Pain Counselling

Whether the pain is emotional or physical, feeling empathy and understanding can go a long way towards self-acceptance and resolution. By coming to terms with the pain of having pain, the process of healing can truly begin. Being able to relate to another person who truly understands what it is like to live with pain, clients are able to find a supportive twinship along with the comfort of feeling deeply understood. Private counselling provides a safe relational space for people to explore their sources of stress and consider the mind and body’s role in the predisposition, perpetuation and exasperation of tension and pain.

Stress Consulting and Wellness Coaching

Utilizing a highly effective counselling model developed by The Canadian Institute of Stress, during decades of clinical research, this personal program begins with Dr. Richard Earle's extensive assessment process and then guides participants through a process of recognizing their stressors, understanding the impacts, finding the motivation to make changes and then implementing a co-created, supported action plan. Return on investment is the key to a satisfying life and this proven program uncovers the simplest ways for each specific participant to benefit the most with the least effort.

Personal Relaxation and Meditation Training

Private coaching is available where, depending on the specific needs of each client, self-care techniques such as autogenic relaxation, progressive relaxation, mindfulness and meditation are taught in a one-to-one setting. These approaches to eliciting the Relaxation Response are supported with easy to understand explanations and CD resources. Biofeedback graphing provides a visual reference that enables clients to see their progress and assist in the perfection of their relaxation skills, so critical in the successful management of pain or stress.

Self-Hypnosis

This unique self-hypnosis program puts participants in complete control of the entire process. Throughout the course of self-hypnotic coaching, their specific goals and needs, discovered during Dr. Richard Hart’s proven process of assessment, are at the forefront of every session, ensuring a totally tailored solution that suits and serves them best. Along with a self-hypnosis training CD, a custom recorded CD addressing their own specific wellness goals is an integral part of this program that empowers participants to continue benefitting from the power of deep relaxation and positive suggestions long after it’s completion. This program has proven very successful for smoking cessation, pain control and even improving at golf.

Relational Psychotherapy

Relational psychotherapy is a powerful, effective model for working with individuals who suffer from chronic emotional, psychological, relational distress or trauma. Emotional distress is often rooted in patterns of relational experience, past and present, which have the power to demean and deaden the self. Together, client and therapist create a new in-depth relationship which is supportive, strengthening, and enlivening for the client. Founded in humanism, intersubjectivity and Dr. Heinz Kohut’s self psychology, relational psychotherapy provides clients the much needed selfobject functions of idealization, twinship and mirroring as they develop their capacity for self acceptance.
