  provided, he or she will help you find the
  different ways to resolve your problems and to
  deal with your emotional issues.

Emotion-Focused Therapy Ottawa

  focused therapy (EFT) is a short-term
  family-related approach that helps individuals,
  families, and couples deal with a sense of
  betrayal, fear, bonding, loss of trust,
  attachments, anger, and other relationship

Motivational Interviewing Ottawa

• Motivational interviewing or MI is a
  client-centered and goal-oriented counseling
  approach that can help you and the counsellor
  identify, explore, and resolve your insecurities
  and your other ambivalent feelings in order for
  you to know which internal motivation is required
  for behavior change. It is usually used for
  people who are dealing with all sorts of
  addictions and those who are managing physical
  health problems or conditions like asthma, heart
  disease, and diabetes.

• During the motivational interviewing session, the
  motivational interviewer will encourage you to
  talk not only about your insecurities, problems,
  and ambivalent feelings but also about why you
  want or need to change your behaviour/lifestyle
  in a very supportive manner. This short-term,
  practical, and empathetic approach also involves
  considering how challenging it is for you to make
  changes in your life and behaviour.
