Treena views the destinations in her life as stops she is making on her journey. In 1993 she began with the work of literacy spearheading a street literacy program and prison literacy program on Vancouver Island. In this capacity Treena worked on the frontlines with inmates and street youth facilitating learner-driven functional literacy skills. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science from the University of Victoria in 1995, she decided to take her degree and work in Japan teaching English as a second language for several years.

My basis for counselling practice is the person-centered approach based on concepts from Carl Rogers and humanistic psychology. Since each person is unique, I use an integrated approach to counselling, incorporating techniques from various other models of counselling as seem appropriate. Counselling is not a one size fits all encounter. For that reason, I often borrow techniques from various models, such as: Person Centered Solution Focused Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Gestalt Family Systems In counselling, you never have to do anything you do not want to do. I may suggest or invite you to try something that feels different, and you always have the right to say yes or no. We proceed at your pace, not mine. Some people come to counselling eager to make changes; others need time to work through their feelings and get more clarity before they are ready to make a change in their life. Affordable counselling should be available to everyone. For this reason, I offer a sliding scale fee for those of limited means, as well as shorter or less frequent appointments. Please feel free to discuss my fees on the phone, by email, or at our first session. See appointments and fees for more information.
