Can Marnie help you?

Marnie supports individuals, couples, and families reach their personal goals and build strong sense of self with confidence while building connections in their most valued relationship.

Do you experience lack of attachment in your relationship? Perhaps your disagreements go on without getting resolved, leaving you feeling angry and alone in the relationship

Is your child experiencing problems at home or at school?  Are you struggling to understand what is troubling your teenager?

Is your loved one living with an addiction that you are unable to support effectively?

Are you having a difficult time setting boundaries and/or accepting the choices of others?

Has life introduced to you a transition that you are having a tough time working through?

Do you get trapped in destructive patterns with your loved one that leaves you feeling discouraged or alone? Are you feeling angry, hopeless, and powerless as a result?

Whether you come on your own, with your partner, or as part of a family, Marnie will help deliver to you or your family an opening to create change. The goal of the support offered is to have the opportunity to re-connect to your loved one.  She will help you determine what your values are and how to set appropriate boundaries for yourself for yourself and those around you. Marnie compassionately challenge you to consider the feelings you have about yourself, your family, and your role within the relationship. She will encourage you to begin focusing your drive on refining what is important in your life and how to achieve it.

If you are wondering whether or not counselling is for you or your family these questions might help you to make an effective decision:

·       Your personal history stops you from moving forward in your life

·       You often feel distressed, unhappy or anxious

·       You feel trapped in the same kinds of circumstances over and over again

·       You are having relationship problems, and can’t seem to repair them

·       Your emotions feel deregulated

·       You have experienced a loss that you can’t seem to work through

·       You communicate in a way that does not appear to be effective for yourself and the relationships around you

·       You lack the confidence to be the best version of yourself

·       You want more out of life but can’t seem to find the courage and motivation required to achieve your dreams   

If you are stuck in any of these ways, you are probably not living your life to the potential you could be. Happiness and enjoyment of life can be dampened, and replaced by frustration or helplessness. These feelings often build up over time, causing you to get more discouraged. You end up feeling alone in your struggles, like nothing will ever change.

Individual therapy can help you by creating a safe, supportive environment in which to resolve what is troubling you. Marnie can assist you while you get clarity on your situation, and become more conscious as to what you need in order to improve your life. 

From there you will collaborate on what you can do to respond differently to your situation so that you can overcome your problems. Through therapy, you will obtain the support to make genuine decisions and changes, and to rebuild your confidence and self-esteem.

Message from Marnie:

I modify my counselling approach to meet your unique needs.

I place high priority on the relationship between my clients and myself. I believe that my relationship with my clients needs to feel safe and trusting enough to talk about what is upsetting to you. 

I recognize that you have the courage to find solutions to your concerns. I provide the non-judgmental support and skills to assist you to get there.  When your goals have been met you will feel confident as to what you want, empowered to take the strides you want to take, and more in control of how you handle your life.
