REACHING OUT FOR HELP IS THE FIRST STEP
The ultimate goal in counselling is; to empower a person to reach their fullest potential in life. Counselling is especially important when a person is experiencing problems or difficulties which are affecting his or her quality of life. Lifestyle changes can cause tremendous fear and insecurity in people, especially for those who have unknowingly relied upon ineffective ways of coping with the everyday stresses of life. Turning to a competent and qualified therapist who can provide confidential support and advice about private worries or concerns at times of difficulty, can be most reassuring and helpful.

Robert Goulard
Addiction Counsellor, MSW, RSW, CACII
My personal recovery process was the most difficult and rewarding experience of my life. It created the solid foundation from which I now meet challenges personally and professionally in all areas of my life. My goal as a qualified and professional counsellor/therapist is to help you identify, clarify and modify your internal environment so that you too can meet the challenges you are faced with in life, in a new, meaningful and life enhancing way. I believe that happiness, peace, joy and love are available to all people, despite their past actions or circumstances.

"I am a therapist who has a deep understanding of problems in relationships, addiction, depression, anxiety etc.. This understanding comes as a result of my academic background as well as from having been in active therapy myself. I know all too well what it's like to have challenges in life, and to try and struggle through problems. I personally have experienced difficult times in life, just like everyone else. I tried extremely hard to turn my life around on my own and eventually found that this was an impossible task. I kept trying to resolve my own problems but now understand that I had never been taught effective coping strategies and therefore lacked the appropriate skills necessary in order to turn my life around. I was only after I sought professional help myself back in 1985 that I was able to effectively change my life. Consequently, I found out that drugs and alcohol were only a mask which covered up the real issues that I needed to address. The road to change is not a quick and simple path, but as a result of my perseverance, willingness, the professional counselling I received, along with my experiences in group therapy, my life has been dramatically transformed and I am now able to fully appreciate what a blessing each day is."
