Those seeking counselling bring a wide range of concerns, including: conflicted or broken relationships, family conflict, loss and bereavement, depression and anxiety, career and vocation, and trauma, both past and present. I often meet with people at important transitions in their lives, such as: preparing for marriage, navigating parenting challenges, facing the loss of a loved one, or a change in their work lives. For many, counselling is helpful in untangling the web of family relationships.

Anxiety and depression are common issues in my practice and they can be the underlying condition in many situations. They can affect relationships, parenting, work performance, family dynamics to name a few. Therapy can assist with problem solving and gaining a better understanding of the behaviours that are causing difficulties in life. Some of my work involves life coaching and I am also a divorce coach. I offer expertise and support in the overwhelming process of separation and the difficulties involved in supporting children through divorce and separation.

Counselling can give you a temporary refuge from your daily life so that you can pay attention to your deep self and what’s troubling you. It’s a chance to slow down and discover the origins of your problems, and what to do about them. During sessions we examine the thoughts, emotions, beliefs, behaviours, and relationships that may be causing you distress. As we identify and make sense of what you’re doing (including self-protective habits that aren't working well anymore) we can discover novel possibilities for change.

"We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future." George Bernard Shaw-- While working together there is but one expert and, ultimately, one person responsible for your life. That person is you. I consider it an honour to work alongside people who are motivated for change and moving forward in life. We are all very complex and unique I seek to help you identify and address your needs, challenges and goals from a respectful and supportive role. "Freedom is is what you do with what's been done to you." Jean-Paul Sartre

When we feel anxious, depressed, exhausted, isolated, lonely, lost or stuck for too long, it feels like we are caught in a web of pain. In order to ease the pain we may be drawn to addictive substances or behaviors to provide temporary relief. This might help in the short term but can have negative consequences if our addictive tendencies become destructive habits. At the root of our psychological pain are traumatic experiences from the past or negative attitudes toward our self. At our core we often have limiting or negative beliefs that keep us caught in a web of destructive habits. To heal, these beliefs need to be transformed.

My practice draws upon the power of stories to help liberate people from the problems that might lead them to despair or feeling stuck. Through thoughtful questions and collaboration with my clients, I pull together stories that help people to better connect to what matters most to them, their hopes and dreams, their relationships, and the world around them. Life is messy. I am prepared to talk about all of it. Most often the conversations I am engaged in with folks include topics of trauma, abuse, colonial violence, sexual assault, and suicidal thoughts. Please note my website is being updated and will be back up July 1st, 2024.

The teen years are a time of massive growth and development. There are so many physical, emotional & social changes at this time. Some teens struggle with overwhelming fears, confusion, anxiety, and/or depression. The stress and pressure of personal circumstances can feel like it is a lot to handle. As caring bystanders, we may witness a youth retreat into themselves and become difficult to reach. What is the answer? Talking with an experienced counsellor can make a difference.

Do you notice yourself often feeling resentment, anger, guilt, or shame? Are you longing for connection but often feel uncared for or let down by others? Do you find yourself constantly numbing out or in a state of flight or fight? If you're stuck repetitively experiecing these reactions and are ready to get off the rollercoaster, then please keep reading. I understand how these patterns can disrupt mood, energy level, and cognitive functioning, making it difficult to fully enjoy daily activities and relationships. It's exhausting. You deserve to live with greater ease and calm.

I would love to meet you and offer you real change and skills to move forward into wholeness and freedom. I believe the best healing involves all parts of us; mind, body, emotions and spirit. In our fast-paced society, opportunities to be deeply heard, respected and affirmed are scarce. I help clients from a position of respect and non-judgemental curiosity, while clarifying core beliefs, values and goals for change. The tools I have to offer are evidence-based and scientifically proven. The lens I use as I sit with clients is that every human being is a person of worth and value and deserves unconditional positive regard.

One of the most profound sources of healing is already embedded in you; your body, your dreams, and your senses are always giving you clues as to what it is you need most, what you are invited to heal next, and where your next best step is. Current neuroscience reveals to us what ancient mystics and spiritual leaders have been showing us for millennia - that we can and will heal in profound ways as we gain capacity to integrate all of our experiences. Journeying together with a practitioner or healer who can see us, accurately reflecting back to us what we could not previously see, is a life-changing experience.

www.elisabethvanassum.com. I engage with people experiencing challenges with life transition issues: middle age, education, career, family, separation, gender transition, fertility, depressive periods, moving, death, physical changes, illness…etc. Life transitions, although always inevitable and often unsettling, offer opportunities for insight, change, growth, wisdom and joy. I fundamentally believe that if you do the work, you will get the insights you need to make the best choices for yourself.

I work with individual adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, and the persistent echoes of trauma. I have experience working with survivors of relational trauma and trauma related to adverse childhood experiences as well as those who experience ADHD, PTSD and C-PTSD. Clients often reach out to me for my warmth, genuine caring, and deep belief that healing is possible. I can help you build up grounding and regulation skills, identify the unconscious patterns that undermine your life, and help you find healthier, expansive, and more flexible ways of relating - to yourself, to others, and to the world.
