I am a Registered Psychologist with the College of Psychologists of British Columbia with over 20 years of experience in the field. I specialize in counselling adults with stress, anxiety and relationship issues, and I see clients with a broad variety of other concerns as well.
I take a wholistic and experiential approach to help you make connections between your thoughts, feelings, experiences and behaviors, so you can see exactly what's in your way, and discover how to move towards healing and growth. Together, we'll identify specific and doable steps you can take to build new skills and put your insights into action on a daily basis. My goal is to help you tap into the innate wisdom of your body and mind to support you in creating more of the life you want to be living. I offer a warm and compassionate presence, and I'm right there with you to help you through the challenges you face each step of the way.
I can work with you to:
- Navigate transitions
- Tame fear and anxiety
- Cope with depression
- Heal trauma and move forward with your life today
- Take action on the things that are important to you
- Strengthen communication and connection in your relationships
- Set healthy boundaries and resolve conflict
- Move through grief and loss
- Develop a sense of meaning and purpose
- Improve life at work and at home
- Feel more present, alive, and connected to yourself and those you love
Although I draw on a variety of techniques according to your individual needs, clients often seek me out for my specialized expertise in mindfulness and body-based approaches to therapy. I am certified in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. I regularly train and advise students in the field, engage in research on practice, and offer workshops and groups in the community. I am committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive and respectful environment for all my clients. To learn more visit my website at www.annemariegockel.com
