Welcome to Counselling!
“It is not wrong to admit that our choices change little in this world; there is so much over which we can exert little if any influence. That doesn’t mean our choices are meaningless; they matter and last into eternity because each of our individual life is a thread of a great tapestry that, in its corporate beauty, is glorious. But we can’t always see the future, nor how one seemingly small and insignificant choice ripples across countless lives.” – Dan B. Allender, The Healing Path –
What is Counselling Therapy? (CCPA, 2021)
Counselling Therapy is a relational process based upon the ethical use of specific professional competencies to facilitate human change. Counselling addresses wellness, relationships, personal growth, career development, mental health, and psychological illness or distress.
The counselling process is characterized by the application of recognized cognitive, affective, expressive, somatic, spiritual, developmental, behavioural, learning, and systemic principles.
We acknowledge the Lekwungen and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples of the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations, on whose traditional territories we build homes, lives, and community. We commit to being allies in healing inter-generational trauma caused by colonization. HÍSW̱ḴE.
Positive Psychology!
Mountain meditation is a mindfulness practice that is often included in psychological treatments, such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). In mountain meditation, people are asked to extend their perspective beyond their bodies and cultivate a broader sense of time and space by imagining themselves as a mountain.
