People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons. Perhaps you are experiencing a major life transition and you need some support as you navigate this journey. Or perhaps you are seeking to understand yourself better by exploring your thoughts, feelings and patterns of behaviour and discover how the experiences of your past is impacting you today.
Or perhaps you are experiencing a loss of direction in your life and want to regain your purpose and focus. Sometimes people come to therapy because they are looking to improve their relationships with others. And sometimes people just want someone to talk to and receive support from someone who is not a friend or family member. You are not alone. I am here for you and I will do my best to help you achieve your goals.
Dionne is experienced in delivering evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and she uses concepts and strategies that come from other evidence based approaches, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT); Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT); Mindfulness and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT).
The benefits of therapy can be numerous. They include an improvement to your overall psychological wellbeing and daily functioning; an improvement in your self-esteem and confidence; improved physical health and improved relationships with others. By coming to therapy, you also get an opportunity to break the cycle of inter-generational dysfunction that sometimes occur in families.
