Coaching and Counselling
as the Therapeutic Process
Integrating coaching and counselling allows us to address both immediate demands and longer-term direction. We start with your current reality, comprised of work, relationships, and life pressure, while also recognizing what is already functioning well. From there, we clarify where you want to be and identify the gaps that may be keeping you from moving forward. When useful, we also examine long-standing patterns or early messages that continue to influence decisions today. This balanced approach supports insight, clarity, and practical action in a way that feels thoughtful, relevant, and sustainable.
What's Happening for You Now?
Do you feel "stuck"? It could be for many reasons; each individual's struggles are completely unique. That is why nothing can be "cookie-cutter" about this process!
Do you find yourself thinking, "There has to be more to life than this. What is missing?"
Have you chosen your jobs or even your entire career just based on the fact that you have no idea what it is that you want or what you would be good at?
Are you wondering what career options would be good for you and if so, how do you make it all happen, in terms of education and steps to get there?
Do you realize that you have no work/life harmony and your personal relationships are suffering?
Have you felt yourself wondering why it is you don't feel quite right within your current organizational culture? Are you struggling with difficult dynamics with senior management?
Living with Clarity
How I Work
I use a combination of Positive Psychology, CBT, ACT, Narrative, Self-Compassion, and other therapies to create change. My values align well with a positive psychology approach; we don't want to always be looking at "problems" and what isn't working; more importantly, we want to focus on building on your strengths because you have a lot of them - sometimes you just don't know how to identify them or you've forgotten to acknowledge them! I believe that we all have a vast amount of resources within us; we just need some help in finding them.
The Process
​
You and I will work together collaboratively and I will support you in whatever way you are needing as this process is client-led and about you! I will help to motivate you, but also to offer alternative ways of looking at situations if needed - in other words, I will gently challenge you to move beyond your comfort zone.
Results
You will learn to:​
-
apply strategies to manage your stress,
-
check into limiting beliefs and your "inner critic",
-
set solid goals/action plans,
-
find more connection in your relationships, and
-
develop self-compassion.
​
All of this will help you to have more clarity and to ultimately build hope for the current and future day!​
Guilding Thoughts
Life can be demanding and, at times, deeply painful. I don’t minimize that. At the same time, I hold a steady belief that even amid strain and uncertainty, people are capable of reconnecting with meaning, direction, and a sense of self that feels more aligned. My role is to support you through this next chapter with care, clarity, and respect, helping you move toward a life that feels more grounded, purposeful, and genuinely your own.
