Using various therapy modalities, including emotion-focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and sex therapy, my goal is to be a support and collaborative agent throughout your journey.
Hi there! I'm Veronica, & I'm a therapist intern at Your Story Counselling. One of life’s gifts is the gift of relationships. I believe that relationships are intimately tied to our well-being. Unfortunately, throughout our journeys, we may find ourselves disconnected from those whom we love most. It can be difficult to navigate the barriers and stressors we face with our significant others and family members, and sometimes it may be overwhelming. I aim to offer a non-judgmental, culturally sensitive space in which we can work together to achieve your goals, navigate stressors and better your relationships.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counsellors
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
