Individual Psychotherapy
Have you ever wondered why you are the way you are? Have you been to therapy before and felt that it wasn’t getting to the deeper layers of your issues?
Ikarus Mind is about diving deep into your emotions and thoughts in order to discover how different parts of your life are connected.
The goal of Kiersty’s integrative and holistic approach is to discover lightbulb moments. Everyone has their blindspots so Kiersty’s role is to help provide insight by uncovering root issues & connecting the dots. Let's address attachment styles, core identity, black & white thinking, limiting beliefs and assumptions, and boundaries.
Come as you are. Be heard. Be seen. We look forward to meeting your doubts with the Ikarus Touch of authentic engagement and critical reflection.
Kiersty welcomes all people regardless of ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, religion, and age.
Couple’s Counselling
Common relationship dynamics that Kiersty addresses in her practice:
a) The ‘Roommate Trap’: Even the best, loving relationships can fall into the ‘roommate trap’ where couple’s gradually shift from being romantic partners to functioning more like cohabiting roommates. This often happens when daily responsibilities, routines, and life stressors take priority over emotional intimacy and passion. This is where couple’s may find themselves at a crossroads in deciding whether to stay together or go separate ways.
b) ‘Repeating Cycles’: This is where couples go through the same communication and argument patterns that eventually lead to a build up of tension, walking on eggshells, unrealistic expectations and a breakdown of communication. Both sides don’t feel heard even when the effort is made.
Goals of Couples’ Counselling: Kiersty unpacks the core limiting beliefs, love languages, and nuances of each relationship to help couples hear each other differently and connect more deeply to their emotions.
Some questions to reflect on in your relationship:
1) What do you still need to learn in your relationship?
2) What does it mean to be present and emotionally connected to your partner?
3) What’s one thing you keep ignoring in your partner that would make a difference in bringing you closer together?

Therapy for Young Adults
Are you experiencing stress, anxiety, loneliness, depression, or anger? Are you feeling pressure to perform and please others? Are you struggling to break out of cycles of trauma? At Ikarus Mind Psychotherapy, we understand that pressure to find your path in this world. The path that you’re on may be wider or narrower than you think. Let’s explore.
Spiritual Health Counselling
We define spirituality as the holistic experience of being human and getting in touch with your Authentic Self. Are you curious about exploring the deeper meaning of experiences such as grief, hardship, and loss through a spiritual and existential lens? There are more layers to the stories that we hear, tell, and believe. Let’s dive in.
Holistic Approach to Therapy
We use a custom, personalized, and relational approach. We use mindset & reframing tools to help you understand how to get from Point A to B. Therapy doesn’t happen in a straight line, so Ikarus Mind is here to journey with you along the way. We also include spiritual health aspects such as Meaning, Purpose, Identity, and Sense of Connection to oneself and others.
