Psychotherapy and Coaching is a flexible process which is focused on: your goals, the particular issues you are experiencing right now, who you would like to involve in the therapeutic process with you, and how you want to direct your life moving forward.

Individual Counseling - If you are experiencing painful emotions or looking for a strategy, it is great to choose individual therapy first, and later you can bring your partner, children, family members or even friends to sessions to work on specific situations or relationship dynamics if you choose. 

Clients Can Choose between keeping all sessions as individual therapy sessions, or may bring in a partner or family members to sessions. A combination of individual and joint sessions is often preferred by clients.

A more traditional understanding of Psychotherapy would suggest that it is intended to treat disruptive or upsetting clinical symptoms such as anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, addictions, panic, obsessions, compulsions, wanting to resolve feelings of emptiness, confusion or anger, family of origin issues.

In Coaching You May Choose to Focus Your Sessions on Your Goals or Something in Particular You Are Trying to Accomplish or Solve. 

You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete... Buckminster Fuller

It can be normal to feel panicky and even physically ill when bad things happen or when you feel confused and out of control and don't know how to respond.
