Coaching & Counselling

Embracing change means accepting life's invitations to grow.

Change is an essential aspect of the human condition. It's an inevitable part of life, whether you pursue it voluntarily or avoid it like the plague. But oftentimes our fears lead us to respond to change in ways that prevent us from experiencing its benefits.

A moment of honesty

Do you find yourself

Struggling

to come to terms with change that arrives unwelcomed or unexpected? Maybe a cherished relationship or job comes to an undesired end. Maybe you’re forced to leave a beloved home for professional, financial, or personal reasons. Maybe you encounter challenging physical changes due to the natural aging process, or to health problems.

Avoiding

making changes that would benefit you? Maybe you know deep down that you need to end that dysfunctional relationship or unsatisfying job, or move to a new city or country to pursue a better quality of life, or change a way of thinking, behaving, or communicating that is harming yourself or your relationships with others, but you can’t bring yourself to take the necessary steps.

Running

from one thing to another in a perpetual state of flight? Maybe you compulsively pursue change not out of a sense of adventure, but because nothing you do is ever quite good enough to satisfy your (or someone else’s) impossibly high standards, or because you are avoiding confronting difficult feelings or processing unaddressed trauma or loss.

Testimonials

In their words.

I was having an extremely difficult time both on a personal level and regarding my professional goals. The way these issues were interconnected in a complex web of mutual influence made it difficult to manage on my own. Ericka helped me untangle these issues one by one, accept and let go where necessary, and carve out specific areas where I can take action. I’ve made incredible progress in these months of coaching, and I feel that I am finally able to act the way I want to towards my goals and myself. I believe that this process helped me transform from within in ways I could not do on my own.

When I started working with Ericka, I thought the coaching process would focus on defining a goal and creating a plan to achieve it. What actually happened during our sessions went much deeper: using different methods, she helped me identify, explore, and think more clearly about my internal stoppers, as well as the situations and emotions that influence my behaviour and affect my ability to move toward my goals. After each session with Ericka, I feel highly motivated and leave with a lot of food for thought. I can clearly see how I am becoming more capable of facing my fears and moving forward.
