viewpointscounselling.caPractice information:
My aim is to provide a trusting, nonjudgmental space in which you can feel safe to share your unique and personal story. While there is an innate wisdom within all of us, our ability to see the way forward can become clouded when we are overwhelmed by tragedy or adversity. A deep exploration of one’s internal experience can often be freeing, and provide valuable insight into patterns of relating to the self, others, and the world around us.
I work primarily from an attachment-based, client-centred orientation, which allows us to work collaboratively in drawing connections between your past experiences and your present situation. Depending on your personal needs, we may draw from a variety of evidence-based interventions which support the development of healthy coping mechanisms, increased motivation, personal insight, and interpersonal skills like boundaries and assertiveness.
I completed the Master of Counselling program at the University of Queensland, Australia. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC #18373), I work primarily with those seeking assistance with issues related to stress, depression/ anxiety, anger, relational patterns, past trauma, personal growth, and personal identity.
I strongly believe in the power of a trusting therapeutic relationship in helping people to discover their internal strengths. Please feel free to reach out to me and book a complementary twenty minute consultation appointment so that we can get a better idea as to whether we would be a good fit.
