Deidre uses an eclectic array of modalities; weaving them together to suit individual needs and treatment goals. Deidre likens herself to an architect; being able to see what areas are weakening the mental structure, what is superfluous, what needs reinforcement and where and how improvements can be made. The goal of every intervention is to ally with you to bring forth . She draws from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Metacognitive Interventions, Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
