Getting Help

Meeting with a therapist to face your life’s stressors is a big step toward positive change. With an understanding of the emotional consequences of your struggles, a trusted therapeutic relationship can help you to redefine who you are, as you learn new skills to help you cope and adapt to a life with more meaning.

For most people, putting effort into social contact and relationships, professional work, community involvement, parenting, recreation, and exercise, gives meaning to life. When we are feeling overwhelmed and stressed, we lose touch with these and our emotional (and physical) wellness suffers. No matter how painful or challenging, in an accepting, non-judgmental atmosphere you can find your voice.

Together, we’ll explore ways to look at your challenges with a different perspective. With an aim for helping you to create a richer, more purposeful life, we will explore what you want out of life – what is important and meaningful to you?  A person living their life according to their values is a person with a sense of purpose, achievement, and vitality. Using a mindfulness-based approach with behavioural interventions, therapy can help you to change the direction of your life and put you back in the driver’s seat. It can help you to increase the sense of control you have over your own life – rather than thoughts and feelings controlling it for you.
