Approaches
We use a compassion based, client-centred approach, and prefer to work experientially, which allows us to practically address problems that affect a client’s ability to function at work, school, home or in social situations. We present therapy in either individual sessions or group therapy sessions, depending on what would be most effective for the client.
We use the following evidence-based approaches in our work:
Compassion based Mindfulness Approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
The Model of Creative Ability
Vocational Rehabilitation
We also conduct Functional Capacity Evaluations for incapacity investigations and insurance claims. We provide case management services to employers and wellness organizations, make recommendations on adaptations to improve work functioning, and develop and implement return to work plans and work hardening programmes.
Sensory Assessment and Screening
Our therapists are trained Sensory Intelligence® Practitioners. Contact us to complete your Sensory Matrix™ with a trained occupational therapist to assist you in understanding how your brain reacts and relates to the physical environment around you, and the effect thereof on your emotional wellbeing
