Counselling Philosophy:
My approach is holistic, solution-oriented, client-centered, and experiential in nature, meeting clients where they are at in their journey. Incorporating mindfulness techniques I assist clients to increase their awareness of negative thought and behavioral patterns in order to drive change in their lives. Equine assisted psychotherapy is also included in my repertoire of approaches, which allows the client to experientially process externally without judgment and with immediate feedback from the horses. Individuals hold the most appropriate solution for himself or herself and I work with him or her to bring them to the surface to incorporate into daily life.
I do regular consultation with my supervisor for the ongoing development of my professional and ethical expertise and to discuss client concerns in confidential manner. The receipt you will receive will be in my name as a Registered Psychotherapist in the province of Ontario, which is acceptable by most insurance companies (e.g. Sunlife). It is your responsibility to determine whether my receipt is acceptable for your workplace benefits and insurance.
The regular fee for counselling is $180.00
