WHAT IS PSYCHOTHERAPY AT HOLDING HEARTS LIKE?
- Holding Hearts connects individuals, couples and families with accredited and highly experienced counsellors and psychotherapists in the Greater Toronto Area. They can help with a wide range of issues within a safe and confidential environment. Clients can see their therapist face-to-face, by virtual conferencing, and/or by telephone; however teleconferencing may not be for some peoples and some stipulations apply.
IS PSYCHOTHERAPY THE SAME AS COUNSELLING?
- The terms are used interchangeably in Canada, and a person with a psychotherapy certification may, for example, call themselves a counsellor. Although it can be said that psychotherapy is the more likely of the two to be long-term and in-depth, the real difference is simply your therapist’s chosen training and membership with an accredited regulatory body.

WHAT HAPPENS IN A PSYCHOTHERAPY SESSION?
Sessions are generally held at the same time and place each week and last around 50-minutes. Your psychotherapist will give you their full attention and encourage you to talk about and explore your feelings and thoughts about yourself, your relationships, your past, and what you are presently finding challenging in life.
Your therapist will not judge you or tell you what to do; He/She will simply work to understand you and then ask useful questions that help you explore things further.
It’s possible your sessions might also include useful techniques such as mindfulness or visualisation, depending on the type of therapy you choose.
