Counseling is an opportunity to observe and challenge the limiting beliefs and assumptions that bind us to negative emotional patterns – in relationships, work and personal life. These sessions open up self-awareness, communication and encourage authentic meeting, instead of playing out old familiar dynamics which can not only be destructive but also never lead to the intimacy we long for.

RELATIONSHIPS IN CRISIS

When relationships are caught up in patterns of anger and recrimination, resentment and pain make it impossible to communicate. Over time, walls are built and loss of connection leaves the relationship feeling empty. Skillful intervention can help to breathe new life into such a relationship. If you are willing to consider an initial visit, there may be hope yet.

WORKING WITH OLDER ADULTS

Older adults are often overlooked in our society, yet they can learn to live a fuller and more meaningful life through counseling and therapy. As couples grown old together, issues of health and care may become challenging. The loss of a loved one can be devastating. Loneliness, anxiety and depression may take over. Jack can help you turn this around. Whether you are single or in a relationship, it is possible for old age to be a positive, meaningful and nurturing time of life. Seniors over 65 may be covered for these sessions through their Alberta Health Plan.

TEENAGERS & ADULT CHILDREN

Children are increasingly staying home longer or even returning home. Parental concerns for their children's psychological health may need to be addressed. Jack can advise and consult with you on the best approach and help you and your children move forward.

Fees can  be covered by most Extended Health Plans, Employment Assistance Plans and may be eligible for tax deduction claims.

Testimonials.

"Coaching was nothing like I thought it would be. It was life changing: The difference I felt when I left and how I could carry it with me forever. It was like getting a bodywork session. It opened up my mind to coaching as a vital part of a better, healthier life", Gian Gibson, Certified Rolfer, Edmonton.

"Everything - even the tough stuff comes from a place of love and non-judgment with Lisa.  It is as easy as it can be to show up vulnerable and honest and that is where the biggest changes come from.  She is honest, warm, loving, and will hold you accountable to your own growth",  Kathryn Gompf, Engineer/Life Coach, Winnipeg.

"I am good at fooling myself but I could not fool her. Lisa's presence, compassion, and genuine curiosity allow for deep exploration of essential needs in this life. I have achieved all of the goals I originally set out to accomplish when I first started working with Lisa and I continue to make leaps and bounds in my life with the self knowledge, internal motivation and resources I gained awareness of and access to with her support.", Robin Klasson, Master's in Dance/Movement Therapy Candidate, Boulder, USA.

"I truly appreciated your support during my Dad’s death. You are the real deal, so genuine, so authentic. You have incredible intuition and a deep sense of caring for yourself and others. You are a precious, precious gift", Nadine Nicholson CPCC, ABC, Executive Coach, Calgary.

"I really enjoyed the whole process from beginning to end. Even my ‘homework’ felt worthwhile.  [Coaching] enabled me to recognise and verbalise feelings and thoughts rather than leaving them to sit, unannounced.  The technique is non-intrusive and allowed me to deal honestly with issues in a non-threatening way.  I now reference what I learned daily, often subconsciously", Rohan Knuckey, Senior Designer, Bioware, Edmonton.
