For many of us, there are times in life when we might feel that  life's challenges are paralyzing and defeating us.  Unrealistic expectations, demands of family and work, and faltering self worth all contribute to our fears.  Sometimes life experience - trauma, loss, grief, personal relationships, finances, and world chaos, overwhelm us.

Through all this we exert our energies trying to control the chaos churning around us.  Counselling is the process that helps us realize that all we really need to control....is ourselves.  Counselling helps us to regulate ourselves, stop the need to manage all that is around us, and to come to a compassionate peace and understanding of ourselves. 

This Counselling Topics section of the website discusses some of the more common problems with which we struggle.  They are included only to help you understand or identify emotions and thoughts that are common to many people.  They represent categories of behaviour that we use to cope.  If we choose to modify them, we begin to see life as a journey to be explored and embraced, not feared.  That is the focus of counselling and therapy.

In this section of the website you will find information on Depression and Anxiety.  Information on other important topics will be posted soon.
