I can help you to overcome your current challenges and stressors, improve relationships, and live more mindfully. Some of my greatest passions are helping others to improve communication, boundaries, self worth and emotional literacy. Together we will explore the interaction of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours to determine what are your strengths, and what are some of the areas you would like to build upon. My aim is for you to develop insight into your values, patterns, and beliefs, and to then evaluate which ones are helpful and which ones are holding you back from your greatest fulfilllment.

The deepest desire of a human is to belong…to be heard…and to be accepted… Sometimes life presents us with difficulties that are tough to manage or resolve on our own. There are times when we need to ask for help in order to find ourselves and to move forward. As a person and a counsellor, I know that life’s challenges can happen at all stages of our lives at multiple levels and that every situation is unique to us alone. Circumstances that can challenge how we think, how we perceive, how we believe and how we respond.

Paula Ann Greene
Childhood and adult experiences can impact the way we manage life. At times it can affect our connection with others, our ability to feel happy and our mental health. Reaching out for help can be a first step in recovering our sense of self, building health coping tools and feeling connected to our lives. Though counselling change is possible.

Heartpath Counselling
Counsellor, RTC
Verified
Would you like to understand your triggers and what core beliefs might be contributing to your stress, anxiety or depression? For many, the current world crisis is amplifying their pain, stress, grief, fear and despair. As children, we were not taught how to cope constructively with stress and strong emotions so naturally, without the skillset, many people are feeling lost. By learning the skills and gaining capacity, more freedom and joy is possible. Regardless of circumstances, there is always a way to move forward, one step at a time.

Pre-Licensed Professional

I believe individuals should feel empowered through the counselling process, therefore, I work collaboratively with my clients, allowing them to be the center of their own treatment while I seek understanding of underlying needs and emotions. Due to this, I gravitate towards emotionally focused and family systems approaches in order to examine how a client’s attachments to their caregivers and family unit has affected their behaviour, emotional regulation and relationships.
Heather Granger
Counsellor, RTC
Verified
I believe in an individualized, caring and respectful approach when working with clients to become more resilient and effective in their lives. Many people believe that the skills and motivation needed to maneuver all of life’s obstacles are automatically within all of us. But many of us learn ineffective ways of communicating, develop unhealthy patterns or find ourselves stuck with no idea of how to move forward. Having a dedicated time to examine patterns, build skills and develop a deeper understanding of ones’ strengths can help build a greater sense of wellness and clarity in our lives.

It can help you develop an awareness of thoughts, feelings and behaviours that keep you stuck . You will be assisted in developing deeper insight into the patterns that are causing you to experience emotional distress and preventing you from making changes that will help you move forward in a positive direction.

How much time, energy, and effort have you spent trying to make positive changes, or to achieve some goal but something keeps holding you back? Is this leaving you with things like: unhappiness, stress, anxiety, low self-confidence, low self-esteem, self-doubt, negative thinking, feeling lost of disconnected? Have you ever wondered what is really causing these uncomfortable feelings and blocks? How are they effecting your life? If you could let these blocks go how would you like your life to be? and what would you like to achieve?

Vulnerability can make us feel very uncomfortable, but if we view it as a transition, into higher self-esteem/confidence & therefore more life resilience then it is much healthier to forge ahead to find a therapist who can support us. Finding the best fit in seeking a therapist is the most important step in relieving your stress. Many of us struggle with unhappiness, anxiety, depression, suicide ideation, sleep deprivation, separation, divorce, conflict resolution, trauma, relationship, and parenting issues, emotion regulation, communication and assertiveness, boundaries, personal development, caregiver burden and so much more

If you are dealing with a recent trauma or trauma in the past that you believe may be holding you back and are easily triggered by things you feel should not be so hard to deal with, if you are sad or constantly anxious and worried, or if you are feeling that life is pulling you down and you are not sure how to get back on track, maybe trauma, old beliefs and habitual patterns are keeping you from finding enjoyment in your life. These things are challenging to deal with on your own sometimes but by building awareness and working through them with support and building inner resources you can live life with more peace and enjoyment.
