Working With Me

I’m I Right for You?

Let me start with the reasons you might not want to work with me.

I am task oriented, solution focused, and a bit cheeky which isn’t always the right fit.  I have fibromyalgia, I go long stretches feeling great and then suddenly have a flare-up that forces me to reschedule with little notice. This happens 2–4 times a year. You may never be affected, or you might book during a rough patch and get rescheduled (free of course) 2 or 3 x.

I require 5 to 30 mins of daily homework such as reading/listening to a book, worksheets, do activities even when you don’t’ feel like it, and a commitment to regular sessions. While I’ve had clients have 50-100% recovery in one session, we all relapse. Real change doesn’t happen from talking for an hour or two —it happens when you implement the tools over time to build healthy neuropathways.

And lastly, I don’t offer long-term supportive talk therapy or philosophical exploration of childhood or trauma just to understand why you are the way you are. My work is focused and designed to help you outgrow me— by building skills to work through your painful emotions, limiting thoughts, and self-defeating beliefs wherever they come from.

My services, coaching or counselling, are not appropriate for those with an intent to harm themselves or others, or for individuals dealing with serious mental illness. If you’re unsure, we’ll talk about it during the consultation and make sure you get the right support. If I’m not the right fit, here are trusted TEAM-CBT resources:

• feelinggoodinstitute.com (USA/Canada)
• abide.network (SDA)
• TEAM International Directory (global list)

Still here? Great. Let’s talk about what working with me is like or you can explore more about who I am here.
