LIVING IN COLOR
Counselling Services
Counselling serves as a therapeutic approach to assist clients to move towards their goals. Through exploration of a person’s strengths, resources, problems and concerns, one is able to gain self-awareness and raise consciousness. This promotes the deliberate inclusion of more aspects of positive living than limiting unconscious processes. As a person’s self-awareness increases so does the potential to live more authentically and in-sync with life goals and aspirations. Clients will move toward healthy life patterns through intention and commitment to the therapeutic process and incorporating the learning from counselling into daily living. Counselling is not only for those that want to improve their life circumstances but also for those that want to continue living a positive and healthy lifestyle. Self-growth and development continues throughout life and counselling is a tool and resource that aligns people with learning and knowledge that is essential for living up to a one’s highest potential.

People seek counselling for a number of diverse reasons. Some people seek counselling because they sense that they are “off-track” in their life.

Others seek counselling because they are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, general health concerns, stress, compulsive thoughts, suicidal ideation, and hopelessness, to name a few examples.
