Relationship Issues Therapists in Langley, BC

Seeking help is not always easy. Not knowing what to say, worrying about being a burden, fear of being judged or rejected…the list is endless. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help because we will have to put ourselves in a vulnerable place, where we surrender control. I believe vulnerability is the key to any close relationship. And here you are, bravely taking the first step towards the journey of healing and reconnection. Congratulations! Now that you have chosen to reflect on the past and move forward, I hope to have the honour of providing a safe and welcoming space for you to let the healing begin.

As a compassionate counselling therapist, I'm wholeheartedly here to provide you support, guidance, and the peace of mind you need to navigate through the difficult times you may be finding yourself in. Whether you are looking for individual counselling, couples counselling or marriage therapy, I will create a safe and comforting space where we can gently explore your emotions, gain clarity on your thoughts, and develop empowering strategies to manage your challenges not only effectively, but with confidence.

Kristine works with adults and youth who are struggling with anxiety, stress, grief, addictions, and relationship conflict to help feel more in control of their lives. Life can be a roller coaster of emotions and she will help you get through a romantic heartbreak, reduce your anxiety or panic attacks, lower your substance use, re-frame how you remember a past trauma, or support your grief over the loss of a family member, friend or pet. She can also work with your teenager who is struggling with anxiety which can present itself via cutting, substance misuse, disordered eating, panic attacks, and/or parent/teen discord.

Everybody needs some extra support at times to work through the problems, hurdles, challenges, and chaos that we find ourselves experiencing. I have a strong interest in working with adults who are experiencing relationship breakdown of all sorts, including issues related to addiction, the effects of addiction, infidelity, relationships, difficult childhoods, dysfunctional families of origin, and the impact of past hurts and coping patterns. I also welcome the opportunity to work with individuals who are struggling with mental health concerns, including symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, and burnout.

My ideal client is someone who wants change. Your goals would include improving relationships in your life; most importantly your relationship with yourself. Bringing more happiness and peace into your life. I lived a large part of my life rearranging chairs on the titanic until I realized I needed help. Whether it's relationship, family, friends, career or general unhappiness; if you are tired and realize you need help. I'm Here.

My ideal clients are: 1) people in bigger/fat bodies who are breaking up with diet culture, 2) couples seeking relationship support, and 3) counsellors & therapists. Many of my clients are looking for ways to come home to their body, are struggling with eating disorders, or want to examine their relationship to boundaries & pleasure. Clients often reach out because I practice from a Health at Every Size(R)/anti-diet framework. Couples seek me out because I offer a gentle, playful, skilled container for strengthening and/or repairing their relationship. Therapists appreciate my experience & ability to hold nuance.

I imagine you are viewing my profile as there is alignment with my training and specialization with what you hope to work on in therapy. I'd love to connect with you to hear what's going on and see how I can best support and guide you. Depending on what you want to work on, I can be as practical and as process/exploration focussed as would be helpful. My hope is to help you get what you're looking for and needing out of therapy.

Throughout his years of clinical experience, Dr. Don Davies has implemented his seasoned clinical and therapy skills; by asking critical questions (using how and what not why); being objective, and presenting himself as an authentic, open minded and empathic consultant. He firmly believes that clients who reach their objectives, are masters of adversity having acquired the understanding that lasting change is a marathon, not a sprint. He has continued with ongoing clinical training along with his own individual and group therapy sessions.

Working from a person-centred approach, I believe that you are your own best-expert. It is my aim to foster a safe environment where sharing and exploring can be done freely. I work with couples using a combination of different approaches creating tailored solutions to the obstacles they might face everyday. Focussing on individual and relationship strengths for resolution strategies. I also use Gottman method approaches to help deepen connection and improve communication.

I enjoy helping people who need support to overcome a variety of concerns such as relationship issues, anger management, alcohol addiction and anxiety. I believe clients improve faster when they learn the practical skills necessary to help them overcome obstacles to a fulfilling life. I provide practical, step by step interventions to help couples learn to communicate, process fights and affairs and improve the quality of their relationship.

I invite you to take a deep breath. Sometimes, Life can feel all too much. You may be feeling like you cannot continue living like you are, feeling dark, heavy, anxious, disconnected from, or lost in your feelings. I support youth, young adults, and adults with understanding their relationship to self and others through a holistic lens. This means we work together to process unfelt feelings, to be curious about persistent nagging thoughts and patterns, and to be present to how this all expresses itself in and through your body. I am passionate about showing you that getting help can be a safe, insightful, and healing endeavour.

