Find a Therapist in Anmore, British Columbia.

Many clients come to me with only having had talk therapy. They tell me that with their previous counsellor they just discussed their challenges and never really got anywhere. I personally believe that the difference lies in the distinction between the terms "counselling" and "therapy." In my opinion, counselling involves talking and gently exploring issues, whereas therapy involves teaching new concepts, applying specific tools and approaches, and making tailored plans. Clients brainstorm with me, apply new ideas at home, challenge themselves, and develop new insights and skills. This is how I work and what I offer, and my clients notice the difference in their daily lives.

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. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

All of us have can attest to the life experience of having been ‘thrown a curve ball’, ranging from a ‘bump on the road’ to full out ‘holy smokes, what just happened?!” In addressing these issues, Bronwyn has a warm and pragmatic approach that assists clients to pro-actively move forward from self-limiting patterns of behaviours and helps clients to process challenging life events using recognized therapeutic interventions. The scope of these issues includes anxiety, depression, grief, unresolved childhood concerns, addiction, and trauma. She puts clients at ease by assuring them of a safe, non-judgmental environment where their concerns are addressed with compassion and respect.

My psychotherapy approach places emphasis on exploring, understanding and feeling more connected to your emotions. I also work from an attachment-based model which can be really helpful for understand how your past (including childhood) relationships have impacted your current life. Understanding how your past experiences and your emotions impact you is a powerful way to help you make decisions in your life now.

Socrates used a question and answer method of teaching --MAIEUTIC TEACHING to help his students find truths within themselves. Psychotherapy, similarly, seeks to help individuals find certain "truths" about themselves. I gently push individuals to explore the various ways they have of knowing and understanding themselves. I will discuss past experiences and explore how the "truths" we have of these experiences influence our present circumstances (work, study, relationships, goals, etc.). Once an individual starts to become aware of how and why they are making the choices they make, they become free to make new, more positive, choices about their future.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

I believe the main function of psychotherapy is to be a reflective tool. Like a mirror I can reflect what you show me exactly as it is, but I can also magnify and expand the image for you. Sometimes we can narrow in on an issue, and observe the smallest details; sometimes getting so close that they don't look small anymore, in all their complexity. Other times an expansive view is is more beneficial, so we can see the overall connections a single issue can have with other various parts of life.

Exploring your past and present experiences with a compassionate professional can provide a safe atmosphere for intrapersonal exploration, allowing you to understand yourself better. When we understand ourselves, our relationships and habits become clearer, leading to new possibilities for the future. Self-awareness brings increased satisfaction in relationships with self and others, as well as enhancing our ability to make confident decisions and move toward our goals.

For every client that I see, I always offer an individualized and tailored approach by draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches in order to enable your mental health healing and functional recovery. Using a collaborative and client centered approach, I will walk alongside you and together, we will explore solutions to overcome life's obstacles.

In the practice of psychotherapy, I believe in an eclectic approach that considers human beings holistically, taking into account emotions, the body, mind, and social and cultural factors. Everyone embarks on a unique journey; at the core of my practice is a commitment to honor the wisdom within each individual and their right to pursue their own path of healing and self-discovery. In this collaborative process, I assist clients in increasing self-awareness, learning skills to manage and express emotions, processing unhelpful feelings and traumatic past experiences, enhancing emotional intelligence, improving relationship satisfaction, and fostering self-empowerment and personal growth.

Life can be hard. Help is here for you. Challenges and problems are part of life. It's good to reach out for help. You are the expert in your life, in your goals, values and aspirations. I am here to provide tools, accountability, support, encouragement and help in revealing to you all your inner awesomeness. I have unwavering confidence in your capabilities and potential, even when you find it hard to see them. Together we create a place to step back and gain perspective, test ideas, create solutions and move towards a life that is fulfilling, meaningful and connected.

My approach to psychotherapy involves understanding my clients by using a client-centred lens, while also taking on a systems approach to understand the bigger picture. I am informed by Attachment Theory, as well as Emotion-Focused Therapy, and use this to help clients gain a deeper understanding of where they came from and how it is showing up in their current situation. I also employ a trauma-informed lens in which I ensure safety and comfortability in processing overwhelming experiences.

