Counselling in 2010...

Welcome! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share a little of myself with you.

How can I help you?

Thriving in the West in fast-paced 2010 poses a special challenge: success depends on learning to adapt to your environment, whatever the social and economic demands. NVC, Imago Style counselling and Trust Oriented Therapy fill these needs for efficiency and flexibility perfectly.

Start reading - or watching or listening - to Marshall Rosenberg PhD who 'uncovered' NVC. NVC is also known as Compassionate Communication or 'A Language of Life'. NVC is the perfect foundation for just about every other self-help book available 'out there'. It's also enough on its own to enjoy a satisfying and fulfilling life.

Imago offers the most successful couples counselling on this planet - which if you add it to NVC gives you some of the most powerful tools available.  Imago is great for couples and for individuals - looking to their personal growth and to making 'the right' love match 'next time'.

Are you are a couple who want to start truly connecting again and building a second-to-none relationship with a thriving and happy family? Don't waste precious time!

Is yours a blended family that requires sensitive - and consistent - parenting - particularly a family that has had to deal with trauma? You can head off trouble at the pass by looking at your own situations and finding 'the right' strategy now... Before it's too late.

I've learned that we can absolutely put off dealing with the effect of trauma on our children. But at some point, it will have to be dealt with. And the effects seem to grow, and grow more ugly? If we leave it past a certain point, they may be adults themselves, dealing with the after effects of their own bad decisions, that were based on the effects of their childhood. Do you want to give your children the best start in life possible? NVC and the other parenting books available here really work - even in the toughest of cases.

Are you looking for some outside perspective and guidance now that you are single again? 'Rebuilding (When Your Relationship Ends) shows you how to build a really solid and happy 'you' first so that you can create a truly successful partnership. Of course, I would recommend that you use NVC as well!

Work on yourself and connect with your own heart.  Find out who you really are and what you really want and need. Knowing your own needs will enable you to find real - and lasting - contentment and 'inoculate' you against anger, depression, anxiety and 'relapse'.

Perhaps you instinctively know there's something 'getting in the way' of you reaching your own unique potential and true essence? I would love to help you explore, using the powerful new Trust Oriented Therapy. Over the months I will add real stories here and spend some time explaining this great tool.

If you're a survivor - or caregiver - rebuilding life after a serious trauma (physical or emotional), I can offer you insight. Those are both places that I've 'been' and I would love to share the wisdom I've learned with you.

I'm a registered counsellor here in British Columbia, Canada with some invaluable personal experience which I would love you to benefit from. I often wish, 'if only I'd had more information and a guide to deal with some of the tough life challenges I faced',  I would have ended up in the 'right place' much, much more quickly!

Whatever you choose,

Good luck!
