MENTAL HEALTH CONSULTING / WORKSHOPS
Mental health issues affect the workplace and the workplace has an affect on mental health. Unfortunately, mental health is not something that is addressed in the workplace nearly enough. I offer workshops and/or Mental Health Consulting that help employers understand when mental health issues could be impacting an employee’s productivity or creating inter-relational problems. Very often particular behaviours can be misunderstood, mislabeled and not handled in the appropriate manner. For employees, it is helpful to undersand what they might be experiencing and taking action early may prevent overwhelm, burnout and having to take time off. Workshops can be tailored to your industry.
Career, Sports and Motivational Coaching
Using particular techniques I have developed my own method of working with blocks in one’s area of life, most notable sports and career. There can be blocks that affect motivation and confidence. Often there are particular core beliefs associated with these blocks .I help to uncover the beliefs and then together these beliefs are re-written. The goal is to connect the mind and body so that what you know to be true is also what you feel. Often people will have this disconnect which can plague them in all aspects of life and can be very nuanced and complex.
My Approach
Healing Begins With Acknowledging The Problem
The best investment is in yourself. Without your health you cannot enjoy any other investment
I work from a humanistic approach, employing empathy and compassion employing a broad range of modalities that are specific to your needs. Being attuned to my client is paramount in the therapeutic alliance. As in all relationships, there is a learning curve, there can be ruptures and repairs and navigating this is part of the process.
My role as a psychotherapist is not to ‘fix you’ or to solve your problems but to facilitate change, empowerment and healing. The work is done by you the client, I am just here to apply skills and techniques that will help get you to where you want to be along your journey.
Take the 1st Step Towards a New You
Confidentiality and Trust
I work within the rules and regulations set out by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. This. means that all our sessions are held in struct confidence. I work to foster a trusting and secure therapeutic relaitonship
Collaborative Relationship
In therapy, colloboration is imperative for success. The best results are when clients are part of the process in goal setting and are engaged in the session. Techniques are explored and clients who are open to trying tend to have the best outcomes. However, mutual respect in the session is always maintained. If something does not feel right or is too overwhelming the client is always in control and can stop at anytime. Client autonomy is important in maintaining the therapeutic relationship and ensuring consistency.
Emotional Exploration and Support
Therapy is work. Deep change is going to come from working through some difficult things. Some days all one wants is to vent the day and that is fine however exploring emotions can be daunting, scary and overwhelming. I’m here to support that process along in the best way possible. Therapy takes people to places they don’t really want to go where parts of them live but have been buried. Sometimes it is necessary to unvoer those parts to work out present day symptoms.
