our approach
We help you discover “the difference that makes a difference”.*
Creative Problem-Solving
A combination of clinical counselling strategies, knowledge of universally human issues, awareness of the social, cultural, and societal influences on life experiences, and your unique situation inform how we direct sessions.
Philosophical Focus
Beyond psychology, we look at your problem through different philosophical traditions and lenses and apply them to your unique life and challenges. It is important that we also work within your personal belief system.
Therapeutic Letters
After each session, we send you reflections and insights to encourage the counselling process to progress between sessions.
Hawkins Counselling Therapy is right for you if you are experiencing any of the following:
- You are ready to look at new ways to approach your problem
- You are ready to learn more about yourself
- You feel it would be beneficial to consult with a clinical counsellor about an ongoing problem that is holding you back in some way
- You know there is something in your life that needs change, but you’re unsure where to start on your new path
- You are experiencing a lack of clear direction, overwhelm, or a sense of frustration or injustice
