Counselling

It can be an intimidating process to start counselling, however the results are well worth taking that first step. Therapy can be life changing! At Encounter Counselling Services we provide a safe, non-judgmental, confidential, and accepting environment in which to change and grow.

We work together with you to create a PERSONAL treatment plan from evidence-based modalities that addresses life challenges through therapy. Treatment should be as uniques as the individual, and we draw on various evidence-based approaches to meet your needs.

 

The goal in therapy is to develop new insights, tools, and strategies that will assist you in making changes that will lead to a healthier, more fulfilling life.

 

At Encounter Counselling Services we appreciate the diversity and uniqueness of each individual.

Art & Play Therapy

Art therapy is an evidence-based modality that encourages the expression of emotions through a variety of artistic activities. It facilitates self-exploration and understanding. Counselling and art meld together allowing both adults and children to benefit from its therapeutic value.

 

"Play therapy allows children to express and process feelings, thoughts and experience through their natural desire to play. Therapeutic play empowers the child to overcome challenges."

Play helps children build mastery and the sense of power.
