Journey Counselling Inc.
is a growing network of trained therapists in Calgary who specialize in helping people overcome the hurdles that sometimes make life, relationships, school and work difficult. We ourselves come from diverse cultural backgrounds and from every facet of society and are passionate about what we do. We provide individual, couples, marriage, family and group counselling as well as offer workshops and seminars on various topics as needs arise.
We believe in community and see the therapist as playing a role in a clients broader support network. We endeavour to see the therapist’s voice as one among those of family, friends, colleagues etc. To this end we work hard to create a strong alliance with clients and use this new and stronger team against the client’s presenting problem.
We believe that people are resilient and are already working to overcome their difficulties. We believe people have a long history of winning against their problems even in small ways. We thus seek to create a collaborative environment where the client and therapist work together and join their ideas, wisdom and resources in coming up with solutions and a way forward. We believe that with the necessary support clients can paint a picture of their preferred life and can be assisted to find helpful ways to move towards that life and future.
With us you will find a warm, professional and therapeutic environment in which we can together discover and develop solutions to help you find a surer footing on your way.
