Watered Heart Counselling was formed to help individuals live an optimal life. We believe It is never to late to love your life. During my upbringing, I often felt insecure and overwhelmed by life. At times, I found myself feeling stuck and hopeless, searching for direction that was not always easy to find. It may come as a surprise or relief to know that feeling stuck is a common experience for all of us at some point. As human beings, we can feel anxious, uncertain, overwhelmed, vulnerable, disappointed, low in mood, hurt, traumatized, unloved and insecure

Feeling powerless, or that life is without meaning? Do you find yourself constantly tired, tense or disconnected? In today’s society we fill our days to be busy or distracted, avoiding our feelings because they can be difficult, uncomfortable or scary. I believe we all carry the ability to heal, no matter how impossible or terrifying it feels in this moment. My hope is that together we re-acquaint you with yourself and build a life filled with purpose and joy. It’s okay if you are skeptical, scared or overwhelmed. I’m not, and I’ve got you.

Life's journey is often a tumultuous one - filled with complexity, chaos, and moments that can leave us feeling utterly shaken and exhausted. It's easy to find ourselves on autopilot, battling stress and anxiety as our default emotions. In times of distress, the pressure to swiftly return to a so-called "normal" can be overwhelming, leaving us feeling isolated in our struggles. As someone who has faced the profound challenges of sudden widowhood at 30 and has served a former police officer, I intimately understand how life's experiences shape our well-being, I invite you to break free from the cycle of chronic stress and anxiety.

How does motivational interviewing work?

Motivational interviewing aims to uncover a person’s internal motivation to change their life. Toward this end, the therapist listens, empathises, and collaborates with the client based on their perspective; the therapist doesn’t adhere to a predetermined plan for change or impose their viewpoint on the client. Discovering an individual’s most important reasons for change, and guiding them to achieve those changes, can empower people to shift from ambivalence to action.

Is motivational interviewing evidence-based?

Yes, research shows that motivational interviewing can help treat alcohol and substance use — and in different ways such as reducing drinking, reducing resistance, and increasing the likelihood of staying in treatment. Motivational interviewing has also been shown to help people lose weight, adhere to medication regimens, improve diet for those with Type II diabetes, and improve healthy behaviours in children.

How long does motivational interviewing last?

Motivational interviewing is a short-term therapy that can last just one or two sessions. In some cases, motivational interviewing may be used in conjunction with longer-term therapies, but for most people, motivational interviewing is a brief intervention that aims to help patients understand their personal, specific, and internal reasons for changing their life.

What differentiates motivational interviewing from person-centered therapy?

In person-centered therapy, the individual is in the driver’s seat of the treatment process, creating space for them to trust their instincts and arrive at their own solutions. The two approaches are similar because motivational interviewing is also client-centered; however, person-centered therapy is more open-ended while motivational interviewing is somewhat more structured; the goal is to change, and the therapist helps the client specifically discover their internal motivations to modify their behaviour.
