Individual Counselling in Edmonton

At Disha Counselling & Wellness Centre, we believe in offering therapy options that are both evidence-based and adaptable to the individual’s needs. Mukesh Mishra uses a combination of therapeutic techniques designed to help you gain insight, overcome barriers, and develop the skills needed to move forward in life. Here are some of the individual therapy approaches available at Disha Counselling & Wellness Centre including capacity assessment services . 

1. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely used and scientifically proven therapeutic approaches for treating a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety and depression. CBT helps individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress. By addressing these thought patterns, individuals can reframe their beliefs and develop healthier thinking habits, leading to improved emotional regulation and overall well-being.

In CBT, Mukesh will work with you to:

• Recognize and alter unhelpful thoughts

• Change maladaptive behaviors

• Develop practical coping strategies for managing stress and anxiety

2. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on cultivating mindfulness and self-acceptance while helping you align your actions with your core values. ACT encourages individuals to accept their emotions and experiences rather than avoiding them. This therapy emphasizes commitment to values-based living, helping individuals engage in life with purpose and authenticity, even in the face of challenges.

In ACT, Mukesh will help you:

• Accept negative emotions without judgment

• Clarify your values and what matters most to you

• Commit to actions that are aligned with your values, even when faced with difficult emotions

3. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a therapeutic approach that blends cognitive-behavioral strategies with mindfulness techniques. DBT is particularly effective for individuals who experience intense emotions, difficulty regulating emotions, or challenges in maintaining healthy relationships. DBT helps individuals build skills in areas such as emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness.

In DBT, Mukesh will work with you to:

• Understand and regulate intense emotions

• Develop healthier interpersonal communication and relationship skills

• Build resilience in the face of stress and conflict

4. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) combines mindfulness practices with cognitive therapy to help individuals break free from cycles of negative thinking and emotional distress. MBCT is particularly effective in preventing the recurrence of depression and anxiety. This therapy encourages individuals to be present in the moment, accept their thoughts and feelings without judgment, and build awareness of their mental and emotional states.

In MBCT, Mukesh will guide you to:

• Practice mindfulness and self-compassion

• Break free from negative thinking patterns

• Manage stress and anxiety with greater ease

5. Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic Therapy is based on the premise that unresolved conflicts from the past, often originating from childhood, can impact a person’s mental health and emotional well-being. Psychodynamic therapy encourages individuals to explore their unconscious mind and past experiences to understand how they influence current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This approach helps build self-awareness and encourages long-term emotional growth and healing.

In psychodynamic therapy, Mukesh will help you:

• Uncover unconscious patterns and emotional wounds

• Gain insight into how past experiences influence current behavior

• Develop healthier emotional responses and improve self-awareness

Mukesh will help you develop practical coping strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and emotional distress. These skills will empower you to navigate difficult situations with greater ease and resilience.

4. Increased Self-Esteem and Confidence

Therapy fosters self-awareness and self-compassion, which leads to greater self-esteem. Through individual therapy, you’ll learn to recognize your strengths, challenge negative self-perceptions, and cultivate a more positive and realistic view of yourself. As a result, you’ll experience an increase in confidence, allowing you to approach life’s challenges with greater ease.

5. A Path to Personal Growth

Therapy is not only about addressing immediate emotional challenges but also about fostering long-term growth and self-improvement. Mukesh will work with you to identify your goals, aspirations, and values, helping you align your actions with your true self.
