Welcome to Into the Storm Counselling
I understand that life has challenges that can seem insurmountable. Without positive support systems and adaptive internal resources, we can be left feeling helpless, engaging in behaviours that no longer serve us. We become stuck in old patterns and negative ways of thinking because we don’t know any other way. My goal is to help you learn those other ways.
No one knows us better than we know ourselves, but often we can be our own worst critic. Just remember, you are not the problem. The problem is the problem. At Into the Storm Counselling, I will greet you with warmth and compassion and I will walk this journey with you, because no one deserves to walk it alone.
“Cows run away from the storm while the buffalo charges towards it - and gets through it quicker. Whenever I’m confronted with a tough challenge, I do not prolong the torment, I become the buffalo.”
