Motivational Therapy
Motivational Enhancement Therapy, or MET, is a short-term treatment that is designed to support clients to recognize and build on personal strengths to help change unwanted behaviours and/or build new positive ones. It is an adaptation of Motivational Interviewing. You will work to establish goals and encourage self-motivation to change, while learning about your strengths, risks and challenges.
Interpersonal Therapy
Interpersonal therapy focuses on relationships rather than the psychology of individual clients who are being treated. The focus on how the client interacts with other people assists individuals to re-connect with others in healthy relationships. This therapy is generally appropriate when accompanied by other more proactive therapies such as CBT and family therapy.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Cognitive behavioural therapy is generally short-term and focused on helping clients deal with a very specific problem such as stress, compulsive or addictive behaviours, depression and anxiety. During the course of treatment, you will learn how to identify and change destructive or disturbing thought patterns that have a negative influence on your behaviour.

coaching environs we are able to to acces empirically validated changes to how we function in the world both intellectually, emotionally and physically. Learning both formal mindfulness meditation techniques and informal mindful philosophies have been shown consistently to create powerful change.
