Cally Farr, MA, RCC

Difficulties in life can provide an opportunity to find deeper meaning, understanding and growth.  Short term counselling can help develop and implement goals, and sort out questions which interfere with the ability to live life fully. These changes can bring about new perspectives, behaviours and skills. In-depth psychotherapy presents a chance to more thoroughly understand and integrate recurrent patterns and themes in life.

Using deep listening, warmth and positive inquiry, I offer a safe, comfortable and respectful setting in which to explore  experiences, feelings and beliefs. My goal is to support you through what may be a difficult and confusing time and help you identify patterns that limit your choices. If you feel stuck about what you want and where you want to go, we can create a plan that is suited to your specific needs and history, and builds on resources and strengths.

• My office is comfortable and inviting and a place you can feel safe and supported.
  
• I think of the first session as a time to get to know each other and make certain that our styles are a good fit together.
• I will ask you to tell me about you, and talk about your goals and expectations in the counselling process.
• I may offer you some tools to address your issues or some homework to think about on your own.
  
• I will always encourage you to ask questions or give me feedback about your experience in our sessions.
