Counselling Can Help
|
When you're struggling, you're looking for something that will make a difference in how you feel and manage in your day to day life. Whatever you choose, you want to feel confident that it is going to be both safe and effective.
Research has shown that counselling helps people feel better and reduces symptoms most of the time. I've worked with many clients who were experiencing a wide range of issues, and they often report significant improvements in their ability to cope with life's challenges, more experiences of calm and stillness, and more of an ability to be in difficult moments without turning to something they feel addicted to. Counselling is sort of like shining a flashlight around in a dark room; it can help you see what is there, and once you can see what is there you can navigate without falling over things in the dark so much. Counselling can also be an opportunity to learn the truth about things, as you discover what you really feel about something, as you hear yourself saying words out loud, or when you receive feedback from your therapist. Counselling is an active process, unlike going to the dentist or taking your car to the mechanic. You're always the expert on your own life and in charge of making your own choices. Counselling helps because exploring issues together can help you discover for yourself what the right thing to do is, and you don't have to feel so alone in it. A great deal of change can happen when we feel understood and like we matter. We can develop the ability to have compassion and care for ourselves, a sense of connection with our bodies and the sensations that live there, and the ability to tolerate the discomfort that life brings. These things are all skills that can be learned and developed with practice. |

Online Counselling
I offer both online counselling and in-person counselling on Bowen Island. While many people enjoy in-person counselling sessions, online sessions have been found to be as effective as in-person sessions, both in research and in practice.
Online counselling allows both the therapist and client to reduce commuting times and can allow people in different geographical locations to connect when they may not otherwise be able to. Online counselling also reduces barriers for people with mobility issues and allows you to do sessions from the comfort of your own space.
