Counselling
Ignite the courage to bravely be you
At Courage Forward we welcome individuals experiencing a variety of concerns including but not limited to depression, anxiety, work/academic related stress, addiction, grief and loss, life transitions, and conflict management.
We offer a collaborative, holistic approach to therapy, where we work together to identify thoughts, behaviours, and coping strategies to improve your overall well-being.
With empathy and curiosity we help clients create a space for acceptance to be their authentic selves. We also believe that the client is the expert of their own lived experiences and ultimately decide the pace and direction forward toward their therapeutic goals. Our style is encouraging, and supportive, yet we also gently challenge our clients as they find their own unique path toward an empowered life.
“Just because no one else can heal or do your inner work for you, doesn’t mean you can, should, or need to do it alone.” - Lisa Olivera
Coaching
Discover you Inner Fortitude
Are you feeling like your performance has declined? Are you feeling unheard? Do you find yourself disconnected at times living in the past? You feel like you want things to be different going forward, but you're not sure how to make that happen. That can feel difficult and challenging for sure, the good news is, you are not broken! and don't need to be fixed. At Courage Forward we firmly believe that all people are creative, resourceful and capable of growth and change.
We uphold this belief by creating a safe space to truly listen, to support individuals as they discover their own answers from within. We listen to your story, we listen for your vision and values, and we listen with our heart and intuition.
Our life-coaching can help clients:
-
Become more organized, solving problems and achieving goals.
-
Improve connections with loved ones.
-
Strengthen your skills and build awareness.
-
Enhance quality of life by living more authentically.
-
Build resilience, improve performance, and help you reach your full potential.
"You cannot go back to the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending."
