What we’re about.

Life can sometimes derail us and leave us feeling disconnected from who we truly are and how we want to live. At Verity Counselling we believe each person is inherently wired to heal and experience transformation. We seek to journey with people as they reconnect with their true self—and from this place—rediscover how to live in a state of well-being and connectedness.

Healing and change happen through cultivating safe and secure relationships within yourself and a trustworthy other. It is when you feel accompanied and no longer alone that therapist and client can begin to curiously explore what is happening under the surface and work with what may be blocking or keeping you stuck. In becoming compassionately aware about the inner experience that is unfolding you can begin to undo old patterns of being and relating and learn new and meaningful ways of being in the world.

Our therapists draw from therapeutic modalities that are rooted in these principles and grounded in the latest empirical research in attachment, trauma, affective neuroscience, embodiment and healing. These therapies include, Emotion Focused Therapy for individuals and couples (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Lifespan Integration (LI), Observed Experiential Integration (OEI), Somatic Experiencing, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-based approaches. As professional practitioners, we are passionate and committed to growth and training in ongoing research and treatment development.
