Sometimes we feel
a bit lost, that life
is a struggle, and our energy levels feel low
How I can help
My name is Laurie Facer and I offer a psychotherapy service that provides an opportunity to enhance psychological wellbeing through the pursuit of what is important to you.
​
Through the rediscovery of what you value in life, the development of coping strategies, and the creation of awareness around negative emotions and handicapping thoughts, therapy can help to release motivating energy that moves you towards a more rewarding life. It may provide the opportunity to turn life’s struggle into positively seeking life’s goals.

My approach
I take an integrated approach primarily based on an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) framework with a focus on client collaboration that is empathetic and non-judgmental.
​
My role as a therapist is to allow you to be heard and to help you find your own solutions to the problems you are facing. I seek to provide the tools that will allow you to address the negativity in your life while moving positively towards valued goals. Underscoring my approach is the tenet that each person is different in personality and life experiences, and in readiness to experience psychological growth.
"My aim is to help you with the problems that you wish to address"
What I provide
-
A safe place to discuss feelings, thoughts, and behaviours that worry you
-

A place of knowledge that helps you to understand the source of your feelings, thoughts, and behaviours
-
A toolkit of strategies to address your most distressing feelings, thoughts, and behaviours
