Confidential counselling services provide a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals to explore personal, emotional, or psychological challenges.
Counsellors work collaboratively with clients to help them gain insight, develop coping strategies, and foster personal growth. Common areas addressed in counselling include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, trauma, and life transitions.

Confidentiality:
We will disclose no information about you, or the fact that you are my client, without your written consent. My formal Mental Health Record describes the services provided to you and contains the dates of our sessions, functional status, symptoms, prognosis and progress, and any psychological testing reports. We will require your permission in advance to disclose your information to any other healthcare provider or through your written authorization at the time the need for disclosure arises. You may revoke your permission, in writing, at any time, by contacting me.
There are “Limits of Confidentiality” that occur when there are safety issues that have been disclosed during a counselling session.
Couples Counselling
Focusing on feelings, attachment theory, and reframing other's behaviours from an Emotion-Focused perspective. Roadblocks to communication awareness and reflective listening skill development.
Individual Counselling
Exploring the relationship between thoughts, behaviours, and feelings. Focus on emotional regulation and cognitive restructuring. Becoming aware of unhelpful automatic thoughts and ways to challenge these thought patterns.
Parenting
Learning about a child's capacity at various developmental stages. Focus on co-regulation of the nervous system using accessible and doable strategies.
