Practice information:

My name is Constance and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and a Canadian Certified Counsellor. I hold a MA in Counselling Psychology from Adler University, and a BA in Psychology from the University of Victoria. I work with individuals of all ages, genders, and sexual orientations with the goal of creating a safe place in which you can explore yourself and your situation in a new light. Choosing to enter therapy is a courageous decision and I congratulate you for taking the first step towards the life that you want.

I work in a variety of areas such as building fulfilling relationships including intimacy and sexual issues, as well as heartbreak, grief/loss and separation. I have specialized training in the Gottman Couples Therapy Method, Emotion Focused Therapy for Couples and Sex Therapy. As well, the focus of my graduate research explored the impact that sexual frequency has on sexual satisfaction, relationship satisfaction and self-esteem.

I also have a background in addictions treatment having worked in a residential treatment centre. I provide counselling for both those struggling with addiction and/or compulsive behaviours, and those trying to support them. In addition, I have expertise in working with adult children of alcoholics/substance users and the impact that parental addiction has on adult children.

Other issues I work with include anxiety and depression, as well as trauma and PTSD. Also, I work with individuals looking to improve their self-esteem, those focusing on personal growth / life balance, and those looking to build their communication skills such as boundary setting and assertiveness.
