difficulties after an auto accident.
