Counselling for Individuals

One-on-one psychotherapy/counselling can be a wonderful journey of self-exploration. Pain is not our natural state of being. Sometimes our views and our choices become clouded by pain or years of repeating the same tragic patterns. Psychotherapy addresses the personal, interpersonal, and, if appropriate, spiritual dimensions of life. It gives you the opportunity to explore experiences, thoughts, feelings, and relationships. Most people feel conflicting emotions about beginning psychotherapy, even when expecting to benefit from it. It’s normal to have many different feelings about the same one thing.

The course of psychotherapy is guided by your own goals. The psychotherapist respects your right to make your own choices. Each of us is the expert of our own lives. Your individual viewpoint will be unconditionally respected and supported.
