Welcome
Counselling is a co-creative process between counsellor and client to identify issues of concern, clarify goals and apply appropriate, effective strategies to meet these goals. I use a variety of techniques to empower clients to not only address current issues but to be able to actively manage and resolve ongoing challenges in their lives.
I work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, work-related stress, grief and loss, relationship problems and loss of direction in their lives, to name just a few. I specialize in the treatment of trauma, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), addictions and family issues, including those involving child behavioural concerns. I also work with First Nations communities, including survivors of residential school.
I offer individual, couple, family and group sessions and also provide workshops, keynotes and presentations to agencies and organizations.
Please email me at contactsheppard@gmail.com or text me at 778-898-4634 for a free consultation. All counselling and coaching services are currently being offered on a remote basis (Skype, Zoom, Facetime, telephone, email, text).
