At The Simplest Self, we offer psychotherapy, counselling, and somatic-based support. Here’s how we differentiate them:
Psychotherapy: Offered by licensed or qualifying therapists on our team. This is clinical work that can include deeper trauma processing, working with diagnoses, and exploring long-term patterns. Psychotherapy is only available to clients who reside in regions where the therapist is licensed to practice.
Counselling: Relational, supportive work focused on emotional wellness, life transitions, and self-understanding. Counselling may include therapeutic tools and frameworks without involving clinical diagnosis or treatment.
Somatic-Based Support: Offered by practitioners trained in modalities like Somatic Experiencing® or nervous system regulation. This work is non-clinical but deeply therapeutic in nature — ideal for those looking to reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous system, or explore protective parts and survival strategies. While not psychotherapy, it often complements or feels similar to it.
Coaching: Goal-oriented support focused on integration, growth, and nervous system capacity building. Our coaching is always trauma-informed, relational, and guided by a deep understanding of how the past shows up in the present.
We’ll always be transparent about the kind of support you're receiving, and we’re here to help you find the right fit based on your needs, location, and comfort.
