Where Change Begins

At Haide Giesbrecht Counselling, I know that you want to live a purpose-filled and meaningful life - on your own terms. You want to truly flourish as yourself, rather than live according to others' expectations and demands.

You recognize the need for new patterns that allow you to set healthy boundaries and show up with confidence and authenticity.

The problem is

that you feel stuck in old patterns that seem impossible to change. You might even feel like you are the problem - like you're not motivated or strong enough to break free.

BUT HERE'S THE TRUTH..

You are not the problem!

I believe everyone deserves to live fully and freely as themselves. And I believe it's possible to make the changes that lead to a purposeful, authentic, and fulfilling life.

I understand how disorienting and lonely this process can feel. You're hard on yourself, even as you long to be kinder and more accepting.

You're not alone. I know how exhausting it is to constantly try to meet others' expectations while ignoring your own voice. It can leave you feeling like you've lost - or even abandoned - yourself.

But I also know the freedom and joy that come from living with authenticity and self-knowledge.

Who I am in session is who I am in the world.

No masks. No pretending. Just real connection and a commitment to helping you discover your real self, too.

Get ready to begin a journey that could be truly life-changing. 

You can keep putting this off, or you can say yes to the support you want and deserve.

You can keep living by others' expectations, or you can choose a life of clarity, courage, and meaning.

You want a life that's enjoyable and fulfilling.

I'm here to help you live it.

HAIDE GIESBRECHT COUNSELLING

I acknowledge that my work takes place on the traditional, unceded, and ancestral territories of the Stó:lō people — including the q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie), qw̓ɑ:nƛ̓ə̓n̓ (Kwantlen), Mathxwí (Matsqui), Semá:th (Sumas), Leq’á:mel, and Semiahmoo First Nations — and I am grateful to live and work on these lands.
