Our Therapy Approaches

At Tiny Therapy Collective, we know that no two people are the same. That’s why our therapists are trained in a wide range of evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches. Each method offers unique tools, and we tailor therapy to fit your needs, preferences, and goals.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions, our team combines compassion with proven techniques to support your healing and growth.

Evidence-Based Individual Therapies

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  Helps you recognize and shift unhelpful thought patterns that affect mood and behaviour. Highly effective for anxiety, depression, and stress.

• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
  Teaches practical skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Designed for intense emotions, trauma, and BPD.

• Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
  Supports you in understanding, processing, and transforming emotions to strengthen self-awareness and relationships.

• Somatic Therapy
  Focuses on the mind-body connection, using techniques like grounding, breathwork, and movement to release trauma and stress stored in the body.

• Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
  A gold-standard treatment for PTSD that helps you identify and reframe “stuck points” — unhelpful beliefs created by trauma.

• Behavioural Activation (BA)
  Encourages re-engagement with meaningful activities to lift mood and reduce depression symptoms.

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  Helps you accept difficult thoughts, clarify values, and take meaningful action toward a more fulfilling life.

Relational and Attachment-Focused Approaches

• Gottman Method
  A research-based couples therapy model that strengthens intimacy, improves communication, and provides practical conflict-management tools.

• Internal Family Systems (IFS)
  Explores the “parts” of your inner world, helping you heal wounded parts and connect with your core Self with compassion and balance.

• Attachment-Focused Therapy
  Helps you understand how early relationships shape current patterns, and supports building secure, trusting connections.

Humanistic and Strengths-Based Approaches

• Person-Centred Therapy
  Built on empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity, this approach empowers you to grow in a supportive, nonjudgmental space.

• Strengths-Based Therapy
  Highlights your resilience and personal resources, shifting focus from “what’s wrong” to “what’s strong.”

• Integrative Therapy
  Blends multiple approaches (like CBT, mindfulness, EFT) into a personalized plan that evolves as your needs change.

Mindfulness and Holistic Approaches

• Mindfulness Therapy
  Uses present-moment awareness, grounding, and acceptance to reduce stress, anxiety, and self-criticism.

• Trauma-Informed Care
  A guiding philosophy that ensures every therapy session prioritizes safety, trust, choice, and empowerment.
