WHAT IS COUNSELLING?
Counselling is the skilled and principled use of relationship in the service of self-knowledge, emotional acceptance, and growth. It prioritizes the development of personal resources for the improvement of self and community.
MY APPROACH
Sessions with me are collaborative, with an emphasis on the client's exploration and integration of new concepts. Early sessions may focus on one's ability or desire to make changes, with later sessions exploring the emotional roadblocks or limiting beliefs that can get in the way of making the changes that will bring new results. At all times, I consider the client to be the expert in their own life and look for ways to integrate their own wisdom to each session.
From a clinical perspective, I treat the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for insight and growth and take an integrationist approach to counselling. This means that I bring tools and perspectives from a number of different therapeutic models into each counselling relationship based on the needs and goals of the specific client. Regardless of the particular modality being brought into the session, my focus is always on the client.
