Often throughout our lives, we need the opportunity to think out loud the various stresses and events that are impacting our ability to enjoy life. We need to be heard in a safe and non-judgmental environment, with an opportunity to review our ideas for change, personal goals and way to cope with trauma.
I offer counselling services for adults and adolescents who are seeking an impartial, compassionate and thoughtful process to explore change in their lives. My counselling services include sessions for individuals and/ or families.
Frequently, parents and caregivers question and second guess their parenting skills as they try to stay connected to their adolescent children. Through counselling, parents and caregivers will have an opportunity to consider different approaches to relationship building, while strengthening their own social emotional wellness.
Adolescents are growing up in an incredibly complex, demanding and fragile world. They need and want to be connected and reassured by parents and caregivers, but often face the strong influence of peers. Through counselling, adolescents will have an opportunity to explore their concerns and frustrations, and the various ways they can approach life with healthy social emotional skills.
Approaches I have studied and use in my work include:
Solution Focused Therapy
Grief Counselling
Mindfulness
Strength Based and Person Centered Therapy
Existentialism
Trauma Informed
If you are looking for an opportunity to explore change in your life, I would encourage you to contact me for a free 20 minute consultation.
