Managing Depression
Managing Addiction
Feeling isolated and lonely, afraid of the future, fearful of becoming ill, can often lead to troubling symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, and Fear. Taking care of ourselves is critical. Catching these feelings before they overwhelm us and teaching ourselves to cope is the best line of defence. If these feelings have already taken over, then seeking help is critical. Often Anxiety and Depression are short term and will pass. If the feelings last more than a few weeks or are getting worse, reach out and talk to someone. A doctor, religious or spiritual guide, or an experienced counsellor or therapist can often help
Who IS TIM PENNOCK
My Counselling Practice
Our lives become a mess at times. That is normal. However, when the problems grow, remain unresolved, or are compounded by new and sometimes unexpected events, we often experience stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and sometimes harmful behaviours. The good news is that many of these problems resolve themselves over time, and for the ones that do not, some simple therapeutic techniques can help.
At 50+ years old, I have experienced many of life’s challenges. I have counselled, provided therapy, and psychotherapy to youth, families, and adults in a variety of settings, with a wide spectrum of concerns, and I have remained hopeful, seeing the strength in each person that can be brought to the surface, to engage and enjoy the world with meaning.
My Counselling Focus
My focus is on you, and will always remain so. Initially we will work to quickly resolve some of the more troubling aspects of your daily life and provide some immediate relief. Next we will focus on the underlying issues and discover a way to understand and alleviate problems in the future. I have always been non judgmental and LGBTQ friendly. I use a non-medical counselling and therapy approach to help with anxiety and depression. I also have many years of training and experience with substance related issues.
My Promise
My time with you is sacred. I will dedicate myself to your needs with the goal of creating a better and more meaningful life.
Great counselling relationships start with willing participants; both client and therapist, and end with a satisfied and capable client moving forward with their life in a productive and meaningful way.
AREAS OF COUNSELLING AND THERAPY
Depression & Anxiety & Addiction
Many of us find points in our lives that are dominated by depression, anxiety, and grief. That is not uncommon. However, having these feelings persist beyond the initial situation which caused them often becomes problematic and leads to more complex issues. Working through these emotions in a safe environment allows us to understand them in context and then begin to move past them in a healthy and meaningful way.
Trauma & PTSD
Events in our past can often remain problematic if they continue to resurface at unexpected times. Feelings of fear, panic, depression, and anxiety can have a huge impact on our day to day lives, often leading to stress, confusion, and sometimes despair. The causes of trauma can be complicated, yet through counselling they can be brought to the surface in a safe manner, allowing us to begin resolving them and releasing ourselves from the trauma they are causing
Relationships
Relationships can be complicated. Each phase brings new and sometimes unexpected challenges. Discovering what is missing, evaluating our values, and assessing the overall health of the relationship can lead to answers, guiding us forward in a productive manner. I do not work with couples, but will counsel individuals toward solutions to better strengthen your relationships.
