My approach to psychotherapy is to facilitate the much-needed relational healing space through connectedness and compassion coupled with a very committed journey to find possible remedies of pain and trauma. This is made possible through a unique personalized treatment protocol inspired by cognitive, psychodynamic, behavioural, somatic, relational and spiritual approaches. I make use of the approaches from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Somatic Experiencing Techniques, Hypnotherapy, Neuro Linguistic Programing, various trauma and PTSD treatment methods, attachment and relational approaches in treatment. Additional to my registration with the College of Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and membership with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counselors, and an affiliate member with Canadian Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT).

The Spaces Between Counselling .....The Power of Perception The greatest growth my clients experience from our work together is a new way of seeing and experiencing their lives. I'll show you how to move from hopelessness, loneliness, frustration, and fear to clarity and peace. We'll use your struggle as your power spot to create change. Although this can be difficult, that discomfort acts as a motivation to change. That is its job. You are at a place where all the possibilities and richness of life are yours to be found. I can help you take your next steps and I'd be honoured to walk with you.

It was through her own personal journey that Trish came to find her expertise as a Somatic Psychotherapist; helping individuals, couples and families step into balance, health and connection so that they can live in joy, vibrancy and passion! After full recovery from a skiing accident that had her in a wheel chair for months, she began to feel uptight all the time, depressed, had unhealthy eating patterns, an autoimmune diagnosis, and disconnect in her marriage. She had forgotten all about joy, vibrance & passion or how to even reach for those things. If you have ever experienced these feelings & lack connection, Trish can help.

You might feel trapped in a cycle of emotional exhaustion. Trusting others may seem impossible after past hurts, leaving you yearning for connection yet keeping people at a distance. If codependency has taken over, you might be so focused on others that your own needs have been forgotten, draining your energy and sense of self. And perhaps the fear of aging brings a constant anxiety about what lies ahead. These struggles are real, and it’s okay to feel overwhelmed. But imagine waking up each day feeling truly secure in your relationships, confident in your identity, and hopeful about the future.

Feeling heard, understood and safe are paramount in beginning the process of personal transformation and well being. It is the therapist's role to create the conditions for healing to happen. Counseling can help you see how interconnected and impactful your thoughts, behaviours, values, stories and expectations are on how you engage with the world. I help shine a light on those aspects of yourself which you may be unaware of. By exploring where you come from and who you are now, you gain insight and choice in how you wish to move into the future,

Neuro-Linguistic (NLP) Counsellors

How does neuro-linguistic programming work?

A therapist using Neuro-linguistic programming might start by building a strong rapport and gathering information about the client’s objectives and any problem areas. Then the NLP therapist will employ NLP techniques to guide their client toward healthier thoughts and behaviours. Clients will learn how to better manage their moods and hone their communication skills. NLP will conclude with the therapist and client making a plan for how to integrate the positive changes into their daily life in the future.

What are some techniques used in neuro-linguistic programming?

NLP therapists often employ anchoring, so the client begins to automatically associate their trigger with a healthier response. Clients also learn how to reframe a situation to change the way they react to it for the better, and how to replace the negative beliefs that are holding them back. Many NLP clients practice visualisation or forming a mental image of themselves attaining their goals. Every NLP therapist will have their own preferred approach with specific techniques that they have found to be helpful for their clients.

How long does neuro-linguistic programming take?

Since neuro-linguistic programming is not regulated, the length of treatment can vary greatly. Some therapists may only use NLP in a single session, while others may employ it over the course of weeks, months, or even years. It depends greatly on the type and severity of the problem being treated, as well as the individual client’s response to NLP treatment.

Is neuro-linguistic programming evidence-based?

While some people may find neuro-linguistic programming helpful, either in therapy or in their career or personal development, the science behind this approach is inconclusive. Most of the available studies are small in scale and have produced mixed results, and the commercial nature of NLP lends itself to conflicts of interest. More research is needed. In the meantime, practitioners must use their best judgment of whether NLP techniques will be helpful in meeting their clients’ individual needs.
