Demystifying Therapy: The Verge Way

Verge ‘fits’ therapy to you.

Each session is tailored to your unique needs, values and goals.

The ‘nerdy’ way to describe this is our therapy is client-directed, outcome-informed. Evidence-based practice informs all that we do, in synergy with practice-based evidence.

What this means is that Verge is committed to practicing therapy informed by science, while not losing sight of you as a unique individual/couple/family. We collaborate with you so our approach to therapy is a good fit that helps you progress toward wholeness and wellbeing in a meaningful way.

There are many different pathways to get from where you are, to where you want to be in life.

In therapy, these ‘paths’ can be understood as the various kinds of approaches used, such as:
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Solution Focused Therapy (SFT)
- Person Centred Therapy (PCT)
- Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT)
- Gottman Method Couples Therapy (GMCT)
- Narrative Therapy
In fact, there are hundreds of different approaches!

Some people prefer a ‘pure’ approach to therapy, while others appreciate the integration of several approaches.

Ultimately however, no two people receive the exact same kind of therapy.

This is because each therapeutic relationship is unique and is the most potent factor that contributes to healthy change! At Verge, we value this relationship above all else, and seek to cultivate a safe, restorative environment for each person.

By doing so, many clients have, and continue to courageously take steps toward a more hopeful future.
