About Kristen
Knowing that things aren’t right, that you are unhappy, that you want things to be different is ONE thing. But, going out into the world to find the help you need is another. So, congratulations, brave human, you’ve just taken a huge first step. Maybe you’ve been dealing with low mood, lack of satisfaction with life or relationships, low self-esteem or maybe your thoughts just won’t stop. Will working with me be the help you need? Well, that’s something only you can decide. But what I can tell you is that I have been working in mental health for over a decade and have successfully supported people through a variety of challenges.
What can you expect from a counselling session with me? Well, we can only make headway with whatever issues you bring to the counselling room when you know you can trust me. So, while we get to know each other and the reason you’ve come to counselling, I will make every effort to create a place where you feel safe, accepted and understood. From here, we can work together towards exploring yourself, your issues while accessing your insight and inner wisdom. My approach to counselling is person-centered and strength-based, which means I will meet you where you are at, listen to you without judgment and look for your strengths. Depending on your needs and goals, I will also use different approaches, including: Emotion Focused (EFT), Gestalt, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioural (CBT), and Compassion Focused (CFT).
I have helped clients work through many different issues, including:
– Depression
– Anxiety
– Stress management
– Trauma
– Self-esteem
– Grief/loss
– Relationship challenges
If you think we would be a good fit, please feel free to connect with me at [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you.
