We all go through different emotions, some of which can be distressing and require different methods of management. It is also common to feel misunderstood and confused about your own identity, especially when your emotions are intense, rapidly changing, or seem to control your behaviour.
You desire to feel your best, have emotional balance, enjoy fulfilling relationships, and live meaningfully. Learning how to cope with painful emotions can improve the quality of your relationships and increase positive experiences in your life. Everyone deserves to live a happy and peaceful life.
Mindfulness is the practice of focusing on the present moment without judgment. It helps develop self-awareness and emotional regulation.
Distress tolerance is about developing skills to cope with distress without resorting to harmful behaviors. It helps individuals navigate challenging situations and regulate intense emotions.
Emotional regulation is about effectively managing and coping with emotions. It involves learning strategies to increase awareness, tolerate distress, and respond in a balanced way.
Interpersonal effectiveness is about improving communication and relationships. It involves learning skills to assert needs, set boundaries, and resolve conflicts effectively.

At STG, we strongly believe that no one should be pressured to decide whether or not they want to work with a therapist before meeting them. A therapist will see you (or you and your child) at no charge in an online secure session to ensure a good fit for each other. Every therapist works in their unique way, so we want you (or you and your child) to be sure to feel comfortable with how we work. The initial meeting is not a therapy session; it’s designed to be low-key and low-pressure.
