dove tree counselling

Be it now or in the past, you put your life and well-being at risk every day to serve the public.  You perform tasks many of us could not dream of doing, in order to serve our communities.  You may work with life and death on a daily basis, and may even witness more suffering and disturbing scenes in a short time than you might otherwise see in a lifetime.​

​​

You offer strength and care when people's worlds fall apart.  The stress and what you are exposed to, however, can take a toll and cause psychological injury, just as repeated stress to the body can cause physical injury.

​​​

New approaches, understandings, ideas, and skills can be very helpful in addressing the common challenges you experience in your role.  These may be high stress, worry, sadness, suicidal thoughts, family issues, nightmares, or intrusive and distressing memories. Reaching out shows strength, not weakness.  You are not alone and there is no need to struggle in silence.

I would feel honoured to be able to assist your healing and help you come to thrive again in your career, because it is hard to fully help those around us if we don't take care of ourselves as well.  If you come in for sessions sooner than later, you will struggle less and feel better faster.  It can also help to build a relationship with a therapist in advance so that they can be there for you when you need them most.
