So what is Counselling Psychology?

---

Counselling Psychology is the fostering and improving of human functioning by helping individuals experiencing distress and difficulties associated with life events and transitions, decision-making, work/career/education, family and social relationships, and mental health and physical health concerns. 
​
I am a member of the​ The College of Psychologists of Ontario​. 
​I provide individual and couple counselling and psychological services to an adult population (21 years and older).​  ​​I offer both short-term and long-term psychological services within a secure, confidential, and supportive environment.

I am a registered provider under Medavie Blue Cross for the Canadian Armed Forces, Veterans Affairs Canada, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and other First-Responder organizations.  I am also a preferred provider for Public Safety Canada.

​I have presented seminars and workshops on various topics of interest, such as stress management, anxiety and worry, time management, and ethics and standards of practice in psychology, and I have taught part-time in the Counselling Psychology program at the University of Ottawa.​ ​

Treatment Approach

---

​​I am trained and experienced with many different therapeutic orientations, such as Cognitive-Behavioural, Cognitive-Processing, Interpersonal, Schema-Focused, and various Experiential therapies, such as Emotion-Focused and EMDR.  In providing services to you, I seek to tailor my therapeutic approach to meet your individual needs.
​
​
I believe that the process of therapy includes the exploration and expression of thoughts and feelings, the creation of insight and new learning, and the development of a plan and taking of action.
​This process exists within a supportive and collaborative working relationship.  Developing and maintaining a strong working relationship with you is of primary importance to me.

In providing you with the services that will best meet your particular needs, I may suggest including other professional services in your general care, or refer you to another professional with the expertise you require.  Of course, decisions concerning your care are always made collaboratively with you.​

​
​My practice adheres to the standards of professional and ethical conduct, and confidentiality is an integral component of this practice.  Information about you or your file is given out only with your written permission, except in certain mandatory, legal circumstances which will be discussed with you at our first meeting.
