Resolution Counselling Services, Vancouver, BC
Bloom Where You're Planted
Therapy is a
process of personal exploration, skill acquisition, and knowledge
attainment in an atmosphere of safety and support, grounded in the wisdom,
resources and compassion of a human development specialist. The
therapeutic environment I create allows you to experience and resolve
current challenges and old wounds. Goals of therapy and methods of
achieving these changes are selected through collaboration to ensure that
your needs are met. This is your therapy, your way.

Beliefs
underlying Sara's work:
-
Healing is an innate drive of the human being, and will occur when the
necessary conditions of safety, support, resources and information are
available. It is the role of a counsellor to provide as many of these
conditions of healing as possible in the therapeutic setting.
-
The human change process is an act of courage and is simultaneously
energizing and anxiety-provoking. It is a privilege to witness and
support the transformations which occur, and holding the space for
exploration and renewal is a commitment Sara makes with each and every
client.
-
At each given moment, human beings respond as best they can with their
current understanding and resources. As these factors change, so too can
behaviour. Therapy is therefore not a process of shaming or blaming for
past behaviour, but a process of acceptance of the old and a curiosity
about the new.
How does
Sara excel?
-
She understands that in life the only constant is change, and
she is a master facilitator of life change in times of transition and
adversity.
-
She believes absolutely in
the human capacity to grow and change, and holds this vision when clients
most need her to do so.
-
She offers compassion,
advocacy, referrals, comprehensive knowledge of human development, and her
full attention to each person she collaborates with.
