Our approach
The approach used in any case is shaped by the client’s needs and goals, not by a single fixed method. We draw from several evidence-based therapeutic models, including:
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
- The Gottman Method
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Internal Family Systems (IFS)
- The Developmental Model of Couples Therapy
- Trauma-informed frameworks
Who we work with
We work with clients across all relationship structures, sexual orientations, and gender identities. This includes heterosexual or LGBTQ2S+ individuals and couples, people in polyamorous and non-monogamous relationships, and clients with concerns related to kink or alternative sexual practices. All clients are treated with the same care and professionalism.
What to expect
From the first contact to the final session, we aim to be straightforward, respectful, and helpful. Members of our team are happy to offer a free 10-minute consultation call before your initial intake session. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
