Counselling and Psychotherapy

How do you talk to yourself when you make a mistake?

Whether you are dealing with issues in your relationships, your career, with self-esteem or grief or a combination of all of these affecting your overall experience of life, you are probably wondering where to start and yearning for a sense of clarity so that you can get your bearings again.

You may not be aware of it but your core issue probably stems around communication and specifically how you talk to yourself, especially when you make a mistake. It’s amazing how negative and even violent you can be with your own self-talk. The conversations that occur in your mind are often surprising because they are almost subliminal or subconscious but they have a powerful effect on your experience of life. Using the lens of Nonviolent Communication authored by Marshall Rosenberg I work initially to raise your awareness of what you are telling yourself.

I am a divorce coach, working with couples and families in the context of separation and divorce in association with the Okanagan Collaborative Family Law Group.
I am a bereavement counsellor dealing with grief and loss in association with Okanagan Hospice Association.
And I also work independently addressing all of these issues in the context of self-esteem and self-empathy.
