Wayne believes that individuals, couples and families have the capacity to overcome and be strengthened by life's challenges. Sometimes, people may need objective direction to work through these difficulties and to have sunshine in their lives again. Overcoming obstacles will create a more fulfilling and successful life journey for you and the important people in your life.

Wayne's approach comes from many years of education and belief that counselling or therapy is confidential, objective and professional clinical advice (not to be confused with telling you what to do!) that allows you to openly discuss, think about, and work on your goals, relations with others, your concerns and your health. Professional counselling involves an assessment, a plan, and well researched tools that help you overcome or manage problems. Sometimes people can become stuck and this assistance is intended to move you forward in your life so that old patterns and ways of functioning can change.

I will help you with finding the root of the challenges you are facing, promoting your self-growth and independence, increasing or re-locating your coping skills, and guiding you to find your own solutions. This approach will allow you to manage your life outside the sessions so that down the road you will not need our services. This work may only take a few sessions or it can take a little longer depending upon your goals and circumstances. Building a trusting relationship with you is a big part of this process.

Much of the help that I am asked to join in, relates to relationships. This work can be done individually (especially if your partner does not wish to partake in counselling at this time) or with couples and marriage partners. Couple Counselling or Marriage Counselling may involve:

• Improving Communication
• Conflict
• Infidelity or Affairs
• Re-building trust
• Family disputes
• Parenting
• Blended Families 
• Separation or Divorce
• Preparation for Marriage
