Jane hold a Masters in Education (Counselling) and is a Canadian Certified Counsellor. She is a certified addictions counsellor, and has specialized training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Her practice is supervised by a psychologist and as such fees are eligible for reimbursement by most extended health insurance plans. Jane has had a private counselling practice for the past sixteen years.
She has extensive experience with assessments, having worked for the federal government part-time as an Employee Assistance Counsellor for many years. She uses an initial assessment phase to establish rapport and carefully listen to what is bringing a client or couple to counselling at this time, and what clients are seeking to achieve. Once goals are established, time frame and approach is discussed. Jane uses a variety of approaches depending on issues and personality.
Some clients want a solution-focused approach, with tools and ideas. Others want to connect and process emotions to free themselves from psychological burdens. Some want to identify and learn from their personal patterns.
Successful counselling? A client should leave Jane's office feeling deeply understood, that the root of the problem is being identified and worked through, and that they are being treated with care and respect by a safe and consummate professional. They should be seeing results.
Typical issues Jane works with include
- Couples and individuals dealing with communication, emotions, intimacy or infidelity
- loneliness, being single
- Parents dealing with challenging teens
- Individuals recovering from the loss of a relationship
- Grieving loss of a family member
- Employees dealing with difficult workplaces issues, burnout, or career exploration
Jane has extensive experience with addictions from a family perspective and is knowledgeable about area resources.
