The Attune Approach

At Attune Counselling Therapy, we believe people have the wisdom and ability to uncover, explore, and enjoy greater self-awareness, self-empowerment, and well-being. We use a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches that can help people on their path toward enjoying greater contentment and a more joyous life.

​

The Attune Approach is  built on six core features:

 

Environment

We provide a non-judgmental, supportive, and confidential environment for people to explore and engage—with curiosity, perspective, and creativity—issues and challenges they face.

 

Meaningful Connection

We are committed to building a therapeutic alliance with each person that is built on trust and safety.

 

Championing Strengths

We help people uncover and celebrate their strengths, skills, and core values that support them in creating meaningful and lasting change in their lives. 

​

Individual Agency

We celebrate each person as an individual possessing a unique voice, agency, self-determination, and autonomy. We center each person as the expert of their world.

​

Effective Interventions

We use evidence-based therapeutic approaches that are tailored to each person’s needs. We work collaboratively with people to determine the focus of our therapeutic conversations. 

​

Ethical Practice

We adhere to the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) and Nova Scotia College of Counselling Therapists (NSCCT). The NSCCT provides a robust and objective complaint process.
