Counselling is a great tool for anyone that needs someone to talk to in their day to day life. It’s designed to alleviate mental health problems, deal with the stresses of everyday life, motivate you towards your goals, and explore your thoughts and worries. Counselling helps men and women of all ages receive support from someone trained in providing guidance, change, and a helpful ear.

Counselling generally takes about an hour. Depending on whether you’re going through family/relationship counselling or individual counselling, you’ll be given a safe space to talk about the issues that are affecting your life. In counselling, you do not necessarily receive advice. Instead, your thoughts, worries, and concerns are all explored until we’ve helped facilitate your ability to experience change in both emotions and habits. During the initial session, your therapist will ask a series of questions (i.e. family history, family situation, etc.,) to better understand the nature of your problem. As a team effort, you are expected to be open and honest about your concerns and feelings, and work with your therapist to achieve your goals.

Counselling absolutely is a great way to treat disorders like anxiety, depression, ADHD, and more, and if you believe you have any of these disorders, counselling is the best way to treat it. But counselling is not only for those with disorders. Counselling is also an amazing tool for helping anyone that simply needs guidance in dealing with the stresses, tensions, and anxieties of life. Counselling is great for couples, families, and individuals that need someone to talk to about their everyday experiences.

At Innovative Counseling Solutions, we use an eclectic mix of therapies and styles depending on your needs. Examples include Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Person Centered Therapy to those that need it. We also offer relationship counselling, family counselling, and spiritual counselling, and use different disciplines within those counselling modalities to help you with your needs.
