Vancouver Counselling
Vancouver Counselors
Individual Therapy is much different from talking to a friend or family member. Those who know us best can be supportive and give direction but they are often limited in their ability to fully help. Moreover, people who are struggling don’t always want to share every intimate detail with their friends and family and worry about burdening them or over-relying on them for comfort.
Our Vancouver Counselors can help fill the gaps that friends and family can’t. Vancouver Counselling can help you delve into your personal struggle more fully and deeply so that greater understanding and awareness develop to direct change.

Working On You
Quite often, we get clients coming into the office wanting to work on their relationship troubles alone. This happens for a variety of reasons such as not being ready for couples therapy, wanting to sort out personal issues that are affecting the relationship, being unsure about whether or not to continue a relationship, or struggling to maintain a long-distance relationship. Whatever the case, coming in for individual relationship therapy can help both you and your partner. In my work with individuals, I employ many of the same concepts that I use with couples; the Gottman Couples Therapy approach.
Transitions Affect Relationsips
Our Vancouver counselling clients often want to know what we specialize in or what issues we’re most trained in helping people work through. The simplest answer: all the above. Through our education, work experience, and personal lives, we’ve all learned how to help people with a variety of personal concerns. Our training encompassed all the common themes that come up as issues in people’s lives.
We’ve seen people from all walks of life and helped them navigate through emotional problems that arise from life experiences and changes. We’re always doing additional training, reading, and researching to further our knowledge so that we can be well rounded in our approach to helping our Vancouver counselling clients.
Are You Going Through a Breakup?
If you are having issues with your relationship (or lack thereof), you shouldn’t have to continue to deal with the pain and risk things getting worse. People who do not have healthy selves inevitably struggle and often make their relationships suffer. Healing can be sped up with professional support so that you can get back to being a stronger self and more reliable partner in your current or future relationship.
A clear understanding and workable coping strategies can transform your experience of life’s changes. It’s time to stop the pain and heal now. Arrange a consultation and session today.
When Life Doesn't Go According To Plan
Many people have a timeline they developed somewhere along the way about when they expected themselves to be in a relationship, to possibly get married, to have children, and so on. When this plan doesn’t work out or seems shaky, fear, insecurity, and hopelessness start to rise. Working with a Vancouver Counselling therapist will help you sort through these timeline gaps so that you may head in the right direction by making decisions based on a deeper understanding of yourself.
Are You Tired of Being Single?
If you’re single and struggling to find a match, you might start to question if you’ll ever meet “the one”. Perhaps you feel an all-consuming loneliness and start to lose hope for a healthy relationship. With the support of a therapist, you can sort out the barriers that are standing in the way of meeting your partner.
This will allow you to move towards finding the partner you’ve been hoping for and prepare you for a healthy and fulfilling relationship.
Other Impending Decisions
Thinking about Marriage: Marriage is a significant life decision that can bring up difficult emotions. Counselling can help you sort out these feelings so that you head into marriage with more ease and understanding.
To Have or Not to Have Children: Whether to have or not have children, pregnancy complications, the inevitable passing of time and expected age of pregnancy are all factors that impact relationships. Therapy will help you sort through these barriers to give you a greater sense of direction.
Session Format
All personal issues are unique and so the first session really focuses on the complexities and is most concerned with developing a full assessment. This is then used to determine possible goals for therapy and approaches to use that will be best suited to your needs. From there, the work towards change begins.
In session, you’ll be given a safe space to talk about your struggle to an unbiased, compassionate therapist who has the tools to help you get resolution.
Contact us Today
If you are having personal issues that are causing you suffering, if you’re feeling stuck, or if you simply want a supportive non-judgmental ear come in for a consultation. Many issues that come up are solvable on your own or with the help of friends and family but counselling can help you solve them quicker and more effectively so that they don’t keep coming up throughout your life.
