At CalmCare Therapy, I offer a safe and compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and challenges. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, or life transitions, my goal is to support you in understanding yourself better and finding the strength to move forward.
Through a tailored, person-centred approach, we will help you develop healthier coping strategies and gain insight into what's holding you back. You don't have to face it alone—let's take the first step toward healing and growth together.
Psychotherapy is a form of treatment that involves talking with a trained therapist who will support you in addressing emotional, psychological or behavioural difficulties you might be experiencing. The therapist provides a safe, supportive and non judgmental environment to explore feelings, thoughts and experiences that can help the client understand what is going on for them and to resolve those personal difficulties over time. Psychotherapy can help with a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, and more. The goal is to foster personal growth, emotional healing, and a better understanding of oneself, ultimately leading to improved mental health and well-being.

Main Approaches of Psychotherapy
Here are some examples of various forms of psychotherapy that can help in understanding and enriching each client’s life.
Person-Centered Psychotherapy
The person-centred approach to therapy focuses on principles that guide therapists in understanding clients' experiences from their own perspective rather than interpreting unconscious motivations. This approach is based on the belief in each client's natural potential for growth and change. Person-centred therapists provide support, guidance, and structure, empowering clients to find their solutions to personal challenges. Through this supportive process, clients gain insight into obstacles hindering their progress and build resources to navigate future challenges more effectively.
Psychodynamic
The goal of psychodynamic psychotherapy is to help clients understand how past experiences shape their current emotions and behaviors. Our life experiences, especially early ones, influence our perceptions of reality and our expectations of others. By exploring unresolved conflicts from past relationships and experiences, psychodynamic therapy aims to uncover how these lingering issues may be impacting a client’s emotional wellbeing today, fostering insight and supporting personal growth.
Integrative Bodywork
Integrative bodywork is an approach that views the body as a crucial part of the therapeutic process, just as vital as the mind. It acknowledges that the body, like our thoughts and emotions, provides valuable insights, especially when addressing issues like anxiety, panic attacks, trauma, PTSD, depression, and intimacy. By including the body’s responses in therapy, clients can gain a deeper understanding and work toward healing more holistically.
