The
following represents some of the beliefs that
I personally bring to my role as a counselling therapist and a coach:
"It
is a privilege to be in the presence of an individual
who is seeking help and I must always recognize
that my role of a "safe witness" is
a sacred one. "
"We have huge amounts of untapped potential for our lives. The key is to learn how to recognize and further develop our strengths rather than to focus on our limitations."
"Individuals
who seek counselling or coaching services from
me have already taken a significant step towards
resolution of their issues. "
"Some
of the most difficult situations bring the most
growth. "
"My
work, as a coach and a counsellor, is to
help my clients uncover the knowledge and resources
that are temporarily hidden from view and to
challenge individuals, and where appropriate,
to move out of their comfort zone to realize what's possible for them."
"Sometimes
clients need help to develop skills to enhance
their relationship with themselves and others."
If
you are looking for some practical
assistance
please read on:
I
have been been described by many of
my clients as someone who is easy to
talk to, authentic, and compassionate.
I
certainly recognize how important it
is to help clients feel comfortable
about the coaching or counselling process.
I
have been a Registered Clinical Counsellor (#0609),
in the province of BC, since August of 1992. I have
provided counselling services for over 20 years and
presently see clients in Yaletown.
I am also a Certified Professional Coach - having obtained my certification through The College of Executive Coaching, a well recognized and accredited coach training college for individuals who hold graduate degrees.

Thanks so much for helping me understand the power of coaching. I have to say that this came along exactly when I needed it. Creating a vision and helping me get a true sense of my strengths and my values, made me realize that I had no excuse to sit with some of my fears. I have accomplished so much more in the past 3 months than I ever would have done on my own. Thanks!!

Jeff, I feel like I'm on the right path now. Despite the fact that my plan was brewing somewhere in my mind, it was the work with you that helped me formulate a plan and start the work. For that, I thank you.

* I
do not ever request testimonials from
clients. Any testimonial from
a client, that appears on this site,
was provided spontaneously at
some point in the latter stages of the
counselling process.
Note:
The following excerpt from the B.C. Association
of Clinical Counsellors Code of Ethics
explains why this can be an issue.
"Registered
Clinical Counsellors who use testimonials
do not solicit them from clients or other
persons who, because of their particular
circumstances, may be vulnerable to undue
influence." |
