Hi, I am originally from the UK and I have completed a Master’s in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor in British Columbia and a qualifying Psychotherapist working in various other provinces in Canada. I previously trained at the Vancouver College of Counselling Training (VCCT) in 2017 and gained my RTC Accreditation with the ACCT with a Diploma in Professional Counselling 2018.
I believe the power of talking things through in detail opens up many solutions inside us. We need time for someone to listen and hear us out with trust, coherence, and consistency. I think that people who want to work on themselves can achieve many more things in their lives and assists them perhaps in breaking a certain cycle or way of life that has prevented them from doing so. I think that everyone would benefit from counselling and it is very powerful and progressive in a person’s life. My view of counselling is reminding a person that they can achieve many things by becoming more aware of looking at their inner dialogues and certain actions. We as humans tend to get ‘stuck’ and sometimes ‘lost’ into particular lifestyle cycles that then become the ‘norm’ for us without actually realising that all of this can change with differing techniques in counselling.
