Core Values

  • Accessibility

    We value the co-creation of an inclusive space that minimizes barriers and maximizes meaningful participation of all. This means tailoring our therapy practices to meet your diverse needs and using clear and straightforward communication that is also warm and compassionate.

  • Accountability

    We are committed to honesty, transparency, and building trust within the therapeutic relationship and the larger community. We also encourage clients to take ownership of their healing journey by setting personal goals, confronting challenges, and celebrating progress.

  • Anti-Oppressive

    Actively working towards recognizing and dismantling systemic barriers that affect the wellbeing of marginalized communities, we are committed to depathologizing mental health and neurodivergence by examining the impacts of the environment on individual wellbeing and behaviour.

  • Client As the Expert

    While therapists provide guidance and support, clients are in the driver's seat. Clients possess unique insights into their own lives, experiences, and emotions. Therapy is a co-creative process where therapeutic goals and modalities are collaboratively determined and evaluated.

  • Community

    Community plays a vital role in and outside of therapy. Establishing rapport based on shared lived experiences creates a sense of belonging, reminding clients that they are not alone in their struggles. Developing a sense of community outside of the therapy space can help to transform therapy from a solitary path into a shared adventure.

  • Creativity

    Creative expression often unlocks new avenues for individuals to express emotions and experiences that might be too complex for traditional conversation. Through creative activities like art, music, and writing, clients can explore their inner worlds, finding connections and insights that reduce anxiety and foster healing.

  • Empathy & Compassion

    A critical component of therapy is feeling heard, understood, and validated. We foster an open and non-judgmental atmosphere where individuals can explore their genuine thoughts and feelings at their own pace. We believe that all clients are doing their best with the tools they have at any given time.

  • Strengths-Based

    Valuing strengths-based approaches means focusing on the unique abilities, talents, and resources of individuals rather than solely on their challenges or deficits. This perspective encourages clients to recognise and build on their existing strengths, fostering empowerment and building upon resilience.
