Sometimes life feels like it is getting out of hand. You are transitioning through different phases of life and your expectations are changing as you do. You are frustrated that things are not going the way you had hoped or planned, and you aren't sure why? You may not be connected in the ways you'd like with your family or friends, so you don't have the personal support network that people are designed to rely upon. You wonder how other people manage and you feel like you should be, too...but you don't feel like you have any control and you aren't sure how to create meaningful change. You just need some help without judgement.
By leaving the labels at the door and working at the pace that is set by you, we will work toward addressing and reconciling your concerns at their source. With compassion and a willingness to stand and face discomfort, we will respect and acknowledge the experience that brought you to this point and co-create new ways to achieve the outcomes you need/want.
You need a safe place where you can work through experiences or circumstances that are overwhelming you! You feel stuck and you don’t know what your next move should be? You’re not broken and you don’t want to be treated like you are! You’re ready for deeper self-awareness, connection with your core values, and living with purpose - Try Atlas Counselling!

Atlas Counselling does not "treat" experience, here we work towards goals primarily through acceptance and management. We seek a life where we are not overwhelmed by challenges, not the absence of challenges, because that is not the lived reality. How do I live my life without being constantly overwhelmed by, oppressed by, or beholden to things that I experience?

As a fundamentally existentialist Counsellor, I work fairly squarely with meaning attribution. That is to say, what meaning do you, the client, attribute to your experience. I work within the parameters of your personal values and help you to find the most authentic way for you to advocate for your needs, wants and expectations and making values driven choices and taking action.
