Everyone deserves to be able to share their emotions and thoughts in a safe space to help them work through their troubles. Psychotherapy, or talk therapy, is an extremely beneficial treatment run by a licensed mental health professional with the appropriate training.
These professionals can help you understand and overcome your mental health condition by making positive changes.
The Beekeeper House offers several types of psychotherapy to help address your concerns and treat mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, alcohol addiction, substance use disorder, and eating disorders.
There are several types of psychotherapy available to address your specific mental health needs. Our expertly trained therapists will work with you to determine which method is best for you. Therapy sessions at The Beekeeper House are done in one-on-one (individual) and group settings. Individual therapy gives you the opportunity to work through your issues, while group therapy offers a supportive setting and a chance to learn from others going through similar experiences.
Psychotherapy Types
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) combines cognitive and behaviour therapy concepts. During CBT, your therapist will work with you to identify disruptive thought patterns, emotions, and behaviours. They will then help you develop strategies to make positive thought changes to help guide you to better behaviour.

Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) is a specific type of CBT that places more emphasis on mindfulness and staying in the present moment. Your therapist may encourage you to pay more attention to the thoughts, feelings, and sensations you are having at a certain moment. DBT can also help you better regulate your emotions and cope with negative ones to bring more positivity into your life.
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy aims to help individuals identify and challenge self-defeating thoughts and beliefs, ultimately replacing them with healthier and more productive ones. REBT focuses on the present moment to address how irrational beliefs lead to emotional distress and maladaptive behaviours that hinder personal growth and success. Through REBT, you can learn to change negative thoughts and behaviours, manage negative emotions like anxiety and depression, address problems with self-worth, extreme anger, and overcome self-defeating behaviours such as substance abuse.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) combines cognitive behavioural techniques with meditative practices and attitudes based on the cultivation of mindfulness in order to help you better understand and manage your thoughts and emotions to achieve relief from feelings of distress. MBCT was originally designed to help people who suffer repeated bouts of depression and chronic unhappiness, however, it may be beneficial to people seeking treatment for a wider range of mental health concerns. The heart of this approach lies in becoming acquainted with the modes of mind that often characterise mood disorders while simultaneously learning to develop a new relationship with them.
Acceptance and commitment therapy sits under the umbrella of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy although it shares only a few similarities with traditional CBT. ACT focuses on accepting thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based goals. ACT helps you understand why you feel the way you do by focusing on language, thought patterns, and developing awareness of your issues. It can assist you in identifying changes that align with your values and goals, while also teaching techniques to let go of unhelpful worries or negative thoughts. ACT has been found effective in treating conditions like anxiety, depression, addiction, chronic stress or pain, eating disorders, and more.
Psychoanalytic and psychodynamic therapy is based on Sigmund Freud’s theories surrounding psychoanalysis, and modern-day research has expanded on his work. This type of therapy focuses on your unconscious mind, which holds your thoughts, memories, and desires.
Psychoanalytic and psychodynamic therapy can help you address the full range of your emotions and how you interact with others based on past experiences. This helps you identify patterns in your behaviours and better understand your emotions, which can improve your relationships with others.
Humanistic therapy is an umbrella term which refers to a variety of therapies that focus on you as an individual and your personal growth. Unlike other types of therapy that focus on correcting dysfunctional or disordered thoughts and behaviours, humanistic therapy instead focuses on positive skills and characteristics. Your therapist will actively listen and emphasize clear understanding of your thoughts and emotions, accepting you without judgement.
Humanistic therapies we offer include Narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, and person-centred therapy.
Interpersonal therapy (IPT) can help you change by providing a deeper understanding of how your relationships impact your mental health. By exploring the dynamics of your interactions with others, you can gain insight into how these relationships may be contributing to your current challenges. IPT is a short-term approach that teaches you skills to build productive habits. You might learn new ways to self-soothe, express emotions, or pause triggering conversations.
Contemporary trauma therapy encompasses various approaches and techniques designed to help individuals heal from psychological trauma. Trauma therapy often integrates multiple approaches tailored to the individual’s needs, recognizing that trauma affects people differently and requires personalised care. Combining various approaches can offer a comprehensive and holistic treatment plan that addresses the multifaceted nature of trauma, reinforcing therapeutic gains and ensuring that progress in one area supports improvements in others.
Below are some key ways that specific approaches can be beneficial:
EMDR therapy can help facilitate the accessing and processing of traumatic memories and adverse life experiences to bring them to an adaptive resolution. This process involves attending to emotionally disturbing material in brief sequential doses while focusing on an external stimulus, such as therapist-directed lateral eye movements. Through this method, EMDR therapy enhances information processing, forges new associations between traumatic memories and more adaptive information, eliminates emotional distress, and promotes cognitive insights. The goal is to relieve affective distress, reformulate negative beliefs, and reduce physiological arousal.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an approach to psychotherapy that identifies and addresses multiple sub-personalities or families within each person’s mental system. These sub-personalities consist of wounded parts and painful emotions such as anger and shame, and parts that try to control and protect the person from the pain of the wounded parts. The sub-personalities are often in conflict with each other and with one’s core Self, a concept that describes the confident, compassionate, whole person that is at the core of every individual. IFS focuses on healing the wounded parts and restoring mental balance and harmony by changing the dynamics that create discord among the sub-personalities and the Self.
Schema therapy is an integrative therapeutic approach which combines elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, psychoanalytic therapy, attachment theory, and experiential therapies. The primary focus of schema therapy is to identify and modify deeply ingrained patterns or themes called ‘schemas’, which are self-defeating, pervasive patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviours that develop early in life and are reinforced throughout one’s experiences. Schema therapy helps individuals explore and understand the origins of their schemas to then challenge and change the distorted beliefs associated with them. This therapy approach can benefit individuals dealing with chronic issues such as personality disorders, trauma and more, as well as provide an effective alternative therapy approach for individuals who have not responded well to other forms of therapy.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, goal-oriented style of communication designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to specific goals by eliciting and exploring an individual’s own reasons for change. Developed by psychologists William R. Miller and Stephen Rollnick in the 1980s, MI is particularly effective for individuals experiencing ambivalence about change, or who may start off unmotivated or unprepared for change. It can also prepare individuals for further, more specific types of therapies.
