Lourdeaux Counselling and Mediation
After graduate school I at first used several, well-known approaches to problems. But after thirteen years I have chosen Narrative Therapy because of its efficiency (2-6 meetings) and its practicality (problems viewed as external things to be investigated and understood). After each meeting I will mail you a summary letter with further questions so that, in the end, you can figure out exactly how a problem operates in your life. What's more, I also take the time to help you thicken story-lines of your values, hopes, and life commitments from past events. This approach has been successful with all types of problems, even in severe cases.
* Anxiety, depression, obsessions, compulsions
* Misuse of pornography, sex, alcohol, or drugs
* Couples (unproductive discussions)
* Men (overwhelmed, pornography, relationships)
* Women (relationships, abuse, anorexia)
* Gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, trans-gender people
* Abuse and trauma counselling (which includes bullying)

Consider the benefits of Narrative Therapy:
* In Narrative Therapy you take time to evaluate a problem's destructive effects, and then you investigate its precise ways of influencing your everyday life. After that, you can establish an alternative direction for your life, a direction based on positive past events. A much clearer sense of this direction arises from narrative-building conversations about your lived values, your special hopes, and your future intentions, as reflected in relationships with key influential people in your life.
* After each meeting I post a detailed, summary letter to you that sums up your new knowledge about the problem and offers further questions for investigation. People have always found these letters very useful.
* My place during our conversations is to be de-centered but influential. This means what counts most are not my questions but your new knowledge of the problem, your prior skills, and your core values.

Expect effective help for any problem.
* My clinical experience and training is with individuals, couples, families, and groups.
* Narrative Therapy has helped people with problems that span the entire range of mental health.
* This approach has been successful even when the problem was acute and seemingly intractable.
