It takes courage to ask for help and seek out a counsellor, so I commend you for taking this important step. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor in Vancouver offering skilled, compassionate counselling and therapy in a variety of areas. My desire to provide compassionate, practical counselling services is at the heart of my practice, Pyxis Counselling Services.
As I explain here, the meaning of "Pyxis" (pronounced "pik-sis") represents the focus for my work as a counsellor, which is to help you navigate life. Struggling with addiction, including alcohol and drug use or other behaviours such as compulsive gambling, compulsive shopping, or addiction to internet use.

Way back in my Grade 12 high school yearbook I had said that I wanted to become a psychologist. I may not have known what that meant exactly, but I wanted to know more about people and also about myself. About how we behave, think and feel. I also wanted to help. It may sound cliche to say that I care, but I truly do.
In individual counselling I meet with you on your own for a one hour session in order to provide counselling or therapy. The focus for our time is on the area or areas of concern for you in your life, and together we set goals for working toward change.
In couples counselling I meet with both of you as a couple (opposite sex, same sex, common-law, married, dating, etc.) in order to provide couples therapy for a one hour session, or a 75 minute session as needed.The focus for the counselling is on the concerns in the relationship.

Counselling is a process. It's a conversation we have about your life, what's working, what's not working, how you're feeling, what you're thinking about and how you want things to be different. In the process of providing counselling I ask questions, make observations, reflect back what you've told me, make suggestions, and provide information and skill development.
As I was revising my About page to include some of the story as to how I became a counsellor, I was also thinking about what I get out of being a therapist. It might seem like a selfless profession, listening to and focusing fully on helping others. In the toolbox for navigating life is our ability to create margins or space in our lives.
