Welcome
At Solla, our team of highly skilled counsellors are here to support you on your unique wellness journey. Our therapists are trauma informed, culturally sensitive individuals who are compassionate to your personal needs and experiences.
Solla: (latin): "whole & unbroken".
We chose the name Solla to represent our practice, as we believe that everyone is worthy of love, respect & healing and are inherently whole and unbroken as they are.
Our counselling philosophy is that people want to thrive and be their authentic selves but past traumas and fears sometimes get in the way.
The trust and safety established in the therapeutic space provides a unique opportunity to explore these patterns and heal, while developing new coping strategies for your future.
What Sets Solla Therapists
Apart?
All of our therapists at Solla practice somatically, meaning that they have a deep understanding of the internal body systems that impact our lives: relationships, mental wellbeing, and thinking patterns. Somatic therapists use attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology and mindfulness to empower clients with a deep understanding of their triggers and patterns of behaviour. A therapy session at Solla isn’t simply re-telling the week: you can expect your therapist to equip you with tools to regulate your stress response system, and process emotions in the body to alleviate limiting patterns and help you move towards personal growth and freedom.
OUR VALUES
At Solla, we value:
Wholeness
We hold the value of wholeness at the core of our approach. We believe in addressing the complete well-being of our clients, recognizing that mental and emotional health are deeply interconnected with physical and spiritual aspects of life. Our therapists strive to provide holistic care, helping clients integrate and heal all dimensions of themselves to achieve a sense of balance and completeness.
Mental Health
Mental health is not just a component of our work; it's our passion and expertise. We are committed to destigmatizing mental health issues and promoting mental well-being for all. Our therapists are dedicated to providing evidence-based treatments and a safe, empathetic space for clients to explore their mental health challenges, develop coping strategies, and embark on a journey toward improved emotional resilience and vitality.
Relationships
As human beings, attachment to others is fundamental to our wellbeing and survival. We all long to be known and loved. At the same time, relationships can make us feel crazy. Those we love also have the power to trigger big emotional reactions from us that make us feel confused, upset and out of control. That’s where we come in. The therapeutic relationship creates the foundation for healthy, secure attachment to occur. In therapy, you will learn about your unique attachment style and how to resolve conflict through communication, respect, and connection.
Education
We pride ourselves on extending our work beyond the therapy room. We value your time and investment and want you to walk away with new knowledge and tools to equip you with life’s challenges long term. That’s why we see ourselves not just as therapists, but as educators too. Our training in neurobiology, attachment theory, and relationships (and more) gives us a unique understanding of human behaviour. When you come to a therapy session or an educational workshop with us, you can feel confident that you will be leaving with new learning and skills.
