Counselling
Individual
A collaborative focus on specific challenges or life transitions by developing awareness, understanding and strategies working towards agreed upon goals with a specific agreed upon timeline.
While counselling can be experienced as a short-term process (1-8 sessions), it can also expand through establishing new goals or evolving into longer-term therapy (8+ sessions).
90-min single sessions are also available
Psychotherapy
Individual
Collaborative exploration, curiosity and vulnerability to better understand oneself, life experiences, healing, growth and development over a longer timeline.
This deeper allows you to safely explore whats at the core of your thoughts, emotions and behaviours. Depending on the approach, we start with developing a trusting therapeutic relationship while focusing on the specific area(s) of priority. This work can span from a couple months to over a year depending on the participant’s goals and needs.
Consulting
Providing expertise through guidance and support in the development and implementation of stakeholder engagement planning, group facilitation, workshops and spaces for learning and growth.
Consulting is a limited service based on capacity. If travel is required, please ensure consideration for travel expenses are also included.
