Heart-Centered Professional Registered Psychologist Lethbridge, Alberta |
The word psychology comes from the Greek "psykhe" (psyche), meaning "soul", "spirit", "mind", "life", and "breath"; combined with the Greek word "logos", more often thought of today in the form of "-ology", meaning "the study of". The current discipline and practice of psychology is understood as the study of our inner mental life, and in it's original meaning, is literally the study of our soul - our deepest self or essence.

What happens in counselling?
Together we will discuss the issues that are of concern to you, and come up with new and more empowering ways of thinking and being, transforming difficult experiences into opportunities for learning and growth. While some people come for advice and prefer a problem-solving approach, others come to feel heard, practice more authentic communication, and to process their emotions and life experiences. Together, we can decide which approach is right for you, depending on what is most relevant for you, and what you would like to achieve in counselling - my approach is adjusted to suit your needs and preferences.
Why attend counselling?
Possible benefits of counselling are: the healing of emotional wounds, resolving past traumas, experiencing peace of mind, clarity of thought, a stronger more secure sense of self, and gaining direction in life. You will learn new skills that will help you face life's challenges with confidence and wisdom.
What can I expect from my therapist?
I maintain an open-minded and accepting attitude towards you as a person and your situation. As we develop a trusting relationship, the more you can open up and share your deepest thoughts and feelings, the more helpful I can be. This experience of unconditional respect and the freedom to explore your inner thought processes without judgment, while I offer reflections and perspectives, will allow your inner wisdom to come forward, and ultimately healing and transformation will occur. I look forward to working with you!
