James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people.

My approach to counselling is threefold. Aspect # 1 ... my office needs to be a place of safety where clients are free to process their issues free of Judgment, Force, Expectations, or Filters being placed upon them. Aspect # 2 ... I never tell people what to do. Instead, I will “come alongside” as a fellow human being to listen, rephrase, suggest and challenge. Aspect # 3 ... Behaviors and Feelings stem from Core Beliefs. These Core beliefs (either healthy or unhealthy, need to be explored, processed and at times challenged. Counselling for Healthy beliefs is about boundary setting. Counselling for unhealthy beliefs is about challenging them.
