Heather Deighan, BPR, Graduate Diploma in Graduate Studies, MEd Counselling, CCC, RCT. As a compassionate and experienced holistic therapist with a deep awareness of the mind, body and spiritual connection, I am devoted to guiding my clients on their journeys of emotional healing to help them achieve transformation.
I counsel individuals 16 and older - from those who are in recovery from addictions, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and healing from unhealthy relationships and are experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, depression and sometimes burn out as a result; I am also an experienced mental health seminar facilitator.
The therapeutic modalities I employ are Cognitive Behavioural, Acceptance Commitment and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, narrative, solution-focused, internal family systems, mindfulness and strength-based approaches. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I also utilize somatic experiencing and basic Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), along with Cognitive Processing and Exposure Therapy.
One of my core beliefs is that every individual has the ability to heal both emotionally and physically by tapping into their body's innate healing abilities as they access their inner wisdom and intuition. With care, compassion and curiosity, I gently help clients cultivate a safe and supportive environment with the focus of supporting them with empowerment to lead joyful and abundant lives.
