Relationship, Individual, & Family Counselling
Since 2005 I have supported individuals, couples and families to understand the psychological impact of the challenges they face, move out of unhealthy patterns of thought and behaviour and help them move toward authentic self-expression and a greater capacity to create a deeply fulfilling life. We cannot act beyond our level of consciousness, but once we are aware we can make healthier choices which positively impact our lives. I am deeply passionate about supporting individuals and couples to live in alignment with their most resourced, aware and authentic self.
I am a co-founder of Metta Emergence Counselling, along with my husband, Steve Pritchard and we have been in private practice since 2005. I am a Master Therapeutic Counsellor #1074 (MTC), as well as a Registered Counselling Supervisor (RCS). As a Counselling Supervisor for the last 15 years, I also provide professional supervision to counsellors and others working in the counselling field.
For 17 years (2005-2022) I was also an Instructor in a 3-year Counsellor Training Diploma Program where I taught students in all 3 years in both in-person and online classes. Concurrently, I facilitate workshops as well as group work both with couples, individuals and families.
At Metta Emergence our integrative approach draws on therapeutic modalities from various schools of therapy and seeks to improve the effectiveness of counseling as no single theory can meet the needs of a world of diverse individuals and the wide range of life circumstances they face. Our framework is grounded in:
- Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)
- Attachment Theory
- Humanistic or Person-Centered Therapy
- Transpersonal Psychology
- Family Systems Theory
- Mindfulness/Buddhist Psychology
- Polyvagal Theory
- Gestalt Therapy
