Counselling Services

Talk Therapy

At Lakeland Counselling Services, I offer individual counselling to provide one-on-one support tailored to your specific needs and challenges. My approach is client-centered integrated with psychodynamic, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), and narrative therapy approaches.  I believe we can look into your past experiences to identify patterns that are no longer serving you in the present moment.  Once identified, we can work on adaptive strategies to break you free from the root causes of your issues, and move you towards healing.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy

EMDR is an evidenced based treatment that helps relieve distress associated with trauma and PTSD.  EMDR utilizes eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation (BLS) to activate your problem solving network in the brain.    BLS is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories.  Read more about EMDR therapy from EMDRIA:
