Philosophy
Ma philosophie est que chacun de nous a le potentiel de vivre une vie épanouie que ce soit l’individu, le couple ou la famille, et qu’il peut nous arriver des moments d’avoir besoin d’accompagnement afin d’y arriver. J’ai une approche de base humaniste centrée sur la personne, ainsi qu’intégrative afin d’emprunter des outils et d’adapter l’approche à vos besoins. Je suis formé en Thérapie centrée sur les émotions pour les couples et j’emploi aussi des outils complémentaires afin d’améliorer la communication et bâtir un attachement sécurisant avec votre partenaire. Une approche systémique est employée afin d’accompagner les familles vers de meilleurs dynamiques relationnelles entre vous en tant que parents et avec vos enfants. Je serais honoré de vous accompagner.
My philosophy is that each one of us has the potential to live a fulfilled life, whether as individuals, couples or families, and that there may be moments when we need support to get there. I offer a humanistic person-centered approach as a foundation, as well as an integrative approach that allows me to select tools that can serve to adapt the approach for your specific needs. I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples and employ complementary tools to support better communication and build a stronger bond with your partner. A systemic approach is used to accompany families towards improved relational dynamics between yourselves as parents and with their children. I would be honored to accompany you.
Professional Membership
- Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association / Association canadienne de counselling et de psychothérapie
I do regular supervision/consultation with Jeannette Robert, Registered Psychotherapist, for the ongoing development of my professional and ethical expertise and to discuss client concerns in a confidential manner.
The receipt the client will receive will be in the name of my supervisor. The receipts of a Registered Psychotherapist in the province of Ontario are acceptable by most insurance companies (e.g., Sun Life, Canada Life). It is the client’s responsibility to determine whether this receipt is acceptable for your workplace benefits and insurance.
The regular fee for interns counselling is (TBC $100.00) per hour session.
