The Many Ways to Heal: Therapy Modalities at Bien-être Counselling

When it comes to mental health, there’s no “one-size-fits-all” solution. Every person brings their own story, strengths, and needs to therapy. That’s why, at Bien-être Counselling, we offer a wide range of evidence-based modalities—so you and your loved ones can find the approach that fits you best. Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, trauma, grief, emotional regulation, or family challenges, our team is trained in diverse methods to help you heal and grow.

Sand Therapy: Healing Through Play and Symbolism

Sand therapy, or sand tray therapy, is especially powerful for children, but can benefit teens and adults as well. Using miniature figures and a tray of sand, clients create scenes that express feelings and experiences that might be hard to put into words. This gentle, creative approach allows for self-discovery, emotional release, and healing from trauma in a safe, non-threatening way.

EMDR: Processing Trauma and Building Resilience

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a specialized therapy for individuals who have experienced trauma, anxiety, or distressing life events. EMDR helps the brain “reprocess” painful memories so they become less overwhelming. Our trained therapists guide clients through this structured, evidence-based process—helping them move forward with new confidence and calm.

Art Therapy: Expressing What Words Cannot Say

Art therapy harnesses the healing power of creativity. Through drawing, painting, or other artistic activities, clients can explore emotions, process grief, and develop new coping skills. No artistic talent is required—just a willingness to try. Art therapy is especially helpful for children, teens, and anyone who finds traditional talk therapy challenging.

Grief Counselling: Navigating Loss with Compassion

Grief is a deeply personal journey, and there’s no “right” way to mourn. Our therapists offer gentle, non-judgmental support for individuals and families coping with loss—whether from death, divorce, or life transitions. We help clients honour their feelings, find meaning, and move toward healing at their own pace.

IFS (Internal Family Systems): Understanding Your Inner World

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a unique approach that helps clients explore the different “parts” of themselves—like the inner critic, the protector, or the wounded child. By getting to know these parts and fostering self-compassion, clients can heal old wounds, reduce inner conflict, and create lasting change.

CBT & DBT: Building Practical Skills for Everyday Life

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) are structured, skills-based therapies that help clients understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are connected. CBT is effective for anxiety, depression, and stress, while DBT is especially helpful for emotional regulation and coping with intense feelings. Our therapists teach practical tools you can use right away to manage challenges and build resilience.

Play Therapy: Meeting Children Where They Are

Children communicate and process emotions through play. Our play therapy services use games, toys, and creative activities to help children express themselves, develop coping skills, and work through challenges in a way that feels safe and natural. Parents are included in the process to support growth at home.

Why a Range of Modalities Matters

No two people are alike, and neither are their healing journeys. By offering a broad spectrum of modalities, Bien-être Counselling ensures that each client—child, teen, or adult—can access the approach that best fits their needs, preferences, and stage of life. Our therapists are committed to ongoing training and collaboration, so you benefit from the latest knowledge and a truly personalized plan.
