OUR APPROACH

Client Centered | Creative | Honest and Genuine | Holistic and Collaborative

Client Centered

We believe our clients possess the innate wisdom and expertise to support their own healing journey. Our counsellors meet clients where they are at and help them achieve the goals they set out for themselves. You tell us where you want to go and we will help you get there.

This is a picture of a brown skinned woman with brown hair who is standing. She is wearing a green jacket, brown pants, white t-shirt with glasses. She is holding a grey laptop and looking into the laptop. There is a thought bubble coming directly from the laptop. In the thought bubble there is another picture of two women hugging each other.

Creative

We are out of the box thinkers and use innovative and creative thinking strategies to help clients reach their goals. We believe every problem has its own unique solution and this type of problem solving (in collaboration with our clients) is what we do best!

Honest and Genuine

We know the importance of building safe, honest and trustful relationships with our clients. We don’t want you to be anyone other than yourself and you can expect the same from us. Our counselling process is open, genuine and transparent.

Holistic and Collaborative

We believe that mind, body, spirit and community all intersect together and work best as one team. No individual part is successful by itself and finding the right balance requires implementing both individual and community based approaches. We consider the whole you, not just parts of you.
