This includes individuals who travel frequently for work, who live and/or work internationally, or for people who prefer to ‘take their therapist on the road’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e152703e564c52e7f0d5061/1581314483925-2HDWZ1HOG1A0Z5864H93/Screen+Shot+2020-02-09+at+10.00.58+PM.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e152703e564c52e7f0d5061/1580594593331-L9E22GBZ8XIRSTPG4WVH/journal.jpg Home - E-Counselling E-counselling is delivered over email and is a therapeutic ‘penpal’ style relationship. It works well for people who have busy schedules and like to choose their own time to intentionally connect with their therapist. It’s excellent for people who have unreliable internet- perhaps located rurally or working in developing countries. It’s also suitable for people who find in person contact too overwhelming, as it provides a buffer to the more intimate nature that comes with other methods of therapy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e152703e564c52e7f0d5061/1582648274797-KIJ52FHTPLR314VQYK7R/sarah-silkblouse.jpg Home - Face to face Face to Face counselling is what we picture when we think of traditional therapy. It’s done in the room together, in my office in Squamish. This is a more classic style of therapy - couch and all - and is suitable for anyone who appreciates the intimacy and connection that being in the room together offers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e152703e564c52e7f0d5061/1582868578881-657AKCNSQJY6QSZ7FXD2/sarah-blazerlandscape.jpg Home https://www.sarahjeffreycounselling.com/menu daily 0.75 2020-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e152703e564c52e7f0d5061/1583252494718-QD79KN6B2EWRXHM5QZGA/field-of-plants-1544884.jpg Services - Counselling During the counselling process, a strong emphasis is placed on the relationship between counsellor and client. It’s used in a skillful way to offer emotional support and guidance while things are being worked out. The ultimate aim of counselling is to create an opportunity for clients to enhance their self-awareness, increase their resilience, and connect with what brings meaning and value to their lives. The counsellor will provide insight, acceptance and non-judgement, and will act as a sounding board. By definition, counselling tends to be more short term and focuses on specific topics and life areas. Support and guidance will be offered by the counsellor specific to these areas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e152703e564c52e7f0d5061/1582696810782-MUSH46X65Y2EMQWBBRY9/aerial-photography-of-seashore-1680140.jpg Services - Mindfulness meditation Mindfulness Meditation has proven to decrease stress levels, improve overall life satisfaction, and is an incredible catalyst for change. Mindfulness has been described as paying attention to the present moment, on purpose and without judgement. Guided meditation is a process of being led through mindfulness awareness, and is an opportunity to become familiar with our internal landscape. This creates space to make contact with current, felt experiences, whereby improving our self-awareness and our relationship to self. In session, when appropriate, I’ll often invite us to practice being mindful together. This involves me guiding you through meditation, in a therapeutic manner, in order to notice what’s calling for attention and to offer an opportunity to practice regulating your nervous system. This tends to be a favorite with clients! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e152703e564c52e7f0d5061/1583272882770-UJGQUPIYSITDBHQXH7QM/pine-trees-1834399.jpg Services - Therapeutic Coaching When the way forward isn’t in focus, this type of coaching offers a high level of therapeutic sensitivity in addition to skillful coaching. Its therapeutic nature sets it apart from standard coaching. Insight and guidance is given in a more direct manner and action items and resources are offered. This is for individuals who have stumbled on an impasse in a specific life area, but are on an otherwise forward moving, high caliber path. It puts ‘now what’ into action. *To be human is to be dynamic, given this, it's not uncommon to enter coaching, counselling or psychotherapy for one particular reason, only to discover other areas of your life calling for attention. For this reason, these various practices can often resemble each other and overlap. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e152703e564c52e7f0d5061/1583252454172-CEVS9KF1JJ8GQ9A9OFSR/landscape-photo-of-green-trees-and-mountains-2088167.jpg Services - Psychotherapy Psychotherapy tends to be more long-term and explores overall patterns and behaviours causing challenge and struggle in an individual’s life. Understanding how past experiences influence current behaviors and worldview is key to the therapeutic process. Family history and substantial life events and adversities are often considered. Although counselling and psychotherapy overlap in many areas, a common distinction between these two approaches is duration and content. It could be likened to the difference between an oil change versus coming in for a new transmission! Nonetheless, the aim of both psychotherapy and counselling is shared, and foundational to both is the therapist’s capacity to hold each client’s unique set of circumstances with kindness, curiosity and non-judgement. https://www.sarahjeffreycounselling.com/menu-1 daily 0.75 2021-02-17 https://www.sarahjeffreycounselling.com/about daily 0.75 2020-02-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e152703e564c52e7f0d5061/1580862333070-BVBDUU76MHHZKMKYVCS7/sarah-coffee.jpg About https://www.sarahjeffreycounselling.com/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2020-02-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e152703e564c52e7f0d5061/1581364096936-VW3B2U7XBG843TSCPEWO/photography-of-body-of-water-and-mountains-1544880.jpg What to Expect https://www.sarahjeffreycounselling.com/test daily 0.75 2020-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e152703e564c52e7f0d5061/1582867447683-V1I36YMOKT6YBPCW9XQ1/sarah-blazerlandscape.jpg test
