Ravenstone Counselling
Work with me one on one
Guilt can lead to anxiety and depression, problems in relationships, or many other issues in life that we don't expect. Our patterns start when we are young, when our caregivers teach us to either be kind and gentle or harsh with ourselves. It's rare to see a parent create a truly healthy dynamic with their child and those patterns stay with us for life until we can uncover the subconscious guilt that keeps us stuck, going around and around in a hampster wheel. We can't see outside of it ourselves, we need someone with a different perspective. Well meaning friends often do more harm by trying to fix or give advice that isn't really helpful. You need a trained and objective ear to really feel heard and helped in the direction you want to go.

Work with me as a couple
If you have lost that loving feeling and don't know how to get it back, you have come to the right place.
The most common problems a couple will come to me with are money, sex and children, all leading to the breakdown of the connection. We think that if we can just fix the issue, the relationship can be fixed. Ultimately, the issue is never really the problem.
In couples sessions, you will learn about your own and your partners defense systems and how they play out to create the breakdown of your relationship. And when we are in defense mode, it looks like our partner has committed murder, when really they have only jaywalked. it is our own personal wounding that we revisit without realizing it that causes our interpretation of the situation to be something other than what it truly is.
You will learn a new way to dialogue with your partner so there is an opportunity to truly hear and get to know one another. Under our defenses we hide who we are, so our partner only gets to know a shallow part of us. In learning to create a safe space, we can stop feeling like we need to shut ourselves down and use our relationship to truly blossom.
