At Edenhope, we tailor our counselling and psychotherapy services to suit your individual needs, experiences and therapy goals with the aim of fostering emotional safety, cultivating resilience and empowering self-directed growth.
We believe that given the right conditions, we all have the capacity for our inner knowing to emerge and guide change. Thus our imperative as therapists is to hear without judgement, to listen with empathy and to resource without imposing direction.
As we are all unique beings, how we approach therapy depends on each individual client and the style of therapeutic approach that resonates best with you. We may utilise some of the more well known evidence based therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), and we may also incorporate others such as Gestalt Therapy, Focusing Oriented Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Emotional Focussed Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and more.
