How can Steven support you?

Divorce Mediation

Divorce, for most people, is a traumatic experience. It can become a web of dysfunctional behaviors, accusations and overwhelming feelings of anger and loss.

Choosing to mediate your divorce is the smartest decision you could possibly make, when it comes to sifting through all the issues that require competent decisions.

  • Gain Complete Documentation

Divorce mediation provides a vehicle for resolving divorce efficiently, while retaining your dignity and saving on costly attorney fees.

Counseling

If we are honest with ourselves, we would see that for many of us, we have chosen the same behavior over and over, only to achieve the same results.

This can often lead to feelings of hopelessness which makes us isolate ourselves often snowballing into the development or acceleration of depression.

It takes an expert to sift through the issues you are facing to work towards change.

Couples Counseling

Intimacy is always complicated; it’s rooted in the often vastly different experiences each partner has had – in childhood as well as over the course of their life. Over time, these differences can create painful and dysfunctional ways of relating or reacting to each other.

My goal in couples counseling is to to guide you and your partner through the building essential cornerstones of your relationship to rebuild a practical toolkit and mutual understanding of attachment and boundaries; communication; sexual intimacy, empathy and expectations and healthy arguing and negotiation skills.

Family Counseling

As families we often develop closed systems, where we’re trapped in fixed patterns of communication that often make parents of children feel helpless, unheard, like your presence ins’t impacting the other family member. On the other hand some family members may retain the power regardless if their actions hurt those they love. Through family counseling I help your family understand the patterns that are destructive to guide you towards open systems where members apologise, forgive and negotiate new, truly empowering and constructive, ways of relating to each other. 

Teen Counseling

Being a teen in 2021, means you’re under immense pressure – from parents, school, friends and social media. My goal in teen counseling is to help teens navigate this often crippling pressure in combination with the need to feel loved and understood in this challenging phase of life where you question everything. My goal is to guide teens – and their families if necessary – towards behaviour that’s constructive to their goals, confidence and self-esteem.

Individual Counseling

Sometime’s we’re stuck and we often need someone to facilitate the journey of self discovery and change. One of the goals of individual counseling is finding a balance between accepting oneself and seeing the areas of one’s life that need to change in order to grow in the ways you have been limiting yourself or where you have been hurting the people you love.

Addiction Counseling for Men

Almost all men have been socialised to be independent and self-sufficient. As a result we hide our addictions and fear of failure, living emotionally isolated lives, ashamed of our secrets and addictions. In my counseling practice, I see success in helping men understand the motivation behind their insecurities and addictions to work towards a future of freedom.

Therapy for Narcissism

Narcissistic traits and narcissistic personality disorder create deeply traumatising and dramatic relationships. Whether you’re trying to manage your own traits or whether you have a narcissistic partner and you’re finding yourself doubting your own sense reality, you need professional support. After 30 years of experience, I know how to guide you in not being so deeply impacted by this deeply painful and all-encompassing relationship.
