Havenwood Counselling
Experiential counselling for anxiety, trauma, depression, stress and life challenges.
Beyond Talk Therapy
Experiential therapy (AEDP, Coherence Therapy) emphasizes process and experience, over content.
Together, we get closer to what is actually driving a response and uncover the deeper emotional learning beneath it.
Through this approach, clients can emerge from the roots of long-standing patterns and create meaningful, lasting change.
EXPERIENTIAL PRINCIPLES
Working at the root. Rather than simply managing symptoms, experiential therapy seeks to transform the emotional learning and implicit patterns that give rise to them.
Attention to experience. Working from experience versus speaking from belief. This can be done through dyadic or creative means.
Safety and collaboration. Therapy moves at the client's pace. A trusting therapeutic relationship provides the safety needed to explore difficult experiences without becoming overwhelmed.
Focused therapeutic work. Emphasis is on emotions and patterns as they emerge, creating opportunities for transformation in the moment.
