counselling

Maybe you’ve been thinking about counselling for a while.

You may know that something isn’t working the way you want it to, but you’re not quite sure what needs to change. You might feel overwhelmed, confused or stuck. Or perhaps you’ve tried to sort things out on your own and have reached the point where you’re wondering whether talking with someone might help.

Reaching out can be a big step.

The good news is that you don’t need to arrive knowing exactly what to say, what the problem is, or where we should begin. Part of my job is to help us figure that out together.

Counselling gives us a chance to look more closely at what is happening. What are you experiencing? What might be contributing to it? Why does something keep happening even when you understand, at least partly, that you would like it to be different?

You don’t have to work through those questions alone.

I bring more than 35 years of clinical experience, curiosity and different ways of understanding what may be happening. You bring something just as important — your knowledge of yourself, your experiences and the life you want.

Together, we can begin to make sense of things,  attend to underlying issues, notice possibilities that may have been difficult to see on your own, and develop practical ways to help you move forward.
