Walk Into Lite is a unique model, which we describe as integrative, holistic, and person-specific. Not only do we ‘integrate’ the major psychological theories and approaches within our work, but we also integrate seemingly unrelated disciplines, which in fact do impact on wellbeing. These include: hydrotherapy, diet and nutrition, metaphysics, epigenetics, orthomolecular medicine, neuroscience, and neurotheology, to name a few.

By ‘holistic’ we mean that we work within a coherent mind-body-spirit-environment model, which recognizes that unless the needs of the individual are addressed in all four of these areas, then health, happiness, and wholeness cannot be sustainably achieved.

What we mean by ‘person-specific’ is that although we have a very clear model and approach, we always adapt it to the individual taking the journey. In other words, we are not fixed as our model is very flexible and fluid – because we know one size does not fit all.

Many people come to therapy with a specific issue, only to find that it’s often a symptom rather than the root cause. Through therapy, clients typically uncover deeper concerns. We work with a wide range of issues, including anger, depression, anorexia, bulimia, domestic violence, mental health challenges, conflict resolution, anxiety, abuse, phobias, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, self-harm, and health issues.

This list is not exhaustive. When you reach out, let us know what you’re dealing with, and we’ll let you know if we can help. With our broad expertise, we’re confident we can assist, but if not, we’ll refer you to the right resources.

We offer therapy individually, for couples, and for families. We also run tailored group therapy sessions, such as personal development, anxiety management, cultural awareness, and confidence-building. Group sizes are small, usually no more than eight participants, to ensure a supportive and effective environment. Some training groups may have up to 10.

It is best to determine exact costings with the therapist in your initial discussions.

The question of how long therapy should last has become a topic of debate in the field of counselling and psychotherapy. Over recent years, there’s been a growing trend toward shorter therapy sessions. While there’s clinical evidence supporting the effectiveness of brief interventions for certain clients and situations, there’s also ample evidence showing that some clients require a longer-term approach to truly benefit.

At Walk Into Lite, we don’t believe in setting strict time limits for therapy. Our experience has shown that two people seeking help for the same issue, like anxiety, may require vastly different amounts of time to find resolution. One person might resolve their issue in 6 to 12 weeks, while another could need 6 to 12 months. This variation can be due to many factors, but a key one is how much effort and commitment the individual brings to the process. Clients who actively engage with the work we offer often see faster, more significant results—sometimes even exceeding their own expectations.

We also don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach. The life experiences that contribute to an individual’s struggles may require different amounts of time, sensitivity, and empathy to resolve. Therefore, we don’t operate on a strict timetable. We regularly review progress, of course, but we’re not driven by the clock.

It’s also crucial to understand that therapy should be measured by actual “contact hours” with your therapist, not by how many weeks, months, or even years have passed. For example, someone who has attended weekly sessions for a year might have only spent two full days in therapy if they’ve attended 48 sessions. So, it’s not accurate to say you’ve had “years of therapy” if the actual time spent with the therapist is limited. The time between sessions is equally important, as it’s an opportunity to reflect, process your insights, and put the guidance into practice—this often has a huge impact on the overall outcome.

Yes, I can certainly recommend some books. However, I believe that no single book will provide all the answers. That said, there are definitely books that can help guide you on your journey of self-discovery, depending on what you’re looking for. For this reason, I have a Recommended Reading section on our website. Feel free to explore it—we’re confident you’ll find something that aligns with your needs. Additionally, your therapist will also suggest relevant and appropriate reading materials as you progress in your journey.

Clients can rest assured that any issues or concerns they bring to therapy will be handled with the utmost confidentiality. If you ever have any questions or concerns about this, please feel free to discuss them with me.
