Counselling

HOW CAN COUNSELLING HELP?

The profession of Registered Clinical Counselling or Mental Health Therapist, has evolved to become a primary healthcare modality in Canada.

The Counselling profession involves multiple interventions for the treatment and prevention of emotional and mental unrest and how physical pain is perceived.

Clinical Counselling provides an opportunity for people to improve their overall emotional, mental and physical wellbeing that may be standing in the way of your long-term life enjoyment or physical pain relief. The important thing to understand about Counselling is that you are in control of the process. Patients living with chronic pain will ideally learn to think, feel, and do better despite the persistence of pain. Improving communication with a healthcare provider is a huge part of that empowerment. We utilize a holistic and client centered approach to develop a safe space within which areas of concern can be addressed. We work with clients to leverage strength as means to overcome barriers and specialize in helping individuals mitigate their vices with a targeted approach.

A Counsellor or Mental Health Therapist is a guide to help you ask questions that lead to solutions for your full recovery from an accident or other life events.

Our Counsellor is currently offering Telehealth options, to be able to serve all our Clinic locations: Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Coquitlam and East Vancouver.
