Philippe Isler, MA
Registered Psychologist

Human life is sometimes described as a "journey of learning."

The problems and challenges that bring people to counselling and psychotherapy can frequently be seen on this level, as "problems of living."

Obstacles, problems and issues are not personal failings; they are opportunities to learn, to develop, and sometimes to heal -- in other words, to live a happier and more fulfilling life.

Awaken Authentic: Free Yourself From What Holds You Back

email to get on wait list

This program goes beyond therapy or counselling to help you make long-term change and transform "stuck" patterns - especially patterns of self-doubt, self-sabotage and self-compromise - so that you can have healthy relationships, fulfill your potential and live your purpose.

I'll be teaching you to re-align with what I call your Authentic Self, the real you at the core, where you find both your inner voice and empowerment.

Find out all about it here.

Anxiety and Avoidance

For people with a very strong degree of anxiety, with very long-term and pervasive patterns of anxiety, or for anxiety that is very generalized over many areas of their lives, the cognitive approach provides a useful tool that is more or less effective at different times and in different situations, but that doesn't change the fundamental problem, the fundamental pattern of reaction, or of how they feel in the world.

In my experience, changing long-term, pervasive and persistent patterns of anxiety requires a more comprehensive and integrative approach. What do I mean by that? I mean by that, an approach that involves a wide variety of techniques, skills and practices that are each helpful in a different way. "More comprehensive and integrative" means "broader and deeper." An integrative and comprehensive approach pulls and integrates aspects from cognitive approaches as well as from mindfulness, yoga, energy therapies and behavioural therapies. read more
