Is This the Right Fit for You?
Whether you're reaching out for the first time or you've worked with a therapist before, we meet you where you are.
Some people come to us already deep in self-reflection; others just know something isn't working and want help figuring out what.
Our work is grounded in decades of clinical experience, and we tailor our approach to what you actually need — whether that's working through a specific challenge or a longer, deeper process of change.
We Work With People Who
-
Are struggling with a relationship — as a couple, or in family or parenting dynamics
-
Are navigating a difficult life transition, loss, or ongoing stress
-
Have tried therapy before and want a different kind of support
-
Are new to therapy and not sure where to start
-
Want an experienced, steady perspective whether they're facing something for the first time or the tenth
More Freedom. More Connection. More Choice.
This work opens up the opportunity for you to experience yourself as:
Having more freedom (choices)
Being more loved and loving
Being more creative, contributing to your own life and to the world
Being more adventurous and willing to take risks on your own behalf
Our Approach to Therapy
We first work together to define how you want your life to be different. We do this by listening carefully to your hopes and dreams, and use them to set clear goals for your counselling.
The next step in our work together involves understanding and creating a counselling relationship which helps you feel strong and safe. We always feel honoured when invited by another person into their journey through life. While we’re journeying together, to honour those who are open and honest with us, we know we have to be open and honest with them as well.
Throughout the process we continually and intentionally attend to the best parts of you. You will find that everything you need to live the life you want already exists within you. By noticing these best parts you will begin to experience a transformation: your difficulties will give way to a passionate and life-giving energy. Solutions emerge and resources become apparent that leave you with a sense of well-being and empowerment you can use to create anything you want.
Our Experience
We have many years experience working with clients in a variety of situations. In our counselling practices we see individuals, couples, families, children and adolescents. We also offer telephone and video counselling using a secure online platform.
These are our specialties. For more detailed information about either of us, please see the individual pages for Michelle Rahn and Steven Keeler.
Finding The Right Counsellor For You
Under all personal problems is a deep longing to be treated with respect, to belong, to be free, to live without fear, to love and be loved, and to contribute something of genuine value. Finding an experienced, capable therapist to help is almost always a good idea. Finding one who fits you is important.
