You might be wondering what counselling (commonly called talk therapy) is like. Well, in therapy, you and your concerns are the priority. I provide an atmosphere of privacy, trust and understanding\u2014a safe place where you won\u2019t be judged as we explore and work through the challenges causing you distress.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a journey you don\u2019t have to walk alone.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Adolescents<\/h2>\n

I work with adolescents (ages 11 to 18) on many emotional and social issues. Adolescents experience a great deal of mental and physical changes associated with their development. Puberty can cause confusion as hormonal changes start affecting their moods and thoughts.\u00a0Counselling can help young people make sense of and manage their feelings, behaviours and thinking so that they understand themselves and their world better.<\/p><\/div> <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Individual adult sessions are done on a one-on-one basis. It allows for the building of a therapeutic relationship in a space that is confidential, caring and non-judgmental. Clients are allowed to explore their thoughts and feelings, work through challenges, identify areas for change and set goals to work towards these changes. A treatment plan is built around the challenges and goals that clients want to work on.<\/p> <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Couples therapy is for two individuals in an intimate partner relationship (dating, partnered, engaged, married) who are seeking to overcome challenges they are facing in their relationship. Therapy allows for a safe space for couples to work together, but also individually, in a therapeutic, supportive environment.\u00a0 They create and work towards goals that can improve the quality of their relationship, resolve conflicts, improve communication or enhance intimacy.<\/p> <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
