Couples Counselling Therapists in London, ON

I have been a practicing clinical social worker for 50 years. Love my work which explains why I am still providing therapy into my semi-retirement years. I believe in the all important therapeutic relationship . Without that connection with that person I serve not much growth or change can happen. I congratulate my clients for making that difficult call to me but then challenge him/her/ them to make change, explore, reflect and discover what they want to do about the issues that brought them to to counselling. The therapeutic principles that I adhere to over the 50 years include: 1- Individualization: based on the right of

Talking about it is not always easy. Counselling can help to make sense of what you are going through and how to move forward towards realizing your own potential. I provide counselling for individuals and couples as they deal with issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger management, interpersonal relationships, and stress. In every crisis there is opportunity for growth and I am here to help you find it.

At certain times in our lives, we may feel like we are stuck. We struggle with maintaining our relationships with our significant other and families, have difficulty meeting work deadlines, or are unable to deal with the emotions of a traumatic event (ie. car accident or loss of a loved one). Counselling is a way to work through issues. Here are a few other reasons why individuals and couples may seek counselling: increased conflict and reduced connection due to anger, fear, depression, anxiety, sadness, self-esteem issues, grief, and trauma.

I am a registered clinical counsellor and have been working as a counsellor since 2020. I offer clients a supportive place to be heard, validated, and to personally reflect. I believe that there are many life experiences that bring individuals into counselling. I am looking for clients who want to see a change in their lives, want to better understand themselves, and who want to heal from the challenges life has thrown at them. I enjoy meeting my clients where they are at and supporting them along their journey. I work with adults, families, couples , and youth.

Taking New Clients! We all strive to be happy. But some days life can feel so overwhelming its hard to breathe. We may feel anxious, sad or frustrated, and it's hard to cope with day to day challenges. Our feelings can impact our relationships with our family, our ability at work, or time with our friends. They may cause self-doubt, social issues and health concerns. Often we have no idea where these feelings are coming from. We just know we are hurting. But to effectively address these feelings we need to have a better understanding of what's causing the difficulties.

I help adults struggling in relationships overcome their worries and anxiety so that they can have deeper, more authentic and connected relationships. It can be frightening and frustrating to try to deal with the struggles of anxiety and worry in relationships on your own and without guidance to help you cope with these uncomfortable feelings. By creating a safe environment to explore and understand one's underlying feelings, one creates more freedom and choice in how to respond in a relationship as opposed to repeating old painful patterns and reactions, which can leave one feeling more disconnected and alienated.

Many people have found themselves in the exact place you now find yourself – wondering if they should seek the guidance of a professional counsellor for personal, marital or family problems. Here are some of their uncomfortable self-reflections: “Tensions always hover over my relationship with my partner .” “I want to be a better parent.” “I do not look forward to going to work anymore.” “My partner and I keep getting stuck when we try to talk about our problems.” “I want to enjoy being a parent, but often I do not.” “I want to feel happiness and gratitude for my life and the people in it, but I cannot get there.”

Sometimes, life can be very challenging and draining. You might be feeling overwhelmed, tired, confused, anxious or lost. Perhaps you are having issues within your family, or you’re concerned about your child. You might be experiencing struggles in your relationship - having the same fights over and over. You might be trying to rebuild your life after domestic violence, or maybe you’re trying to recover after a divorce or separation. These issues are so painful leaving you scared of the future. This is where I come in, to help you to the other side of this. I offer a safe, empathetic, non-judgmental, confidential and nurturing space.

If you want to be more peaceful and hopeful, more confident or want to focus on personal growth, I can help. I work with clients over 18 wishing to understand themselves better and navigate life's challenges and transitions. We can work together to discuss what happened in your past, what's happening now, and how to move forward. ​

Life can present us with challenges that leave us feeling diminished, confused, and unable to cope. I believe that each of us has the capacity to heal, find purpose, and create a path forward. My practice is dedicated to supporting individuals experiencing challenges resulting from past and current difficult relationships, life transitions, grief due to death loss and living losses such as divorce, loss of health and more; and challenges related to the experience of anxiety, depression, and trauma. I apply an anti-oppressive, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed lens guided by your needs, goals, and circumstances.

We all have times in our lives when we feel overwhelmed, but most of us are more resilient than we know. And it can be daunting to find the right person to reach out to – a person who “gets” you, or a person with whom you're comfortable speaking.

CURRENTLY ACCEPTING CLIENTS. WEEKENDS AVAILABLE. I am an international social work practitioner. I have been practicing and teaching social work for the past 25 years. As I am a reflective listener, I have learned that each client's lived experience is an interesting biography. I, therefore, like to explore with clients the issues and problems they face in order to identify their roots. Naturally my approach to therapy is deeply rooted in people's freedom of choice. I consider myself patient, considerate, practical, and very respectful of clients and their choices.
