Laviolette Counselling

There are many reasons and benefits of seeking out counselling at this time. _Seeking counselling is an opportunity to unearth past or present trauma, rediscover who you really are, or perhaps a different viewpoint is all you need. Counselling can provide a safe environment where a therapeutic relationship is built based on trust, respect, and empathy.

The therapy approach is called Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT); to help clients improve their mental health by a here and now perspective. SFT is a short-term goal oriented approach where the counsellor and client work together in a collaborative approach. This perspective allows clients to use mindfulness-based approaches helping to self-explore, become self-aware, and learn self-care. Emphasis will be on the client to establish goals by using their own abilities and vision to find solutions. This process helps to ensure the client develops a much deeper understanding of themselves; and to reduce the amount of time spent in therapy.
