Description

Ben has long had a passion for relationships. He firmly believes nobody is born into this world to be alone. Thus, he serves as a psychotherapist hoping to help anyone who needs it with the trials and tribulations that life inevitably brings to us. With a focus on relationships, anxiety, depression, communication, esteem, emotional regulation, and trauma, he seeks to support those in need in the way that they need to be supported.
Ben provides a space for clients to let out all that is inside, that perhaps they can't let out with anyone else in their lives.

Facility Information

Transformation Counselling

Summary

Mental health exists on a continuum. At one end is what's known as mental illness, like depression, anxiety, or PTSD.  At the other end is mental wellness, which people don't talk about as much: joy, satisfaction, freedom. Most counselling focuses on just reducing symptoms and getting people to the point where they can cope.
At Transformation Counselling, we believe that human beings are meant for more than just coping.  Wherever you are on the continuum of mental health, our counselling services can help you move closer to peak human functioning.
