Vision and Goal
Sometimes we just hurt. Our deepest pain is often connected to those we love the most. We support families, couples and individuals in working through current difficulties. Our goal is to sort through the complexities to come to a place of peace and personal fulfillment within close relationships.
Confidentiality
At Alicia Dance Counselling Services our priority is quality, professional service. Counselling will be conducted in a confidential manner, adhering to the professional code of ethics of our professional organizations.
Therapeutic Approach
We understand families to be at the core of our experience. Regardless of the structure or form of family, every person comes from a family and longs to belong with someone. From this perspective, we use various approaches, all of which center around listening carefully, supporting the family/couple/individual in personal awareness, management of self, awareness of others, and effective communication. Use of family systems theory, CBT, mindfulness, emotion-focused therapy, narrative and solution-focused therapy.
Our goal is to work with you, within your circle of support.
