About Us
The Compass Within: Integrative Psychotherapy with Thérèse Gallant
Our Story
I believe that everyone knows deep within what they need and what direction that they need to follow in order to improve their lives. We all have the ability to access our inner knowing, our inner wisdom. At times in life this knowledge is difficult to access. Sometimes we don’t have the knowledge or experience in human relationships to navigate situations. I see my job as a therapist to assist an individual to find their own path that fits with their values to resolve life’s challenges.
I use therapeutic processes from the schools of humanistic and person-centred psychology, cognitive behavioural techniques, strength based, and solution focused as well as mindfulness, energy and somatic-based methods which include experiential exercises and guided imagery. I also have training in clinical hypnotherapy which accesses the creative unconscious mind.
I believe that humans are multi faceted beings that include a body, mind, emotions and spirit. To heal requires a holistic approach. In therapy, we discuss your therapeutic goals and we decide together how to get there. I use my training and knowledge to help you in a way that is comfortable and suitable for you, in order to achieve your goals.
I am deeply interested in helping people to find their center point, especially at this time in history where much of what we know is changing. To me, finding meaning and stability from within is part of the solution to radiant, joyful mental health. I see myself as a helper to you taking charge of your life.
