Hi, I'm Katie and I decided to open Enlightenment Counselling Services as a way to support people and guide them in gaining insights that can be used to improve their quality of life. I am drawn towards working with people who are experiencing challenges with emotions such as stress, anxiety, sadness, or anger, as well as those experiencing challenges with their self-esteem or interpersonal relati
onships. To do this I like to get to know my clients on a personal level to form authentic connections. It is a privilege to be able to support people through challenges but also to join them in experiencing positive emotions and laughter. It is also important to me to ensure that the therapeutic process is personal and meaningful for each client. As such I use an eclectic approach so that I can best meet the needs of each unique individual. I draw from cognitive behavioral, solution focused, narrative, and emotionally focused approaches. In general my approach is very strength focused as I believe that everyone is capable of facing challenges, solving problems, and improving relationships once they understand their experiences and have access to helpful resources.
