Workshops For Couples

Don’t wait for your relationship to be at its end before getting the support you need. Statistics continue to show the increasing number of divorces in our society, which tells us that all couples, even those that feel satisfied in their relationship, would benefit from putting in that extra effort to keep their marriage strong.

Why is it that some couples can stay happily together and others loose their way? Studies show that learning to fight right, practice repair attempts, create friendship, increase positive interactions, and decrease the interactions that most commonly lead to separation, can increase the quality of relationships.

The sooner a couple sees a couple’s counsellor, the increased likelihood that they will be able to turn their relationship around. I help couples identify their patterns and negative habits, and help them to make better choices so that their relationship can flourish. I give couples the tools they need to feel closer and healthier. Couples are amazed at how quickly a small change can help increase the quality of their relationship. People want to feel heard and understood while having their unmet needs acknowledged. Couples counselling enables couples to become unstuck from negative and unpleasant interactions and helps enrich relationships.

Our Services

Virtual Counselling (Online Therapy)

As the world is changing and the ability to come in for in-person counselling sessions is not always possible, counselling services have evolved to meet these changing needs.

Individual Counselling

Maybe it’s to increase our self awareness, work on some self improvement, or support in managing and overcoming one of life’s hurdles. Whatever it is that has you looking for support, I can help.

Relationship Counselling

Too often couples wait for a complete breakdown of their relationship before getting help. Don’t wait for your relationship to be at its end before getting the support you need. Statistics continue to show the increasing number of divorces in our society, which tells us that all couples,

Family Counselling

Family counselling with a skilled, independent, third party can often provide an opportunity for all family members to be heard in a safe, non-threatening manner. Learning skills for family meetings, establishing family rules, and consistent follow through are invaluable for family success.

Child Counselling

Together with the family, we work with children to support them through any difficulties they are having. Through a systematic approach we help address family dynamics, explore the parent-child relationship, and the home environment to help your child overcome their challenges and build life skills to thrive emotionally,

Reproductive Counselling

We provide counselling and emotional support to women and their partners through conception, pregnancy, birth, and parenthood. Through a compassionate, non-judgmental approach, you will be able to explore and resolve any personal distress and make sense of the feelings you are struggling with.

ICBC

If you have been in a motor vehicle accident (MVA) and have an open claim with ICBC, you are likely eligible for counselling that would be covered through Part 7 (accident benefits) – regardless if you were the driver or the passenger.

Workshops for Couples

Workplace Wellness Workshops

Show your team that you value their mental health and self care by having a skilled, empathetic and experienced professional connect with your team. Workshop sizes can vary from small to big groups and from in-person to virtual.

Clinical Supervisor

Supervision is an important part of professional practice for credentialed therapists seeking ongoing development and support, as well as for credentialing therapists and students who may need supervision to complete their training.

Consultation

The most common factor in the effectiveness in therapy is not the education of the counsellor, or even the theories that they practice, rather it’s the relationship between the client and their counsellor.
