Mission & Values

I started Tanglewood Counselling to provide individualized support to adults experiencing distress. And I believe that everyone experiences distress at times.

I also believe that each person has unique resources, unique experiences, and unique needs. Instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I aim to help my clients to better understand themselves.

By providing safe and appropriate treatment options, I can help tap into their inner resources, reflect on their experiences, and navigate their personal development.

I am here to walk alongside adults on their journey to improved health by providing witness, acceptance, curiosity, respect, and validation.

Ultimately, my mission is to empower my clients to chart their own unique path to a healthier, happier life.

Tanglewood Counselling is dedicated to providing education, inspiration, and support in order to achieve the ‘bigger-picture’ vision of:

Improving the health and happiness in the lives of those in our immediate community and beyond.

I strive to attain this vision by upholding my values, and by helping clients become excited about new opportunities while thinking about things in a new way.

These values help to guide each counselling session, while also keeping me focused on Tanglewood Counselling’s mission and vision.

• Act with compassion, respect, and dignity
• Build trust through honest, ethical care
• Communicate clearly, and without judgement
  
• Develop, track, and attain goals
