My name's Rene Meggs and I'm a Registered Psychologist. I've been working in the helping profession in various capacities for almost 30 years (29 to be exact!) and became a Psychologist in 2007. I've always been in awe of people's strength and resiliency and enjoy helping people make the changes they want. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

You can expect in counselling to build a vision-a clear vision of what you want to have in your life and ways that you can get it. We'll build on what you're already doing that's working and figure out the things that you need to do differently. Counselling will be collaborative. We'll talk about things that you can do to move past obstacles so that you truly can live the life that you want.
The private counselling retreat is customized for you. I find out from you what your best hopes are, what you'd like to see happen as a result of us meeting, and collaborate with you to come up with a retreat that will meet your needs, wants, and goals. Once you've reserved your retreat, I'll send you questionnaires for you and your partner to complete separately.
