Melinda has focused on building a foundation of anti-oppressive practice and has specialized training in Somatic Experiencing, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Dialectical Behavioir Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing.
Melinda's approach is grounded in her belief that relationships and social engagement are integral to our experience of ourselves and the world; that cultivating curiosity and awareness is essential in change; that our bodies are wise, are programmed for healing, and need to be acknowledged and included in order to process our experiences; that we all have a longing for meaning and purpose; and that pain is a part of the human experience but suffering does not have to be.
It is her view that therapy is an exploration of difficulties and suffering, a celebration of coherence and success, an opportunity to enhance personal awareness, to integrate new understanding, and is a joyful process. Trauma, Separation and Divorce I am a certified EMDR therapist and have been practicing as a counsellor and mediator for more than 25 years.
COM Phone : Website : portreecounsellingcompany. I believe therapy is a place for individuals to learn more about themselves, their feelings, experiences, and fears in a way that is safe and empowering. We all have emotional wounds and self-limiting beliefs from our past that need to be addressed and healed in order to move forward.
Attending to the patterns we have developed from these early experiences are an important part of the therapeutic process in order to create meaningful change. My goal with each client is to work together as a team to develop an understanding of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, which can then help the healing process and elicit positive changes. I approach the therapeutic process as a collaboration between the therapist and client with an emphasis on establishing trust, honesty and openness.
Each person has their own story to tell and can benefit greatly from sharing that story in a safe space. My own experience in therapy has provided me with the insight of what it feels like to be on the other side as a client and any fears or anxieties that may come along with it. I would love to work with you on anything that is keeping you stuck. Lifelong concern for the distressed and disadvantaged led me to the art of healing through the science of Psychology.
My approach is to understand from your perspective, the difficulties you are experiencing, and how they are affecting your life. I then use an integration of therapy models tailored to your needs, to help you find relief from distress and a sustainable resolution.
I am trained and practiced in psychodynamic, EMDR, emotion focused, cognitive and sensorimotor therapeutic modalities as well as mindfulness skills. I also have extensive experience in resolving trauma and PTSD, particularly those related to childhood abuse and domestic violence.
Years of practice, within psychiatric hospital settings, have provided valuable experience with a wide range of mental disorders. Treating Post Traumatic Stress, Dissociative Identity, Bipolar, Major Depressive, Anxiety, Schizophrenia and Borderline Personality as well as keeping abreast of leading edge research have provided perspective and informs all of my practice.
Every person is different. Because of this, Stefan adapts his approach for each client. The following are a few of the primary theoretical approaches and models you may encounter in your sessions, each grounded in solid research. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy: EMDR was developed by US psychologist and educator Francine Shapiro, and has been found to be very effective in the treatment of traumatic stress and other mental health conditions.
EMDR is based on the idea that clients' symptoms are often due to incomplete processing of disturbing life experiences. EMDR is a method that allows for memory processing and integration of traumatic experiences, allowing you to be more adaptive in facing present and future challenges. Gottman Method Couples Therapy: Developed by Drs John and Julie Gottman, and based on decades of research, this method of couples therapy provides you with a roadmap for managing conflicts, deepening friendship and intimacy, sharing your dreams and life purpose, and building a sound relationship.
The Gottman method helps couples to develop antidotes to harmful communication patterns, and heal past hurts while minimizing relapse. Narrative therapy: This respectful, non-blaming approach centres the client as the expert in your own life and helps you re-author painful narratives that no longer serve you.
Narrative therapy sees problems as external to the client and assumes that you have existing resources, abilities and skills that can help resolve the problems you face.
Two key principles of narrative therapy are continued curiosity, and the courage to ask questions for which you do not have the answers. Narrative therapy emphasizes how our social environment shapes the stories we tell ourselves, for better or for worse. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy CBT : CBT is an evidence-based psychotherapy with a proven track record in treating depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, and a range of other mental health issues. This form of structured therapy is based on the principles that psychological problems are in part the result of unhelpful thinking patterns, and are aggravated by learned or unhelpful behaviours.
From a CBT perspective, people's suffering can be treated by learning better coping skills and transforming self-limiting beliefs. Irene has a deep passion for her work, and strives to provide a warm and client centered environment, with her focus on strengths while exploring solutions.

My hope is to support those who have been negatively impacted by trauma and provide resources, support, and relief from the emotional and physical after-effects.
I have a Bachelor and Master's Degree in Social Work from UBC and over 21 years experience helping others with mental health, addictions, and relationship issues in a variety of health care, community and social service settings. When you come in for counselling support, I start by creating a relaxed atmosphere where you feel safe and reassured that you've found someone who can help you truly face the issues you're experiencing.
Sometimes, the stress of life can be overwhelming and your world becomes very narrow. We will work together as a team to develop the skills and flexibility you need to not only improve how you function but to actually enjoy all that home, work, and the rest of life brings to you. Each person and couple I work with is unique and as such, I utilize a variety of different treatment methods based on what will work best for you.

Address : St. My therapeutic principles are: - Understanding the impact of who we are in relationship to others fosters awareness, acceptance, and compassion in counselling, crisis intervention, and client service.
We all experience some form of trauma, transition, or life changing event at some point in our lives. Some real life examples may be: a relationship in crisis, trauma, anxiety, divorce, defensiveness, panic, job loss, depression, low self-esteem, loneliness, unresolved grief, or shame. You don't have to wait till everything seems impossible to seek help.
Anxiety, depressive moods, stress take their toll on living a fully engaged life. A series of events causing resentment, anger, fear, hurt, pain, or loneliness can shut down your ability to process emotional reactions and make it harder for you to go through your daily routine. When life becomes too heavy with self-criticism, worry, and self-doubt to talk to friends, partners, or family, then counselling, talking to a professional therapist, does help.
The therapeutic process involves self-reflection and contemplation in identifying how you function in your life. While you cannot change other people, family etc.
