Counselling
When it's about feeling better
Counselling is space for what's underneath , anxiety, stress, self-worth, identity and the transitions that shake things up. I offer reduced-rate counselling at $50 per 50-minute session as a supervised Master of Counselling practicum student with Maisha Counselling.
Book a free sessionWhat people bring to counselling
- Anxiety, worry and stress that won't switch off
- Low mood, burnout and loss of motivation
- Self-esteem, self-worth and harsh self-talk
- Perfectionism and never feeling good enough
- Identity beyond sport, and life after competing
- Injury, grief, loss and unexpected change
- School, work, family and relationship pressure
- Body image and the athlete's relationship with food and rest
How I work
Warm, collaborative and practical. We go at your pace , I won't push you to talk about something before you're ready. I draw on person-centred, cognitive behavioural and acceptance-based approaches, and because I also work in sport, you won't have to explain what a season, a coach relationship or a comeback feels like.
Fees, supervision and confidentiality
$50 per 50 minutes
A reduced practicum rate. No referral needed. Some extended health plans do not cover practicum students , check before you claim.
Supervised practice
I'm a counselling practicum student with Maisha Counselling, and my clinical work is supervised by a registered clinical supervisor.
Confidential
What you share stays between us and my supervisor, with the legal limits I explain in our first session.
Who can attend
Youth from age 8 and adults. Counselling is available in Penticton and virtually anywhere in British Columbia.
You don't have to be an athlete
Sport is where much of my experience comes from, not a requirement. Youth, parents and adults who have never competed at anything are just as welcome.
Athletes are people first , and so is everyone else. If you're not sure whether you want counselling or performance work, we can start by talking it through.
