What to expect
01

A conversation to understand your situation, your history, and what you want to change.

Schema Therapy
Understanding and changing long-standing patterns rooted in earlier experience.
THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES
How the work actually happens
Your psychologist draws on evidence-based approaches and adapts them to you, rather than fitting you to a method. You don't need to know which one you want.
CBT
Practical tools to shift the thought patterns and habits that keep difficulties in place.
Mindfulness-based interventions
Learning to notice and settle your reactions instead of being carried by them.
ACT
Building psychological flexibility and moving toward what matters to you.
Emotion-Focused Therapy
Working directly with emotions to understand and transform what they're signalling.
WHAT IT IS
Psychotherapy at Kaïa
Psychotherapy is a structured, confidential space to understand what you're carrying and to change how it affects your daily life. You work with a licensed psychologist who listens closely, helps you make sense of patterns, and gives you practical ways forward.
There's no single right way to start. Some people arrive with a clear goal, others just know something needs to shift. Both are good reasons to book a first session.
