Halton Spiritual Counselling, Burlington, ON

For over a decade now, the following values have guided our practice at Halton Spiritual Counselling:
Relationships: the match of client and counsellor is the single most important factor in any healthy counselling relationship; look around and be selective in the process
Safety: above all, clients should feel safe, secure and unconditionally supported on every step of their counselling journey
Listening: the best way to ensure clients are respected is for counsellors to be empathetic listeners who guide the conversation but allow clients to be themselves
Experience: wisdom and life experience are the best teachers available to us; choose a counsellor who has a mix of both
Action: a thoughtful, yet proactive, ‘do something’ mentality is the most effective approach for clients who wish to grow through counselling
Emotion: emotions carry great weight and need to be valued and recognized for the power they hold
