What To Expect At Your 1st (Ever) Session
Your first therapy session can feel a bit daunting, especially if you've never been to counselling before. It's a chance for us to get to know each other and for you to share what brings you to therapy. We'll discuss your concerns, explore your goals for our time together, and I'll explain how I work.
Please know that I provide a safe, non-judgmental space. There are no perfect individuals, families, or couples, and I understand that everyone faces challenges.
Your story is yours to tell, and I'm here to listen without judgment.
Confidentiality is a top priority for me, and I adhere to strict ethical guidelines to ensure your privacy.
This first session is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and see if we're a good fit. Ultimately, my aim is to create a supportive environment where you feel comfortable and empowered to work towards positive change.

Mental Health at the Workplace
Corporate Services
At Quest Counselling, we are proud to offer bespoke lunchtime talks designed to inspire and empower your workforce while addressing essential aspects of personal and professional growth. Our interactive sessions cover a broad spectrum of topics, including motivational talks that ignite passion and drive, as well as insightful discussions on understanding and enhancing professional and personal relationships.

These talks align with our commitment to creating greater self-awareness, enabling individuals to make informed and positive decisions that can significantly impact their work and personal lives.
Recognizing the emotional challenges that can arise in a workplace, particularly in the face of loss, we also provide specialized grief support and counselling services. Should there be a bereavement within the organization, our skilled counselors are available to guide and support management and staff through this difficult time. We understand that the death of a colleague or team member can have a profound impact on morale and overall productivity. Our grief support sessions offer a compassionate space for employees to express their feelings, seek comfort, and find ways to cope with their loss.
Management plays a crucial role in this process by demonstrating sincere support and encouraging open communication. By fostering an environment that acknowledges grief and provides resources for healing, organizations can help staff navigate their emotions while reinforcing a culture of care and solidarity. Transform your lunch hour into an opportunity for growth, healing, and connection with Quest Counselling’s engaging and impactful talks that prioritize mental health and emotional resilience.

What is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting
Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms. Brainspotting is a simultaneous form of diagnosis and treatment, enhanced with Biolateral sound, which is deep, direct, and powerful yet focused and containing.
Brainspotting functions as a neurobiological tool to support the clinical healing relationship. There is no replacement for a mature, nurturing therapeutic presence and the ability to engage another suffering human in a safe and trusting relationship where they feel heard, accepted, and understood.

Mindfulness Meditation Audio
Bilateral music's rhythmic and alternating nature stimulates the brain's hemispheres, promoting synchronization and balance. As a result, stress responses can be reduced while emotional and physiological disturbances are balanced. This means that the autonomic nervous system can be regulated. Plug in your ear buds to a volume where you can still hear conversations around you & enjoy the soothing tunes from David Grand's Brainspotting Music.
Anxiety Relief Guide
When stress hits, take a slow, deep breath in, filling your lungs completely. Exhale slowly, releasing the tension with each breath. Deep breathing helps calm your nervous system, lower your heart rate, and bring your body back to a state of relaxation.

Adoption Resources
In this section, you'll discover downloadable PDF files filled with crucial information to enhance your understanding of adoption.
Announcing Your Decision to Adopt
Your adopted child deserves the announcement of his/her arrival as any child joining your family would. Since it is not as common as biological birth announcements, I hope this will help you. Feel free to have a session with me to customise your announcements should the need arise. Credit to: Colleen Calvani
Helping Classmates Understand Adoption
When we began talking to our girls about their adoption, we definitely did not expect them to keep it a secret because making it a secret would mean it's something shameful. So giving them the right tools to talk to their friends & classmates about their adoption was key. I'm so grateful for this handout; it empowered my girls to share their stories with integrity and humour. Credit to: www.adoptivefamilies.com
