When life gets heavy Path Forward Counselling Vancouver can help
Thank you for visiting our website and showing interest in Path Forward Counselling Vancouver. We offer both in person and online individual (12 years old+), couples, family and CVAP counselling. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding counselling.
Path Forward Counselling assists individuals and couples in changing path by blending different techniques under a framework based on both person centred and attachment theory. It is a process based approach that explores the meaning behind the behaviour. In this process based approach to counselling some of the evidence based modalities used include Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotion Focused Family Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Gottman Method Couples Therapy. The relationship between client and therapist requires the utilization of artistic energy to creatively blend a custom approach to fit your individual needs. As humans we are all different and not all approaches will work for everyone, it is up to the counsellor to know the theories and research while utilizing empathetic creativity to create something that makes you feel comfortable. Some call this the art and science of counselling therapy.
The research demonstrates that regardless the method, the therapeutic relationship is the consistent factor that impacts growth and change. At the core of our practice is the belief in the power of forming a therapeutic bond to foster deeper reflections upon process.
"If I can provide a certain type of relationship, the other person will discover within themselves the capacity to use that relationship for growth, and change and personal development will occur." (Carl Rogers, 1961, On Becoming a Person)
