Understanding Individual Counselling 

When anxiety, depression, anger issues or difficulty regulating emotions start to negatively impact daily life, individual counselling can provide essential support. Many people feel overwhelmed and unsure about where to start but speaking with a professional can help break patterns of distress and create space for healing. At It Takes Practice, we offer individual counselling to help clients develop coping strategies, build emotional resilience and gain insight into unhelpful thought patterns that may be keeping them stuck. 

For those struggling with past trauma, Somatic Experiencing is a powerful therapeutic approach that can be helpful. Somatic Experiencing is a body oriented therapeutic model that aims to resolve symptoms of stress, shock, and trauma that accumulate in our nervous system. When we are stuck in patterns of fight, flight, or freeze, SE helps us release, recover, and become more resilient.  

For those struggling with boundaries and or emotional regulation, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy is a type of therapy that helps individuals manage intense emotions and improve interpersonal skills. It combines cognitive behavioural techniques with mindfulness and acceptance-based strategies. This helps people learn how to deal with difficult emotions and situations. 

Our psychologists and counsellors provide a compassionate and structured environment to help clients manage difficult emotions and past events.  

The Role of Couples Counselling for Relationship Issues

Many couples seek couples therapy or marriage counselling when communication issues, relationship issues, or conflict begin to erode connection and trust. When disagreements become frequent or unresolved tension creates emotional distance, counselling can help break patterns of miscommunication and resentment. 

Sometimes, couples can get focused on each other’s weaknesses and spend their time thinking about these flaws, engaging in repetitive cycles with little repair. They don’t develop the skills to handle life’s challenges as a team and ineffective behaviours (such as blame, criticism, and contempt) can take root within the relationship. 

At It Takes Practice, we specialize in couples counselling, offering a supportive space where partners can express their concerns and learn new skills to navigate conflict and connect. Whether you are struggling with recurring arguments, feeling lonely in your relationship, or dealing with external stressors that are impacting your partnership, therapy can provide the guidance needed to restore intimacy and understanding. 

Reaching out for support can feel intimidating, but speaking with a professional can help regulate emotions, reduce distress and create positive change. Through individual and couples counselling, clients often experience. 

Effective communication is the foundation of healthy relationships. Learning to express thoughts and emotions clearly helps reduce misunderstandings and frustration. Many individuals and couples struggle with communication issues, which can lead to feelings of disconnect or unresolved conflict. Through counselling, clients develop techniques to actively listen, articulate their needs, and respond constructively, fostering stronger and more meaningful connections. 

Emotional regulation plays a critical role in overall well-being. Many people find it difficult to manage anxiety, anger, or stress, especially during challenging situations. Counselling provides tools and strategies to help individuals recognize emotional triggers, respond calmly and navigate difficult emotions in a productive way. By improving emotional regulation, clients gain greater control over their reactions, allowing for healthier interactions and more balanced mental health. 

Understanding oneself and others is key to breaking unhelpful patterns. Therapy offers a space to explore personal beliefs, behaviour and relational dynamics that may be keeping individuals stuck in negative cycles. Gaining insight into these patterns allows for meaningful change, helping clients build stronger relationships, improve self-awareness, and foster deeper emotional connections. 

Achieving a sense of control and inner peace often requires addressing emotional pain and unresolved experiences. Whether it's relationship issues, anxiety or past trauma, counselling helps individuals process their emotions and take steps toward healing. By working through challenges with the support of a professional, clients can move forward with clarity, confidence and a renewed sense of emotional well-being.
