Shanti is Sanskrit for “inner peace.” Developing inner peace is the ultimate goal at the Shanti Counselling Centre.

When individuals experience such peace, they are able to think clearly, make effective choices in their lives, and solve life problems. Inner peace develops when individuals are able to develop awareness and understanding of the thoughts, feelings, and actions that are associated with problems in living.

The therapeutic interventions that are used to facilitate this process of finding peace include strategies that are borrowed from Emotionally Focused, Cognitive Behavioural, Gestalt, Psychodynamic, Systems, and Narrative traditions of therapy.
