FAQs

What kind of counsellor are you?

I strive in offering my clients a soft place to land, explore and grow. I am a person-centered counsellor who understands that only you are the expert of your life. The answers live inside you, I am here to support you in the journey of self discovery. I thrive in exploration of attachment styles, negative thought patterns, coping with anxiety and the hardships of motherhood.

What is the purpose of a discovery call?

A complimentary 15 minute discovery call (virtually or by phone) is offered to anyone interested in working with me. This helps us both make sure we are the right fit. During this call we will learn more about each other and the collaborative counselling process. There are no strings attached, you have the freedom to decide if you want to move forward.

How can i get the most out of the counselling Experience?

I have found that clients with the willingness to recognize that change is needed and understanding that support is required to take the next steps. The counselling process often involves overcoming the anxiousness of getting out of the comfort zone and engaging in new thinking patterns and behaviors. Clients need maintain and sustain motivation. Without it, the counseling process could be sidelined when the real work begins.
In addition, change will not happen without continued patience and commitment. Commitment may be a series of repeating decisions to persist and move forward. Lastly, the client has to have faith in themselves, the counselor, and the process. Taking the step to begin and continue with counseling requires the belief that it can be successful.

How frequent are the sessions?

To experience progress, a client is most likely to benefit when they commit to a period of regular weekly or bi-weekly sessions. Once a client has gone through a course of therapy and experienced progress in the areas they came in for, they may then benefit from less frequent visits that can be thought of as "check-ins" or "boosters”. With this being said, these are simply suggestions, you have the ultimate choice.
