“Loving ourselves through the process of owning our story is the bravest thing we will ever do”

— Brene Brown

SILA.

SILA means strength. At SILA Counselling & Psychotherapy we honor our clients seeking counselling, as we know this takes immense strength to be open to making changes in one’s life.

“You already have everything you need to be content. Your real work is to do whatever it is to realize that” - Geneen Roth

At SILA, we honor our client’s bravery, strength, and authenticity, and help them to learn to love themselves on their journeys of self-discovery.

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
