Safety...self care...solutions....You’re looking for a therapist who “fits” with your personality and needs? Read on….

In selecting to work with Brenda, a Registered Clinical Counsellor who has been a clinician both in Canada and overseas, and is BCPFFA endorsed to work with First Responders/Public Safety Personnel, you will be choosing:

validation for who you are and what has brought you here
a non-judgemental receptive and accepting manner
warmth and empathy
good-natured humour
sensitivity and awareness of cultural, religious and ethnic differences
a safe environment in which to do your personal work
astute observations, shared with care
skilled professionalism
respect for your boundaries
a well-rounded combination of traditional therapy and newer innovative techniques including psychodrama, a dynamic method for spontaneous insight
support in each aspect of your journey
sincere commitment to you, your style, your growth and your process
tools to maintain your changes

Her comfortable, quiet office is located in Tsawwassen (municipality of Delta), and is easily accessed from the city, south and eastern suburbs -- and even Vancouver Island. PLEASE NOTE: During the self-quarantine period for COVID-19, telephone sessions are recommended. Please feel free to ask for further information.

Persons with disabilities and seniors receive a 10% discount.

As the past President of The Tekera Foundation, a CRA registered charity, 15% of Brenda's income is donated to the Tekera Resource Centre, Kanywa Parish, Buwunga Sub-county, Masaka District, Uganda. She donates to other charities throughout the year -- municipal, provincial, federal and international -- in areas of food provision, human rights, civil liberties, social justice, culture, anti-racism, mental health and medical services. She is a white, Jewish person identifying as her/she, and has no profiles on any social media. She does not text nor own a SmartPhone.

…Additional information. PLEASE NOTE: Since COVID-19, telephone sessions are available. Please contact me for more details with regard to protocols for in-person counselling.

Safety...self care...solutions.... This combo can jumpstart your change. The rapport between you and your counsellor is tremendously important in integrating these three. I call them "the trifecta" of therapy. :o) Moreover, the safety of this partnership will be core in your problem-solving.

With this in mind, I will make every effort to forge a safe working partnership with you. Your needs and achieving your objectives are the focus, with your core values at the centre. As you feel ready, we’ll explore personal care, identity, development, life changes, trauma ... uncovering the decisions and actions these may require of you.

My clients have ranged in age from 17 to 95 (yes, you read that right -- it's never too late!) I also see couples. Blending creative and traditional methods of therapy -- along with laughter! -- has seemed the most valuable mix for people in transition.

Self care, self compassion, cross-cultural assimilation, school and employment-related issues (fyi First Responders/Public Safety Personnel -- I am BCPFFA endorsed), grief, relationship in all forms, emotional understanding, and desired changes unique to your circumstances, can be addressed. Together, our purpose is to find workable solutions that will enhance your life.

Areas of expertise:

anxiety
depression
parenting
unresolved grief
life changes and choices
ageing and its implications
relationship enhancement/termination
chronic illness/sudden disability and the constant adaptation required to maintain a full and meaningful life with these challenges

Phone or email me. Ask whatever it is that you need to know before you decide one way or the other. I'd be pleased to help.

Hope begins here....
