I have been doing this work for over 30 years. It does NOT have to be this way! I work with couples, and individuals. I have helped tons of people on issues ALL humans have, like depression, anger, anxiety, sadness, grief, and confusion. We Push These Feelings Away. We could be scared of them, or confused. We may say: "it's not important," " not now," or "that's just me being weird." I can confidently tell you these ideas are NEVER true. With the right understanding of your feelings, why they arise, and how to transform them, these feelings become your Best Friends. I love this work. FREE first talk. You will feel better.
Going for counselling does NOT mean you are Bad, Sick or Crazy. It means you are searching for a New Way or you feel Kind of Out of It. I would be happy to support you in making the changes you want to make. Always Your Choice. Zero Pressure from me to do it My Way. There are many approaches. I am here to support whichever you choose.
I use an integrative counselling approach, suited to the client's unique needs. In person: Halifax, Dartmouth, St. Margaret's Bay, Chester, and Hubbards. Also by Zoom or by phone. I accept uninsured clients and I offer sliding scale pricing. Contact me today. You will be happy you did. I can Get in Touch Quickly while you still feel like talking, or wait.

Meditation and CBT

Hosted by
Gina Keegan

We will do a short mindfulness meditation session. Then we will discuss what thoughts were repeating themselves over and over again. During meditation,it is taught to let the thoughts go, don't attach to them. But in post -meditation, the repetitive ones can be used for learning and liberation from painful habits of thought. This is where the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT.) comes in.
