Individual Counselling for Adults

Wildflowers can help you with a range of concerns using various evidence based therapies. The goal of therapy is to help you live a more fulfilling life while learning skills to cope differently with thoughts, emotions and situations.

Anxiety
Anxiety is a part of all our lives, and it often shows up when we are doing things we care about. If we can learn new ways to relate to anxious thoughts and feelings, we can live our life doing what we care about rather than needing to control anxiety. Anxiety takes many forms including: anxiety about social relationships, specific fears, general “life” worries, not wanting to be apart from loved ones, having panic attacks and fear of having another panic attack. No matter what the form your symptoms take you can learn to let go of the struggle with anxiety.
Grief and Loss
We often associate grief with death. However, there are many different types of loss in our lives that may leave us with conflicting emotions. Financial loss, changing jobs or schools, loss of trust, loss of safety, loss of a family pet, or loss of a close friend may all stir up strong emotions. Grief is a direct and natural response when we lose a relationship or an attachment to someone or something. Allowing ourselves a safe space to process and grieve any loss is vital to moving forward with our grief.
PARENT RESILIENCE AND SELF-CARE
No one knows your child better than you. But sometimes we are so exhausted and stressed as parents it becomes difficult to be at our best. Using strategies from positive psychology and resilience work, it is possible to build a self-care plan, just for you, that will support your strengths and help you find joy in parenting.
Addictions
“Addictions” is a general term that refers to a variety of substances and activities that can cause a person to form strong compulsive habits which impact many areas of their life. Addictions is commonly understood in the context of problematic alcohol and drug use but can also refer to other circumstances such as gambling, and food, shopping, and technology addiction, as a few examples. Supportive services also include those who are being impacted by a loved one’s addiction.
Relationship Difficulties
The quality of our relationships directly impacts our overall wellbeing and quality of life. Support is available for individuals interested in learning ways to build and maintain healthy connections with others. Topics that may come up if you are looking for support in this area include: identifying and exploring relationship patterns, creating awareness of unique values, needs, and expectations in relationships, assertive communication, boundary setting, safety planning, codependency, healing from painful relationship experiences, resilience-building, fostering self-compassion, and learning to trust yourself.

Dr.’s John Gottman and Julie Gottman and the Gottman Institute believe that couple intervention must be
grounded in basic research. They have been studying why some couples sustained their relationships while others did not for over 30 years.

The Gottman Method of Couples therapy is based on a longstanding program of research on the factors that improve versus deteriorate a relationship. This intervention involves assisting couples in reducing negative interactions and improving positive interactions in three main areas – friendship, conflict management and creation of shared meaning. This form of therapy strives to help a couple find meaning as well as gain better conflict resolution strategies.

The Gottman Method is based on the Sound Relationship House Theory that is comprised of nine components of healthy relationships. A Gottman trained couples therapist will guide couples through these components using a series of exercises to facilitate improvement in their respect, love, trust and affection with each other.
Infertility
Infertility can be a difficult and stressful journey. It can consist of traveling, time commitments, expenses, and procedures, depending on where your journey to parenthood takes you. No matter where you are in the process, we will work to support you (and your partner), by creating a self care plan, and by using tools and resources to help you as you go along.
Post-Partum Depression/Anxiety
Having a baby can be a very exciting time in a person’s life, but it can also be overwhelming. Using a strengths-based approach, we will support you and help you become more confident as a new parent.
Trauma. PTSD.
Wildflowers will help you increase recovery, promote resilience, and create space for transformative healing. We have counsellors trained in a therapy approach designed for: trauma as well as public safety personnel/first responders who have been diagnosed with PTSD, or who have experienced operational stress.

Traumatic memories can become stuck in our bodies, and triggers can cause emotional distress or physical symptoms. An evidenced-based approach called EMDR helps with recovery by activating the brain’s natural healing process.
Eating Disorders
Life can cause us to feel out of control, forcing emotional difficulties and coping mechanisms that restrict us from living the life we want. We can help identify underlying concerns that may provoke compulsivity, self-worthlessness, dissociation or discomfort with the body, as well as uncontrollable food relationships. If you, or someone you love, appears to be developing an Eating Disorder, we are here to support you. We establish safety and connection with our clients, building trust to communicate and reflect on your relationship with your body and food. We help individuals find Self-Awareness and Self-Compassion for their body, mind, and lived experiences. Eating Disorders we can support: Food Avoidance; Obsessive-Compulsive Eating Habits; Food Anxiety; Social Anxiety or Social Phobia; Anorexia Nervosa; A-Typical Anorexia Nervosa; Bulimia; Binge-Eating Disorder; Body Dysmorphia; Restrictive Eating; Excessive Exercising or Dieting; Self-Worth/Self-Image Issues
