Discernment Counselling
If one spouse is not sure they want to stay married AND doubts that couples therapy can help, then Discernment Counselling is exactly where the couple belongs. The leaning-out partner is supported where they are emotionally, and the leaning-in spouse is equally supported in their own emotional state. Discernment Counselling avoids starting half-hearted couples therapy with these mixed-agenda couples. It accepts ambivalence rather than trying to work around it or overcome it.
Therapeutic Orientations
Below you will find blurbs about the theoretical approaches used in my sessions.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on unconscious processes as they are manifested in the client's present behavior. The goals of psychodynamic therapy are client self-awareness and understanding of the influence of the past on present behaviour.
Relational Therapy
Sarah focuses on how relationships impact on our mental and emotional wellbeing.
Somatic Attachment Therapy
*CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN TWO YEAR TRAINING PROGRAM*
Utilizing psychotherapy and the nervous system for reparation of early attachment injuries. This is done through a framework that weaves together: attachment theory, trauma studies, affect regulation, interpersonal neurobiology, interpersonal/relational psychoanalytic practice, somatic psychotherapy, and deepening connections to the sentient world.
