Counselling

Providing brief and effective and confidential counselling services for
Individuals, Couples, Families and Organizations

Philosophy

Yaletown Family Therapy’s counselling services are designed to be short-term, solution-based, change-oriented, and very cost effective. Our therapeutic work assists individuals, couples, families and organizations move quickly away from common problem saturated situations (due in part to incredibly demanding home and work environments) and move towards more preferred ways of living.

At Yaletown Family Therapy we apply a philosophy of brief narrative therapy. We have learned from experience that most people attend counselling for 4 sessions or less. Our approach is designed to take maximum advantage of these working sessions. Our therapeutic goal is to resolve our client’s problems from the time of the first meeting. We emphasize the resources of each client, using solutions as the focus.
