Life Coaching
She has a warm, genuine and direct
approach to therapy. Colleen fully shares the nature
of her approach with her clients and aims to provide every client a
thorough understanding of how therapy works.
"I
have noticed that, although clients may feel comfortable in their ability to
rationally think through an issue and possess an overall comfort with
emotions there can be a lack of communication between rational elements
of a person and the emotional elements. In my work I seek to bridge
that gap.” Colleen explains.
Colleen
believes, side by side that, both you and she can work together to
develop a plan to help achieve your goals and unburden you of
difficult patterns and/or experiences.
She has learned that a varied set of approaches are an asset in therapy.
Some of the approaches she uses are:
EMDR (eye movement desensitization
and reprocessing)
