My Belief

I believe that each and every one of us started out innocent and free.  Over the years we have, for one reason or the other, allowed others to cloud or cause us to doubt our own feelings. 

When this “clouding” happens to a person it causes a snowball effect and our subconscious becomes totally overwhelmed.  Possibly even unable to deal with day-to-day activities.

With counseling you can look at what caused the clouding and create a much better life for yourself and for those around you.  Get rid of the shame, the guilt, the anger, and the sadness. 

I help people to recognize the innocence they started out with and teach them to keep that with them always.

“The counsellor's job is to help people make sense of their experiences and open up possibilities for positive change." Quoted from kids help line

I am a counselor.

What does a counselor usually do

• Listen effectively to what you are saying
• Interrupt you when it is useful and appropriate
• Facilitate your untangling of thoughts, feelings and worries about a situation
• Offer you their insights into how you act, think and feel
• Teach, show and help you express your emotions in your own way
• Teach, show and help you work out your own solutions to problems
• Teach, show and help you accept what cannot be changed
• Teach, show, help and support you and your relationship while you do all this

I don’t think I need to say much more than that.  Feel free to call me, or email me and I’m here to listen.
