PEACE Psychotherapy consists of a small group of independent psychotherapists committed to promoting empathy, acceptance and compassion for everyone. We understand that many people and their families are struggling with powerful negative emotions, impulses and behaviours, and we are prepared to fight the good fight, even when it gets messy. We will ask the difficult questions and support you in the process. We believe that empathy is essential for living a good life, and that all people, no matter how hopeless they feel, have the capacity for change and the desire to live a life worth living. We have devoted our professional lives to helping people learn to accept the things they cannot change, to change the things they can, and gain the wisdom to determine the difference.
Empathy & Compassion – Effective therapists can bring about change when they are willing to address the elephant in the room and when they are confident enough to journey with you through your darkest thoughts, feelings and experiences.
Going where angels fear to tread – Therapists often avoid addressing difficult themes due to limited skills, confidence, or simply because it is easier not to. Accepting difficult realities is often a key for the solution though, as many problems stem from dysfunctional attempts to avoid these realities. PEACE psychotherapy helps you see the value in taking on and facing the source of your suffering, and sticks with you even when it gets messy.
Acceptance – Your PEACE therapist will guide you to face the realities of your life, even when painful and disappointing, in order to empower you to grieve, accept and effectively make the changes you need in order to reach your goals.
Flexible services based on your needs – Creating change in your life requires significant effort and on-going commitment to learning new skills and applying them. PEACE Psychotherapy offers a range of services tailored to your specific needs.
DBT is an empirically validated treatment designed to be effective with the most challenging clients.
Through our DBT For Me program, we help people learn practical skills to manage emotions and build a life that feels balanced and meaningful.
At Peace Psychotherapy, we believe informed clients feel more empowered and confident in their care. Psychotherapy can be a deeply meaningful and transformative experience, helping you gain insight, build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and create lasting emotional change. At the same time, therapy can sometimes bring up difficult feelings, memories, or temporary discomfort as you work through important challenges.
This page outlines the potential benefits and risks of therapy so you can make an informed decision about your mental health care. Our goal is to provide transparent, ethical, and compassionate support every step of the way, ensuring you feel safe, respected, and actively involved in your therapeutic journey.
If you have questions about whether therapy is right for you, we’re always happy to discuss your concerns.
