Counselling therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. As each and every one of us is unique, we believe there is no single therapeutic modality that provides all the answers for everybody.
Drawing from various evidence-based counselling theories and techniques, including the ones listed below, counsellors at AsUR use an integrated approach and adapt the format of sessions to meet the specific needs and situation of each client.
Narrative Therapy || Parts Work || Systems Therapy
Somatic (Body-Centred) Therapy || Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy || Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Mindfulness || Psychoeducation || EMDR Therapy || Play Therapy
We work from a place of curiosity and collaboration, rather than authority. Neurodivergent-affirming, intersectional feminist, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and social justice frameworks guide and ground our practice.
We have no agenda to pathologize your experience. We are interested in hearing your story and getting to know you in your fullness. We provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, concerns, and questions without judgement.
You are the expert of your world. No one knows what you are going through better than you. Therapy is both an invitation for counsellors to share in on their clients’ lives and a practice of collaborative research between the counsellor and the client. It is not an expectation for clients to maneuver around their counsellor.
We are mindful of different sensory and processing needs, and make every effort to help you feel safe and comfortable in counselling. We do not expect you to make small talk or eye contact. You are also free to stim, stand, and/or walk around as you need during sessions.
We engage in ongoing professional learning to build our knowledge, expand our awareness, and strengthen our practices to better support our community.

““Identifying as Neurodivergent isn’t just another label; it’s also an identity, a reclamation, a song.””