I specialize in your unique relationship challenges. Whether you're experiencing feelings of loneliness, anger, disconnection, betrayal, or hopelessness, or just looking to enhance your intimacy, I am here to guide your journey to gaining the love and respect you deserve. Using the science & research behind proven relationship therapies can give you the best chance of success. I implement Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused, Relational Life, or Developmental Model Therapy depending on your needs as a couple or individual. I offer pre-marriage counselling to start your foundation for a lifetime of love.

I believe we all have the capacity for positive change and growth when we have access to a safe and supportive environment to share our stories. My work as a counsellor is person-centered, meaning I approach my clients with compassion, curiousity and non-judgment. I am trained to work with clients with a variety of presenting concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship and communication issues, attachment, grief, body image, self-worth, life transitions, and others. In my clinical practice, I specialize in and am passionate about working with youth, couples, and adults of all genders and sexualities.

Finding the right counselor to support you is incredibly important. Would you like to live confidently as your true self and have healthier, more authentic relationships? Would you like to learn more about building resiliency? Are you struggling to feel a sense of connection to yourself and others? Are you finding it difficult to communicate in your relationships? Do you suffer from feelings of anxiety or depression? Whatever your circumstances, counselling can be the first step in an empowering journey of transformational change. The most important relationship you have in life is the one you have with yourself.

I understand that seeking counselling can be a courageous step, and I want you to know that you're not alone on this path. I believe in the power of a collaborative and client-centered approach. I see our therapeutic relationship as a partnership, where your unique needs and aspirations are at the forefront of our work together. We'll embark on a journey together, exploring your experiences, uncovering your strengths, and charting a course toward positive change. Throughout our sessions, you can expect a safe and non-judgmental space where you are free to express yourself openly and honestly.

There are things going on in your life that are a bit out of your wheelhouse to manage right now. Whether it's anxiety, overwhelm, change or wondering who you actually are, you know that you need help. And yet...you're supposed to be the strong one...how would the people in your life react if they knew that you need help too? Which brings up another thing...you're tired of giving to everyone else. You've noticed that you just end up feeling empty and resentful when you do this. It's time to change.

Do you need a safe place to talk about the stresses of life? Do you feel overwhelmed and uncertain about where to turn? I love to be an encourager and to walk alongside people through life's challenges. The values that most influence my sessions are authenticity, safety, and emotional health. I seek to be authentically me both in counselling sessions and in the community. It is important to me that my clients feel safe, secure and valued. I want to help clients find ways to care for themselves and grow to become the people they desire to be. I care deeply about and enjoy seeing positive change in my clients.

At some point, we all hit a wall where self-help books and call-in therapy radio shows are no longer enough. Whether you are finding your way through grief over the loss of a loved one, experiencing a transition in your life, struggling in relationship or career, there is no reason why you have to go it alone. Believing a counselor must work on healing their own issues first, I have worked thru my own struggles in all of these areas. As a result I bring that learning to help many others.

In sessions, one of my goals is to be mindful and offer a safe place for clients to share personal thoughts and experiences. Being present in each moment allows me to focus on a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients. This relationship then leads to us collaboratively establishing goals as well as working toward goals. I am available in Abbotsford on Mondays, Tuesdays and Saturdays and at Living Wellness Center in South Surrey on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Taking the first step to reach out for support can feel overwhelming. We often find we are repeating the same patterns, same conversations and want to find a way to move forward. I have worked as a therapist for over twenty years dealing with such diverse issues as relationship distress, depression and anxiety, self- development and life transitions. My practice also focuses on working through trauma and interpersonal conflict. Together in a safe, confidential and collaborative way you can explore concerns and attain a better understanding of your needs.

Is stress, anxiety and depression taking its toll on you? Are you struggling with emotional and physical pain? Worried about the conflicts in your relationship? People often seek out my counselling services because they want to experience peace and joy again in their life and relationships. In a safe, gentle and compassionate environment, I will support you to make the shift you desire toward a life that is more peaceful and fulfiling.

Good mental health at any age is rooted in healthy relationships, a fulfilling home and community life, purposeful work and career options, and overall physical and mental well-being. Using a variety of techniques, I enjoy working with individuals and couples who are navigating life transitions, need to work through obstacles and opportunities, or who simply want to connect with the people around them in a more meaningful way. Most importantly, I want to foster a safe, supportive counselling relationship with you that helps you find the answers you need to live a full and meaningful life.
