How can Counselling Help?
-
Develop Self-Awareness
Through a therapeutic relationship with a trained professional, clinical counselling can help you deepen your awareness into what is influencing your emotions, mental processes and subsequent behaviours in life.
-
Learn New Coping Skills
While much of therapy can be about undoing old ways of being that no longer serve you, a strength of therapy is how it can help us learn and practice new coping skills to help with whatever challenge has come up.
-
Re-Process Trauma
I am a trained and experienced EMDR therapist - a modality that can help anyone who might be feeling the after effects of a trauma event (or events). EMDR, while different from other talk therapies, helps to reduce the distress from the event(s) by re-processing the memory in session.
-
Practice Self-Compassion
One of the hardest things humans can learn in today’s society is self-compassion. How do we treat ourselves? Do we talk to ourselves as kindly as we do our friends or loved ones?
-
Tend to Grief and Loss
Losing a loved one, or experiencing complex and difficult life transitions, can be all consuming. Loss irrevocably changes you and sometimes we need to tend to our grief with a professional in order to learn to live with it.
-
Address Relational Challenges
Human beings are relational creatures. Some of the most common issues that come up in therapy are relationships with partners, parents, siblings, friends, and even oneself.
