We are human and challenges arise for each of us. Counselling can be a means of support a way to heal from past experiences and to plan for the future. There are many reasons people access counselling. The most common reasons are: depression or anxiety, relationship issues, social isolation, body issues, motivation, parenting, substance use, a traumatic experience, academic challenges, an inability to identify feeling, and needing to talk to an impartial person. The list is quite diverse and these are only the most common reasons. I am here to work alongside you and draw from my professional experiences and training to bring more balance, joy, and health into your life.
I work holistically and draw from a variety of different theories, trainings, and practical experiences to work with clients. Some of the most common approaches I use are listed below. This list is not extensive so if you have questions please contact me. Acceptance and Commitment, Art, Body Focused, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotion Focused, Narrative, Transpersonal, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy.
Counselling is a process that occurs within a relationship where I work alongside client(s) to identify and achieve goals to better their life. I highlight the strengths of those I work with, act as a neutral support person, and recognize the larger systems that impact individuals. Counselling is a unique type of relationship in which change occurs because of the healing nature of the relationship that I fostered with clients.
