What we do at SILA Counselling & Psychotherapy
SILA offers a wide range of counselling services to the communities of Kelowna, Penticton and Summerland, and virtually province wide within BC.
As a registered counsellor, I strive for excellence in all aspects of the profession. At the core of my practice is the importance of the following:
Safety
Integrity
Lifelong development
Authenticity
S afety - includes confidentiality in the client-counsellor relationship and a non-judgemental place to talk. We create safety through the formation of strong client-counsellor relationships, by being authentic, accepting, empathetic, an active listener, genuine, adaptive, open, flexible and using humour.
I ntegrity - We possess strong moral principles and strictly follow the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors Code of Ethical Conduct.
L ifelong Development - We are a life-long learners that is always ready to learn from and with my clients. We continually participate in seminars and courses to constantly expand our knowledge. We truly believe there is always an opportunity to learn in every situation.
A uthenticity - We believe in the counsellor client relationship that it is vital for both the client and counsellor to be real, raw and genuine, to create a meaningful working relationship that we can then use together to create positive change in the client’s life.
I would like to respectfully acknowledge that Kelowna, BC, the land on which we live and practice, is located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Syilx (Okanagan) Peoples
