For Individuals
In addition to my work in helping people who have experienced trauma, I also work with clients across a range of concerns in my practice.
If you’re experiencing any of these issues…
• Depression
• Anger
• Anxiety and stress
• Life transitions (career, relationship, family)
• Relationship concerns
• Boundaries and life balance difficulties
…Then individual therapy sessions can help you to:
• Overcome self-defeating or destructive behaviour patterns
• Find your voice: Feel more confident, centered, and less anxious
• Improve your relationships with others and yourself
• Live life more authentically, in line with your values
My view is that therapy isn’t just about solving problem situations or alleviating symptoms, it’s about helping you take your growth further—to help you become more fully you. The kinds of changes that can be made in the course of therapy vary widely depending on what your individual goals are and the directions you wish to pursue.
Individual Sessions: What You Can Expect
In the first session or two, the focus will be on assessing your needs from a holistic perspective, and on beginning to develop goals.
From there, a typical counselling session revolves around helping you to:
• feel validated and deeply understood
• identify and connect more fully with your personal strengths
• find new ways of seeing yourself and/or your situation
• respond in a nurturing and effective way to different emotions
• actively apply practical and essential skills for emotional strengthening & healing
What clients have said about individual therapy with Alex:
“It has been a process of re-learning who I am, what I’m about, and what I stand on in this world apart from what I have been conditioned to think for most of my life- an experience that has left me feeling very empowered and in control of me.”
“Alex understands his clients’ needs and supports and challenges them in their development. I could not have asked for a better counsellor.”
“My overall therapy experience has helped me improve my relationship with myself, grow in confidence, really feel a sense of my own self-worth, and learn to be kind and fair with myself.”
