Crisis Intervention
People who experience a crisis perceive it as a negative event that generates strong emotions, pain or both.
They also feel helpless, powerless, trapped, and as if they are losing control over their lives.
Counsellors are trained to provide resources, coping skills, and support clients to assist them through their crisis.
A deeper therapeutic relationship can emerge from a crisis intervention session.
Counselling
& Psychotherapy
Counselling is the skilled and principled use of a relationship to facilitate self-knowledge, emotional acceptance, growth and optimal development of personal resources.
The counsellor’s role is to facilitate the client’s work in a way that respects the client’s values and personal resources. The goal is to help clients to navigate their lives to find joy and happiness.
Workshops
& Lectures
I am available for public lectures and education events on topics such as mental hygiene, occupational stress, burnout syndrome and parenthood.
Let's get in touch to discuss how we can work together.
What to expect
Sessions last for 50 minutes. We can meet outside, inside or online.
Therapy and counselling is about making a positive change in our personal life. We will work together towards the goals we set together. The process takes effort, but you won't be alone in it. If you are willing to try it I will be there with you.
Before starting counselling there might be some questions about how the process works and if I am the right counsellor for you. That is also why I offer a free 15 minute confidential phone call to answer your questions.
Price: $135 per session (GST included)
Sliding scale spots might be available.
Extended Health Benefits
If you have extended health insurance coverage, it is quite likely that your insurance company will cover the cost of several counselling sessions in part or in full. Check your benefits package to see if Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCC) are included in the services available.
