My Approach To TherapyMy Strengths-Based Approach is focused on ‘what is working’ rather than ‘what’s not’. I will help you to identify your unique skills, gifts and talents so you can build up your personal strengths and resilience, which is essential to heal and to thrive in life.This approach is based on Positive Psychology principles, making a shift from ‘how to treat dysfunction’ to ‘how to become happier and more fulfilled’. You will find this approach highly empowering and motivating and you will feel more in control and confident. We won’t ignore your weak points and will address pain and dysfunctions but will be focused more on building strengths rather than overcome weaknesses.As a result, you will bring into your life more positive emotions, optimism and resilience, while decreasing unhelpful thinking and behaviours, and soul-damaging emotions.My Experiential Approach in therapy involves role-playing, movements, guided imagery and reflective exercises. These are great tools to identify and address hidden and subconscious issues with the aim to achieve the better understanding of past experiences and release of feelings of anger, hurt or shame.Trained in both, I use Therapy + Coaching in my practice. As a counsellor, I will hold your hand while you are going through a deep transformation, as a coach I will keep you accountable so you experience personal growth. As a results-oriented therapist, I am committed to getting you where you want as quick as possible.My Group Programs are built specifically for women to work through past traumas and increase their confidence and feelings of self-worth, so they can start living free and ‘unapologetically’. These integrative programs offer a multi-aspect approach combining personalized attention of individual therapy, the supportive synergy of group work, accountability of coaching as well as psychoeducational resources on various topics through videos and webinars. Join the upcoming group program for women.Please contact to book your appointment for Monday through Thursday 8am - 8pm

A Lifeline For a Lifetime:When you can't look on the bright side, I will sit with you in the dark and help you see your brilliance.David Burns RPCcLife is full of intense challenges that can create such issues as anxiety, depression, addiction, anger problems and low self-esteem. Who better to help you navigate your way through these challenges, than someone like myself who has forged a path through these issues. Together we can create solutions for a brighter future."I have endured, I have been broken, I have known hardship. I have lost myself. But yet here I stand, still moving forward, growing stronger every day. I will never forget the harsh lessons in my life. They made me stronger and wiser."  And now I offer that strength and wisdom to you, to help you move forward and grow stronger. Most people don't realize how much courage it takes some days just to get out of bed, or how hard it is to pull yourself out of an anxiety attack, or how stressful it is to explain what's going on in your head when you don't even understand it yourself...but I do!!!"Unfortunately, most of us are continuously trying to distract ourselves from facing ourselves."As a counsellor, David strives to help people make new discoveries about themselves and what helps them overcome the obstacles they face. David's clients trust him to guide them on their journey to achieve the goals they set for themselves. David enjoys working with people from all walks of life. Counseling can be a wonderful and wise opportunity to explore the courage to change the things you can and the serenity to accept the rest.David is dedicated to providing nurturing, creative and flexible healing environments and experiences.David is someone who understands the transformative power of therapy, he is passionate about learning, listening, and bringing balance and wellness to the lives of his clients..There are four areas that I focus on in my work; Anxiety/Depression, Anger Management, Addiction & Personal Development Workshops. Working together in these areas, I know I can help you unlock and heal the pain that you carry from the past and assist you in building a stronger today with a new awareness and understanding of your own natural resources and strengths.Anxiety/Depression:Anxiety is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained. Depression is living in a body that fights to survive, with a mind that tries to die.Anger Management:Anger can be uncomfortable. Our culture’s view of anger may contribute to our difficulties with this complicated emotion. We often regard anger as the ugly stepchild of emotions, making it less acceptable to express than sadness or anxiety. The result: we don’t always learn how to handle our anger constructively. Yet, when managed with care and attention, anger can be a force for reflection and even the impetus for major breakthroughs in how we feel and live our lives.Addiction:Many people don't understand why or how other people become addicted to drugs or alcohol. They may mistakenly think that those who use drugs or alcohol lack moral principles or willpower and that they could stop their substance use simply by choosing to. In reality, addiction is a complex disease, and quitting usually takes more than good intentions or a strong will. Drugs and alcohol change the brain in ways that make quitting hard, even for those who want to. Drug addiction is treatable and can be successfull.Personal Development Workshops:Personal development is an often used but rarely explained term. It is about investing in yourself so that you can manage yourself effectively regardless of what life might bring your way. Personal development allows you to be proactive. Rather than wait for good things to happen, you get out there and make them happen. You may not always achieve your objective, but you will experience a richer and more rewarding life when you commit to pursuing your own objectives. Making that commitment to personal development is the first step on the path to personal fulfilment.

Hypnotherapy

HypnotherapyHypnotherapy is a powerful clinical tool that trains and communicates directly with our unconscious mind, which is the source or root of many of our behaviours, emotions, attitudes and motivations. Hypnotherapy is also an exceptionally gentle and effective way of attaining personal goals and making lasting changes with ease. It can also facilitate healing in the body and help to dissolve illness and dis-ease. Hypnotherapy accesses memories, changes perception and creates improvements in our lives. These amazing transformations are achieved through the use of hypnosis, or direct communication with the unconscious mind.The unconscious mind controls our emotions, beliefs, self-esteem, immune systems, and bodies. It influences what we think, how we feel, the choices we make, and the actions we take.Some call it subconscious mind. Out of our normal awareness, the part of mind is the authentic treasure chest, filled with the riches of who we truly are. Our personality, perceptions, intuition, inner wisdom and creativity all reside within it. Hypnosis creates the bridge to attain access to all of these inner riches so that you may shape and form your life as you’d like to experience it.Although we normally regard hypnosis as a trance-like state, it is actually a normal and natural altered state of consciousness. In fact, after experiencing hypnosis sessions, many people question whether they really have been hypnotized. This is because, although people expect it to be quite strange, hypnosis is quite a normal state.Hypnosis is safe, non-invasive, and enjoyable. As compared with traditional counselling or psychotherapy, clients can expect rapid improvement. Change happens at the very first session.Based on a study cited by American Health Magazine, a survey of psychotherapy literature by Alfred A. Barrios, Ph.D. revealed the following recovery rates:• Psychoanalysis 38% recovery after 600 sessions• Behavior Therapy 72% recovery after 22 sessions• Hypnotherapy 93% recovery after 6 sessionsKemila Zsange Hypnotherapy & Counselling can help put YOU in control of your thoughts, feelings and choices to create the life you want to live.Primarily we offer one-to-one counselling through hypnotherapy to facilitate changes for people who need assistance coping with life and towards individual betterment in areas such as:-Stress-produced symptoms: insomnia, writer’s block-Irrational fear and phobia: fear of flight, claustrophobia, fear of spiders-Behavioural change: smoke cessation, weight loss, nail biting, OCD-Memory recall: finding misplaced jewellery, age regression, Spiritual Regression-Anxiety: public speaking, test anxiety, panic attack, constant worrying-Sports performance enhancement-Relationship enhancement: intimacy response, children discipline-Unexplainable symptoms and unresponsive conditions to traditional medical treatmentOur services specialize in communicating with the unconscious mind to find strength and answers within for immediate, permanent and compelling changes.
