Safety...self compassion...solutions....So you’re looking for a therapist who “fits” with your personality and needs?  Read on….

In selecting to work with Brenda, a Registered Clinical Counsellor who has been a clinician both in Canada and overseas for 5+ decades, you will be working with a clinician who supports those struggling with life-changing choices (eg., careers, marriage, divorce, retirement), or life-affirming struggles (eg., aging, anxiety, depression, parenting).  Further, you will be choosing:

• validation for who you are and what has brought you here
• a non-judgemental receptive and accepting manner
• warmth and empathy
• good-natured humour
• sensitivity and awareness of cultural, religious and ethnic differences
• a safe environment in which to do your personal work
• astute observations, shared with care
• skilled professionalism recognizing your desire to make satisfying, healthy and meaningful choices
• respect for your boundaries
• a well-rounded combination of traditional therapy and newer innovative techniques including psychodrama, a dynamic method for spontaneous insight
• support in each aspect of your journey
• sincere commitment to you, your style, your growth and your process
• tools to maintain your changes

Giving time and energy for the well-being of others requires balance for you in your personal and work life.  BCPFFA endorsed to work with First Responders/Public Safety Personnel, Brenda will be sensitive to the issues relevant to this group.  Learning about self-compassion will alleviate that irritability and exhaustion, bringing you closer to loved ones and restful sleep.

Brenda's comfortable, quiet office is located in Tsawwassen (municipality of Delta), and is easily accessed from the city, south and eastern suburbs -- and even Vancouver Island.