While my approach is tailored to each client's needs, I predominantly use CBT with a neurobiological lens as my main approach in psychotherapy. I aim to help individuals identify the interconnection between their thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and environment. Evidence-based therapies such as CBT have shown to be effective in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, anger management, OCD, personality disorders, and ADHD.

Sometimes you know something isn’t working, even if you can’t quite explain why. You may feel stuck in familiar patterns, overwhelmed by your emotions, disconnected from yourself, or struggling in the relationships that matter most. Psychotherapy can provide a place to slow things down and understand what is happening beneath the surface. My approach is warm, collaborative and emotion-focused. Together, we can explore the experiences, emotions and relationship patterns that have shaped you, make sense of the ways you have learned to protect yourself, and help you create meaningful change in how you relate to yourself and others.

My counselling approach always begins with building a trusting working relationship. I believe in being genuine, open-minded, non-judgmental and empathic. I understand that it takes courage to reach out for help. By doing so, you are half way there! My goal as a Counsellor is to begin working with clients where they presently are in their lives, listening to their life stories and processing with them any trauma or stress they might have experienced. Moving forward from there, we address current issues and work together to outline what clients want to change. Both intrapersonal and interpersonal difficulties are addressed. I am open to using a variety of different therapeutic approaches.

Life can be very challenging and confusing at times. No matter how much our friends and family try and help, sometimes it's just not enough. Everyone goes through hard times and sometimes you just need someone you can trust to talk to about the things that may have happened in your life. I provide a safe place for you to explore what isn't working in your life and help you to find balance again.

Sometimes it is necessary to take a journey into the past. So much of what our brain takes in, and accepts as truth, enters the brain subconsciously. Exploring past life experiencing and allowing oneself to fully chew them up (so they can be properly stored and not triggered at in opportune times), is often essential to moving on. This is often a particular issue with childhood trauma. Nothing is as rewarding as seeing one of my clients push through an unconscious block and be able to get on with their life again.

My professional credential is Registered Therapeutic Counsellor not psychotherapist. However I have extensive experience with the tools of psychotherapy including: attachment healing, somatic attunement, object relations, ego state therapy, and depth psychology. I integrate the Diamond Approach, a system for spiritual and psychological maturation, into my work with clients. A core tenet I experience daily is: we each have an individual soul with unlimited potential to free ourselves from limiting aspects of personality, inherited trauma and old beliefs. I've been a student of the Diamond Approach since 1989 and am grateful to the teachers, teachings, and our community of lovers of truth.

Psychotherapy and counseling provide a space to build on your strengths and uncover solutions to the challenges you face daily. It’s a collaborative process where we work together to explore what’s holding you back, untangle the complexities of life, and move toward the life you desire. I view this work as a partnership, walking alongside you as we navigate the peaks and valleys of your unique journey. My approach is rooted in trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and social justice principles, recognizing that our experiences are deeply influenced by the systems and structures around us. This often means looking beyond the individual to understand how broader social, cultural, and environmental

Sometimes the problem isn't one thing you can point to. It's more like a greatest hits album of the same not-so-great songs: conflict that keeps finding you, a tendency to say yes when you mean no, self-criticism that's been running in the background so long you've stopped noticing it. You've probably tried to change some of this. For a while, at least. Psychotherapy gets curious about why these songs keep playing. Most patterns have a reason. And once you hear it, you can't quite un-hear it. This, it turns out, can end up being sweet relief.

Clients who receive psychotherapy from me will learn about the root of their issues and how to heal these wounds. Many issues we face in life are deep rooted in our childhood or resulting from traumas we have survived and need to be addressed to be truly free and achieve peace and serenity. I will help you learn to live a vital, rich meaningful life and overcome any mental health issues.

I use a two pronged approach in assisting clients . The first is called CBT Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This is highly used in counselling. It increase a clients awareness and enhances their education and skills. The second component, and I believe the most important, is the Reduction of Emotional Charge connected with the issue. Some times CBT is sufficient to bring about permanent change. But often people relapse because the emotional stimulation/reaction had not been reduced & they default to their old coping mechanisms.
