Welcome to
Empower Counselling Services Winnipeg

We are so glad you decided to visit Empower Counselling Services Winnipeg today, where empowerment counselling is always top of mind for our Winnipeg counsellors. We encourage you to take some time to look around, get a feel for who we are and for our philosophy of Winnipeg counselling services, and whether we would be the right fit for what you are looking for in your Winnipeg counsellor.

Celebrating Diversity and Empowerment

At Empower Counselling Services Winnipeg we strive to create an environment that feels safe and inclusive; an environment where you can grow in your empowerment over your needs, health, and well-being; an environment where diversity is welcomed and celebrated; an environment in which to do your work free of discrimination against gender, age, sex, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation, political affiliation.... As humans we all have preconceived notions, prejudices, and assumptions, but at Empower Counselling Services Winnipeg we work hard at growing in our awareness and then challenging our assumptions about people. So, welcome, just as you are today. Welcome to our space! Now, let's get you the empowerment you've been wanting for too long!

Our Philosophy of Counselling and Psychotherapy in Winnipeg

We believe each person deserves to live the empowered life they want and deserve. We also understand that sometimes there are obstacles that prevent people from living this desired life, but with the right help, the quality of life can almost always be significantly improved, and in many cases the problem can be entirely eliminated.

Our philosophy of counselling therapy is deeply informed by Person Centered Therapy. This means that our work is tailored to YOUR unique needs and desires. It also means that we work form a non-judgmental, non-oppressive perspective, which means you are welcome to come just as you are today. It also means that we believe in non-discriminatory inclusivity.

Examples include but are certainly not limited to:

• We work hard to create a zero-shame environment for you, leaving you space to work on the issues that led to, and maintain, your unique struggles
• We work hard to create a space in therapy that feels comfortable and safe. To achieve this, we like to use some humour and make our time together as enjoyable as possible, as human as possible
• Your life, your goals: We believe adults set their own life and health goals. While we will gently challenge and encourage you towards healing and making changes to improve your well-being, we respect how far you wish to go with counselling and with making your desired life-changes. Our goal is to work towards your empowerment
• If you struggle with addictions, you will not be required to stop your addiction in order to enter into or continue counselling with us. Remember that we are working towards YOUR goals, which may mean you want to quit but are not quite ready or you don't feel empowered to do so today; or your goal may be harm reduction at this time with the goal of making bigger decisions once you have more clarity on your long-term goals. However, in order to optimize therapeutic outcomes, we request that you refrain from coming to session under the influence of mind-altering substances such as drugs and alcohol. This will give you space and clarity of mind to engage in our shared work and will lead to stronger therapeutic outcomes for you

Your Story Matters

Each of us has a story. Some aspects of our story are written by our own choices, while other aspects are written by the impact of other people’s choices: parents, siblings, friends, classmates, lovers, and others. Some of this story is beautiful, some of it is beautifully complex; and some of it is so painful that it keeps us from living life fully and deeply. It keeps us stuck in a life filled with shame and guilt, not knowing which is our’ and which is someone else’s responsibility. It keeps us stuck in low self-esteem, in addictions, and in dissatisfying jobs and relationships. It keeps us from enjoying health and vitality.

One of the helpful things about counselling therapy is to have someone listen to you for once, truly listen. We believe listening is one of the world’s most scarce commodities. True listening is more than silence while someone else speaks. It is to engage fully in what is being said, leaving you feeling heard and seen. It’s like seeing yourself mirrored on still water when the storm subsides and the waves recede. This, then, makes space to clarify how to work through difficult life-stuff and to regain vitality and holistic health. It offers space to sort through the noise, the shame, and the guilt. It allows space to accept your responsibilities and let go of those that belong to someone else, and clarity to know the difference.

Reaching Out Can Be Hard

For many people, reaching out—be that to a loved-one, a Winnipeg counsellor, a spiritual leader—can be one of the toughest steps on the journey towards renewed empowerment and health. We are confident that, together, we can achieve your desire to regain control over your life and reclaim your health. It's possible!
