Adult Counselling

Counselling can be beneficial for adults for a range of difficulties. Some areas where I can provide adult counselling include stress management, separation/divorce, life transition, anxiety, OCD, depression, anger, and trauma. 

 In my work with adults I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches dependent on the needs of the client. I am also trained in the use of Brainspotting in adults. 

For more information on Brainspotting please see the Brainspotting section on the website.

Children and adolescents can benefit from counselling services for a wide range of concerns. Some examples of areas where I can provide services include stress, bullying, social skills, anger, anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, self-esteem, divorce/separation, behavior concerns, and school refusal. 

 Based on the needs and developmental level of the child a range of approaches may be used including play-based therapy, sandtray, art, painting, puppets, clay, and storytelling. I am also trained in the use of Brainspotting with children which can be used to target trauma and resolve distressing emotions related to pastexperiencese as well as decrease distress related to current emotions or "stuck" feelings. I have successfully used Brainspotting to help children with trauma, anxiety, school refusal, self-harm, sleep issues, and anger.

My office is a child-friendly space and I have a playroom set up for work with children. I also have designated space in the clinic for art, clay, and other expressive therapies.

Parenting is hard, there is no other way to put it. I can offer coaching and support for a variety of concerns and have supported hundreds of parents over my years of practice.

Each family is unique and the approach that will most benefit you and your child will be determined based on your goals and the struggles you are experiencing. I am accredited in Triple P Parenting Program and trained in Collaborative & Proactive Solutions for working with families whose child is experiencing behavioural challenges. I have extensive experience supporting and coaching parents who have a child struggling with mental health concerns such as ADHD, Anxiety, OCD, Tourette's, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder.
