"It (having an addicted child) is so stressful and you can crumble around this. Parents get divorced, families explode, so we need to get help by going to therapy or going to Al-Anon meetings or whatever it is. The hopeful part about that is when you do have that help, you will feel better. It still doesn’t make this easy. Nothing makes this easy, but you can make better decisions. You can suffer a lot less." |
Counselling sessions are a safe place where you can sort through the thoughts and feelings to find some answers to your questions. Using different strategies and tools, we work collaboratively to find a path that works for you.
Whether you are someone with an addicted loved one, a person in active addiction or someone in recovery, counselling can help you sort through the patterns and 'dig deeper' to uncover the root of the issues and behaviours. I believe everyone has the answers within them as to the 'why and how.' My role is to guide you to those answers in a compassionate, non-judgemental manner. Typically, counselling is a process and it can get difficult before it gets better. Relief is there. It just takes time. Don't leave before you find your relief. Sessions are 30, 60 or 90 minutes and are done over Skype, Zoom or in person. |
One-on-one counselling for someone with an addicted loved one is beneficial when the family member feels like the storm is raging and there is no where to go and no one to talk to. Counselling can give you somewhere to start the process of talking about the cycle of addiction in your family and help you find strategies and tools to help you cope, while helping your addicted loved one move towards recovery.

Phone support is for in-the-moment coaching when you are stuck in a situation and don't know what to say or do. You can use these coaching sessions as a way to practice the new skill you are working on or find a new way of doing or saying something because you want a different result than what you have been getting.
These 'micro-sessions' are not designed for big exploratory work. Rather, this is a time to ask questions, get direction or solve day-to-day challenges. Phone support can be a wonderful addition to someone's recovery. Primarily used as short coaching sessions, these 15 tor 30-minute phone calls give the client a resource to bounce ideas and thoughts around with. |
