Who are we?
Better Life Therapy believes the greatest foundation for recovery and healing is hope.
For all our clients, we provide hope and healing through compassionate therapy, educational tools and workshops, through supportive groups, EMDR trauma therapy, family therapy, and one-on-one skilled and focused counselling support.
Better Life Therapy embodies the hope of recovery and healing from addictions, emotional and childhood trauma, relationship wounds, mental health challenges, as well as emotional and eating disorders.
Our methodology is based on a client centred bio-psycho-social-spiritual approach. We address the symptoms of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), childhood and adult sexual and/or non-sexual abuse, compulsive and addictive behaviours, anxiety and depression, and grief, loss and betrayal. We specialise in perinatal counselling; pre and post natal care. Perinatal EMDR therapy is a rapidly growing form of psychotherapy that can provide invaluable help and support to women before and after they give birth.
Perinatal EMDR therapy focuses on the emotional health of pregnant women, as well as those who have recently given birth. This therapy helps new mothers manage their emotions, thoughts, and feelings during this time of immense change in their lives. Perinatal EMDR practitioners are specially trained to work with pre-natal, birth, and post-natal issues such as anxiety, depression, stressors related to labor and delivery, as well as dealing with the psychological effects of IVF, losing an infant or multiples.
Our online & face to face treatment programs bring together our expertise and skills as an empathetic mental health specialists. It is our goal to provide personalised, focused and compassionate treatment and effective tools in a condensed time frame.
