Our trained and passionate clinicians are committed to using evidence-based approaches which are tailored to the family's specific needs.

Simerpreet Ahuja, Soul Immersion Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD in Psychology
I work with children and adolescents facing a range of challenges such as anxiety, depression, behavioural issues, self-esteem issues and relationship issues. My approach integrates evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Humanistic, Attachment-Based and Psychodynamic approaches to address these issues effectively. I believe that fostering self-esteem is crucial in empowering young individuals to thrive. Through collaborative therapy sessions, I empower my clients to recognize their strengths, cultivate resilience, and overcome obstacles with confidence. Furthermore, I place great emphasis on establishing healthy boundaries as a cornerstone of mental well-being. By fostering clear communication and self-advocacy skills, I guide my clients in establishing boundaries that promote healthy relationships and emotional well-being. In my work, I integrate principles of secure attachment to nurture healthy connections and support emotional resilience. Through nurturing and supportive interventions, I help children and adolescents build secure attachments, fostering trust, empathy, and emotional regulation. Additionally, I use inner child work, which involves exploring and healing past wounds to promote inner healing and growth. In summary, my therapeutic approach is grounded in compassion and evidence-based practices. I believe in creating a nurturing and affirming therapeutic environment where children and adolescents can explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and embark on a journey toward holistic well-being.

personal and oral hygiene; underdeveloped emotional skills; and the unhealthy use of technology and influences of social media. Hypnosis can provide a safe and effective solution to all of these challenges.
