Life brings us challenges in many different ways and there are times when we are overwhelmed by how to move forward. Our relationships often suffer the most by the stress in our lives and yet they can be the source of our deepest joy. In our moments of feeling stuck, we may need help to find our direction, reconnect, and rebuild.

Ocean Imagery

I practice counselling on the Westcoast of Vancouver Island and the ocean offers such a beautiful image of our journey through life. The landscape is ever changing and yet there is a rhythm one can count on in the ebb and flow of the tide. Some seasons of life can be like the powerful storms of the sea, in which we are unable to get past that first set of waves and find ourselves discouraged and tired…washed up on the beach. Other times, the ocean can be the most life-giving scene of dreams ahead, adventures to come, and unlimited depths to explore. Wherever you may find yourselves in this time, the counselling process can help you navigate your way through challenging waters.
