Online Counselling for St Albert

Life transitions, daily stressors, trauma, and mental illnesses can negatively influence the way we think, feel, and behave. These factors can cause us to feel "stuck" in old habits and patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that no longer serve us. I recognize that when we are stuck, it is difficult to make that first step towards change and reach out for support. Hence, I acknowledge you for making the first step into finding what works best for you. I understand that you want to take charge of your mental and emotional pain so that you can unlock your utmost potential.

Hello, my name is Kirsten. I'm a Counselling Therapist supporting adults and youth, and I am currently accepting new clients for Fall 2023. My specializations include anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. With 8+ years as a Child and Youth Counsellor, I also specialize in working with teens and young adults. I strongly believe in what’s called an ‘integrative approach’ to counselling. This means I see value in diverse methods; I do not believe counselling is “one size fits all”. I work together with clients to explore various options and determine what fits best!

Do you find that anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, habits and addictions are holding you back from fully embracing and living the life you were meant to?

I also have specialized training in TEAM-CBT - a cognitive behavioural approach developed by Dr. David Burns, best selling author of "Feeling Good" and "Feeling Great". www.softstonecounselling.com

I work collaboratively with clients to gain insight into thoughts, beliefs, and emotions that are no longer serving them to help them overcome struggles and identify their strengths while utilizing those strengths with individualized strategies and tools to help them reach their goals.

My passion for helping others started with working in homeless shelters. This experience instilled a passion to hear people’s stories and recognize each person as unique and valuable. One of the most difficult times that has shaped much of my journey as a therapist is my own journey being diagnosed with a critical illness near the end of my graduate training in 2014. This was one of those phone calls that I would have never imagined. It is through this challenging circumstance I was able to grow as an individual in walking through my own journey of healing, benefitting from some of the same evidence based practices I can now u

Are you no longer able to manage like you used to? Are you dissatisfied in your relationship and feel unsure what to do next? Are you feeling angrier, sadder, or more irritable? Life can often send challenges our way that we aren't prepared for, which can cause us to feel stuck, scared, and lost. Ultimately, we are all looking to feel at ease in our own skin, fulfilled in our relationships, satisfied with our lives, and free to be ourselves. Therapy is a chance to step back from the way we have always done things so we can make sense of what is going on around and within us. To reconnect with what matters most in a safe environment.

At times we feel under a lot of intangible stress, and this creates an imbalance that wears out our normal coping skills. You are not alone. Feeling tired of being tired is the first step in reaching out to achieve and master a proper life balance. A life without the limits of our pre-conditioned and other based negative self talk paradigms. Life does involve more than survival and fighting- it involves joy and happiness. I can help you achieve this transformation.

I work with adults and youth who want to work through any kind of suffering. This may involve building a life worth living, learning healthy emotional control. to feel better overall, or stopping a nagging problem.

There are many reasons why people pursue counselling. Some want to address specific problematic behaviours. Others, long-term difficulties that have not yet been resolved. Some want to find alternate ways to cope while others want to discover more about themselves in order to live life more authentically. Whatever your concern, it is a privilege to support your personal therapeutic goals on your own self-development journey.

I am a firm believer we all grapple with various challenges in some form or the other; for instance, addictions, tussles in relationships, difficulties in various stages of life (child rearing, retirement, divorce, loss of loved ones, juggling with tough schedules). My listening skills provide my clients a safer place to walk through the path of their feelings and experiences.

While I enjoy working with individuals, I specialize in helping couples reconnect. I don't take sides, I don't judge, and I don't tell you what to do. In our sessions, we'll collaborate to uncover and change patterns of communication that leave you feeling disconnected. If your relationship has become a source of stress, I can most likely help you and your partner find your way back to a mutually satisfying connection. You will strengthen your intimate bond, and learn how to be there for each other more deeply during the inevitable difficulties all couples experience.

You see your child or teen struggling with their emotions, worrying about what seems like small things, feeling sad and stressed out, or having lost confidence in themselves. You are stressed and overwhelmed with trying to figure out how to help them and are feeling at a loss. You worry about your child and wonder how you can help them. Imagine seeing your child or teen smiling, laughing and relaxed. Imagine them knowing how to manage their emotions and worries and having skills to problem solve with confidence.

I focus primarily on helping men of all ages heal and revitalize their relationships. Of all the relationships we maintain, the most important one is with ourselves. Through our own inner dialogue of feelings and thoughts we read and tell our own story. I believe this awareness of how feelings and thoughts manifest in our body and minds is at the heart of counselling and the human condition. Emotions get stored in our body and have a history. In the space we share, I will provide a welcoming and supportive atmosphere for you to tell your story, and to write the next chapter in your life.
