About Hesed Counselling Services Inc.

It is natural for human beings to have problems, emotional and psychological pain. Instead of running away from life's difficulties, we must face them head on. Covering up our difficulties, pushing them away, pretending that there is no problem, only work for a time.

I believe that everyone has the potential for growth and change, and that therapy can help unlock that potential. I provide a safe and supportive environment where my clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgement.

In our sessions, you will be challenged to thoroughly explore and transform the way you see your life, even if this seems impossible right now. You don't need to know anything about psychotherapy for it to work for you and for you to make the changes you want.

At Hesed Counselling Services Inc., I believe in taking a positive approach to therapy, encouraging individuals to see the positives and work through their past. I use evidence-based techniques and work collaboratively with my clients to help you achieve your goals.  

As mentioned earlier I use evidence-based techniques while working collaboratively with you to help you achieve your goals. Look below at a few descriptions of these psychotherapy techniques. 

Positive Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the individual’s strengths, abilities and resources thus empowering them to overcome their own obstacles with hope and optimism.

Family Systems Therapy looks at the family as one emotional unit and the relationships within the family along with its structure.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is based on the idea that how we think (cognition), how we feel (emotion) and how we act (behaviour) all interact together. Specifically, our thoughts determine our feelings and our behaviour. Therefore, negative and unrealistic thoughts can cause us distress and result in problems.

Cognitive Processing Therapy focuses on helping people who are "stuck" in their thoughts about a trauma.

A few other models that aren’t described here but are also used in the practice of psychotherapy are Attachment Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Tree of Life Therapy.
