About Our Counselling Services
Our Purpose
Gwen Duda: BSW/RSW
Our Approach
1) To provide compassionate counselling services to individuals dealing with mental health issues, life changes and challenges and addictions/substance usage.
2) To empower and assist clients in identifying core issues which can drive unproductive and/or unhealthy thoughts and the subsequent potentially actions that erode one's quality of life. These core issues also underpin addictive behaviours or maladaptive coping skills.
3) Working together, this client-directed approach formulates the appropriate plan or course of action.
4) Achievable goals are set that translate into new strength and growth, allowing integration of past experiences and enabling new and healthy learned approaches to life's challenges that bring restoration and equilibrium to one's body, mind and spirit.
