Looking for CBT? Let’s Start There.

CBT is a Piece of the Puzzle, Not the Whole Picture

CBT focuses on shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. And while that’s powerful, life’s challenges are often rooted deeper—in your emotions, your relationships, your body, and even your past experiences. That’s why many people find that CBT helps, but it doesn’t quite get them all the way to where they want to be.

At Storylines Counselling, we understand that your life is made up of many chapters, each one shaping the person you are today. CBT can help you rewrite certain parts of your story, but it’s only one way to approach the bigger narrative.

Therapy That Sees You as a Whole Person

We believe in meeting you wherever you are in your story—whether that’s at the beginning of exploring your thoughts, or deeper into the emotional layers beneath. Our therapists are here to help you make sense of the chapters that have shaped you and write new ones full of healing, growth, and resilience.

To do that, we use a variety of evidence-based approaches, including:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Helping you live a life aligned with your values, even when things feel hard.

• Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP): Fostering deep emotional healing and connection.

• Emotion-Focused Therapy: Getting to the heart of what you’re feeling and why.

• Reality Therapy: Helping you focus on what you can control to create meaningful change.

• Somatic Approaches: Addressing how your body holds onto stress and trauma.

Why Trauma-Informed and Emotion-Focused Matters

Sometimes, the parts of our story that hold us back aren’t just in our thoughts—they’re in our emotions, our bodies, and the experiences we carry with us. That’s why we approach therapy with a trauma-informed lens, creating a safe space to explore not just what’s on your mind, but what’s in your heart and body, too.

Because healing isn’t just about thinking differently. It’s about feeling differently. It’s about writing a new chapter that feels true to you.
