Individual Counselling & Coaching, Victoria BC...
If you have a personal issue - or if you simply want to explore your potential - you're in the right place!
I am always amazed to find that the answers to my problems and hearts desires are usually already within my self. Being able to see them is the difficult part!
In the West we are so task and results-oriented - and our life is so fast paced - that we rarely get to slow everything down and listen to our own bodies and intuition. We're a lot wiser than we realize!
We think that our brains - our cerebral thinking - is where all our intelligence is. We forget that our 'ancient brain' (the brain stem) houses all of the autonomic responses necessary to keep us alive. It's been adding to its repertoire since before we were born. And humans have been doing this successfully for thousands of years. When the brain/mind thoroughly understands the changes you are making, you will internalize them more thoroughly.
Trust Oriented Therapy is a blend of well known and accepted therapies such as Gestalt Work, Person Centered Counselling, Milton Erickson's work, Group Process, Focusing Oriented Therapy (Eugene Gendlin and Carl Rogers) with NVC (Non Violent Commmunication), Mindfulnesss, EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) and glued together with the unique trusting, caring presence of a Trust Oriented Therapist.
With the help of a Trust Oriented Therapist you will have a better chance of feeling and sensing your own body's answers to the dilemmas you face.
To become a Trust Oriented Therapist takes years of practice and it is a very new and amazingly successful type of counselling. My favored style of counselling is a blend of TOT, NVC, Imago-Style and personal coaching. My son (who has a degree in psychology, worked as a counsellor in one of the best addictions facilities in BC and who was a professional athlete for years) helps me in my office and I would be very happy to refer you to a fellow trust Oriented Therapist in Vancouver should you choose. They're all excellent and we look forward to meeting you!
