Book a Free ConsultationWhat is Mind Work?
Mind Work is therapy that focuses on understanding how your thoughts, beliefs, and behaviours interact—and how to shift them to create real, lasting change.
This pathway draws from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Together, we explore your patterns, challenge what's no longer serving you, and build practical skills you can use every day.
Mind Work is about clarity—noticing your patterns, challenging what no longer fits, and learning new ways of moving forward and navigating life's challenges.
Common Concerns
Mind Work may be right for you if you're experiencing any of the following:
Overthinking & Rumination
When your mind won't stop spinning—replaying conversations, worrying about the future, or getting stuck in "what if" loops.
Self-Criticism & Perfectionism
A harsh inner critic that's never satisfied, driving you to impossible standards while eroding your confidence and peace.
Anxiety & Worry
Persistent worry, mental exhaustion, panic, or a constant sense that something bad is about to happen.
Self-Doubt & Imposter Feelings
Feeling like a fraud, questioning your abilities, or waiting to be "found out" despite your accomplishments.
Depression & Burnout
Low motivation, emotional exhaustion, feeling flat or disconnected from things that used to matter to you.
People-Pleasing & Boundaries
Patterns of over-functioning, difficulty saying no, guilt around prioritizing yourself, or codependency in relationships.
Difficulty Making Decisions
Feeling paralyzed by choices, unsure where to start, or struggling to follow through on goals you've set.
Relationship Patterns
Repeating unhealthy dynamics, communication breakdowns, or struggling to connect authentically with others.
Feeling Stuck in Cycles
Familiar patterns or unhelpful habits that keep showing up despite your best efforts to change them.
What Therapy Looks Like
Mind Work focuses on understanding how thoughts, beliefs, and behaviours interact—and how to shift them to create real change.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Exploring thoughts, beliefs, and behavioural patterns. We use cognitive restructuring to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns that contribute to difficult emotions and behaviours.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
Structured goal-setting and reflection that focuses on solutions rather than problems. We identify what's already working and build on your existing strengths and resources.
Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy
Challenge unhelpful beliefs and self-talk that create emotional disturbance. We work to replace rigid, demanding thoughts with more flexible, realistic perspectives.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
Identify values and goals that guide intentional action. We develop psychological flexibility—the ability to be present, open up, and do what matters to you.
Additional Skills We Build Together
- Developing problem-solving, coping, and communication skills
- Psychoeducation around emotional regulation and boundaries
- Shifting from self-judgement to self-compassion
- Building insight into why you think, feel, and react the way you do
