Message from Maureen:
My passion is to help you remember that life is a mystery filled with beauty, wonder, alongside its challenges and struggles. I see my role in counseling as creating a safe space to explore a deeper understanding of yourself, your needs and the situation you find yourself in.
I believe we all have an inborn longing to grow to our full potential. Focusing on self acceptance and compassion, I encourage and support you to find your own priorities for your life. I will help you to let go of limiting thoughts about yourself that hold you back.
I understand self-awareness and self-acceptance to be essential components of a more fulfilling life. I can help you to befriend your challenges and embrace your strengths. I focus on understanding your unique needs and helping you find practical solutions to life’s challenges.

Dean Nicholson (MA, RCC) is a psychotherapist with over 35 years of experience, who has helped thousands of people navigate the challenges of life.
Message from Dean Nicholson:
Life’s path is not always easy or predictable. Personal growth does not come without some bumps along the way. How can you overcome setbacks and stuck patterns and live a fuller life? My goal as a psychotherapist is to work with you to help you become more of who you were meant to be.
I have over 35 years as a psychotherapist and educator, and over 10 years as a Buddhist meditation practitioner. As a therapist I bring all this experience together in an innovative approach that incorporates cognitive-behavioural, emotion-focussed and body-focussed counselling techniques with the newest understanding in human development, brain science and wisdom tradition psychologies. Through it all I infuse our work together with humour and a deep knowledge and love of the natural world and the arts. Drawing on this wealth of experience my goal is to assist and inspire you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your personal path of growth and healing.
