Mind & Heart Counselling

When you listen to both your mind and heart, you will find ways to deal with the challenges life brings. I have over 20 years of training and experience helping individuals and couples to deal with many different issues. Some of these include: stress, depression, anxiety & panic, grief & loss, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship problems, parenting, and decision making. I draw upon tools and techniques rooted in existential psychology, attachment theory, cognitive-behavioural techniques, solution focused approaches and others depending upon the needs and preferences of the individuals I am assisting.

I also have special training in Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR), a desensitization technique which helps resolve symptoms caused by the memory of a traumatic or upsetting experience. Using this technique, I have helped victims of childhood sexual abuse and violent crime, those who have been in motor vehicle, boating and on-the-job accidents, as well as people who are grieving the deaths of loved ones. Any memory that keeps coming up and bothering you, whether or not it is connected to full-blown post-traumatic stress symptoms, is likely to be helped by TIR.
