Some people see counselling as a “last resort” - reserved for when life is at a crisis point.  However, seeking counselling for personal growth and development is equally important.  By reserving time in your life to explore your goals and what is most important to you, you can determine the direction you want to go next. 

​

Prioritizing your personal growth through counselling not only benefits you as an individual but also positively impacts how you show up in your closest relationships.  

 

A pro-active approach to your mental health means you don't have to wait for a crisis to pop up to take care of yourself.

Just like going to the dentist or changing the oil in your car, your mental health needs to be maintained.  Regular counselling provides you the opportunity to get off autopilot and consider how to live a more authentic, fulfilling life.  

​

What is personal growth?​​

​

Personal growth is how we describe our evolution through life.  We are constantly evolving and adapting to our lives. 
 

• What do you want to be when you grow up?​​

• They’ve hit a growth spurt.​

• I’ve got growing pains.

• We’ve grown apart.

​

Just as we mature into adulthood, so do our our relationships and identity.  However, personal growth doesn’t happen automatically.  Sometimes it can feel like you’re stuck and you don’t know how to gain traction.  Or that you’ve outgrown a relationship.  Or a career.  Maybe you can see the direction you want to grow but something is holding you back.  These are all opportunities for evolution if you approach it with intention.

​

What will we talk about?

​

I want to hear about what’s important to you, where you'd like to grow to, and understand what’s getting in the way.  If you don’t know what kind of growing you want to do, we can start there. We will spend time discovering what’s important to you, clarifying your values, and make a plan that’s authentic and practical.​
