We all know that we are conditioned by experiences, burdened by too much programming and sometimes, a bit lost or out of rapport with our very selves. As a result, we can feel stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed or just numb. I am a Registered Clinic Counselor with over 25 years in the counselling field. In my work, I see myself as a respectful collaborator in your search to make sense of what is happening, or in making new sense of what has happened. Though somewhat eclectic in my approach, I rely heavily on Narrative Therapy. As such, I tend to be curious, ask questions and take notes.
Sometimes, I also like to send a brief letter between sessions. You may wish to do a little journalling of your own after we meet. Notes, letters and such serve as a good record of progress - a way of ensuring things are on track. They can also serve as an artifact to return to months or years later to notice and reflect on the progress that you’ve made.
As I see it, good counselling experiences involve an immersion in a process and a search for solutions. Too heavy a focus on solutions ends in shallow temporary fixes and too great a focus on process never ends. Counselling need not be endless. There is good evidence that with the right counselor, clients can achieve outcomes in six to ten sessions.
