— The Benefits of Counselling
As both a Registered Clinical Counsellor and a Certified Hypnotherapist, I am able to work with you to uncover the root of your uncomfortable feelings, and give you the tools and techniques to live a more purposeful and balanced life. I have been working to support families and individuals in Surrey, White Rock, Vancouver and the Fraser Valley for over a decade. It is my goal to help you to find a new balance in your life: in your friendships, relationships, fitness, health, self-esteem and personal performance goals.
Whether it’s flying free of fear, driving over bridges, speaking in public, enjoying relationships in new ways, having a healthy relationship with food and body image, or any number of other positive outcomes, I am able to quickly assess what a client needs and create a specialized program to move toward lasting change.
I feel it’s important to understand what to expect during the counselling process. In our first sessions, you will begin by sharing your current experience of life, and how you would envision your life if you were able to move past your negative thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
Following this, I will take the information you provide, and design a realistic and effective plan to achieve your goals, incorporating any number of appropriate and useful techniques based on my training, education and experience.
I will fully explain the suggested approach and answer any questions you may have so you know what to expect and are comfortable with beginning the process of change in a safe and comfortable way.
Because my focus is always on finding the right techniques to help you feel better right away, I find that many issues resolve in as little as four to six sessions, although it always depends on your specific set of circumstances.
Resolve Anxiety
— Virtual Counselling
In March of 2020 Covid closures moved my practice into virtual sessions overnight. Our system, Jane App made the transition easy and secure.
I quickly realized that many clients resonated with the convenience, comfort and privacy that virtual sessions offered. No more rushing to and from appointments. No more worrying about running into someone you know in a busy waiting room before or after appointments. No more office hallway noise.
Some clients used our time together working on things while they were on a walk, in a park, a car, a private office or somewhere in their home.
Virtual sessions allow for deep connection to effectively mirror all modalities used in person. Prior to Omicron I considered a partial return to work with some in person sessions, however when I asked my clients which they would prefer, the majority of my clients wished to continue with virtual visits.
We all hoped that Covid would be over by now. Since it is not, and since it is crucial for counsellors to see facial expressions to do our work properly, I will be continuing with virtual sessions.
