Coming This Fall: A New (Furry) Face in the Office
Starting in September 2025, I’ll be joined in the mornings by a new companion—Enso, a sweet Golden Labrador puppy who is beginning his journey to become an Assisted Therapy Dog. He’ll be quietly present during some sessions as part of his early socialization and training, learning how to offer calm, comforting support in the therapeutic space.
He’s still very much a pup—curious, gentle, and growing—so I’ll be working closely with him to make sure his presence remains supportive and not disruptive. If you’d prefer not to have a dog in the room during your session, please just let me know when booking, and I’ll make sure to accommodate that with care.
Thank you for your trust as we take this next step in offering heart-centered support.
Please remember when booking to select the ONLINE session option if you would like a virtual session. Please note that there are some session times that are reserved for online appointments only. These times will only be displayed when the ONLINE session option has been selected.
Keeping us all healthy Please note that you cannot be seen in the office if you have a fever, cough, cold/flu like symptoms or you have been in contact with a Covid-19 person(s).

Counselling
Counselling is the skilled and principled use of relationship to facilitate self- knowledge, emotional acceptance and growth and the optimal development of personal resources. The overall aim is to provide an opportunity to work towards living more satisfyingly and resourcefully. Counselling relationships will vary according to need but may be concerned with developmental issues, addressing and resolving specific problems, making decisions, coping with crisis, developing personal insights and knowledge, working through feelings of inner conflict or improving relationships with others.
The counsellor’s role is to facilitate the clients work in ways that respect the client’s values, personal resources and capacity for self-determination.
