Are you anxious, sad, feeling emotional? Are there challenges in your life that you want to sort out, approach directly or put behind you and don’t know where to start? Are you seeking new opportunities, relationships, employment or career changes? Have you experienced negative adverse events or trauma that may be impacting your life today? Counselling is an opportunity to talk to a trained professional who can help you make sense of difficult feelings and emotions; help resolve complicated issues or find ways to manage them. Counselling can assist in recognizing unhelpful patterns and behaviours.
I help clients by having them tell me their story; what is their current experience and what have they done in the past. Together, we develop strategies to do things differently and move forward by using tools such as; solution focused questions; strategies from CBT;and Basic EMDR. Tools can include: action plans, journaling, meditation, mindfulness
My purpose is to counsel people to meet their goals of change and in mental, emotional, spiritual and physical health. I will assist you in identifying behaviours, cycles and barriers to overcome and to move forward. I work with you to identify events in the past, present that are holding you back from your life in purpose.
