Coaching
Many people have a vision of their ideal life and perhaps yours has not been realized yet. Just like the people who push athletes to greatness in sports, life and wellness coaches like myself, push our clients to find the success and satisfaction they are yearning for. Coaching is an opportunity to focus on yourself, your desires, your strengths, goals and dreams and allows you to fully embrace where you are and where you would like to go. I assist clients to develop their innate strengths and abilities. I foster your drive and provide guidance, support and require accountability. We work together to refocus life goals and move past challenges.
Clinical Counselling
Clinical counselling is an interactive and collaborative approach to mental health issues. These issues can be social, cultural, somatic and/or emotional. A counsellor listens and explores all aspects of your life to better understand and therefore create a treatment plan to reduce psychosocial difficulties. The overall aim of counselling is to help the client recognise problematic thought processes and behaviours and to provide opportunities to help them live a more satisfying and rewarding life. A key aspect is helping the client to raise their self-awareness and develop effective coping strategies. Enhancing resilience and focusing on your strengths and supports is foundational for success.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy provides psychological treatment for a mental distress, behavioural disturbance or other problem resulting in psychological suffering or distress. Its purpose is to foster significant changes in the client’s cognitive, emotional or behavioral functioning, interpersonal relations, personality or health. It is an effective way to help people with a broad variety of mental illnesses and emotional difficulties. Psychotherapy can help eliminate or control troubling symptoms to allow a person to function better and holds the potential to improve well-being and promote healing. Psychotherapy is most often a longer duration than counselling.
