Hello! My name is Kirsten Ostler, and I am a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC). CCC’s are registered members of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). As a certified counsellor, I am bound by the CCPA’s code of ethics, standard of practice, and disciplinary procedure. I am also required to update my skills regularly to maintain my certification.
Counselling is not “one size fits all”, so I take an integrative approach. We will work together collaboratively to determine which methods fit best for you. Possible approaches include:
- Acceptance and Commitment (ACT)
- Cognitive Behavioural (CBT)
- Cognitive Processing (CPT)
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
- Motivational Interviewing
- Narrative Therapy
- Solution-Focused Therapy
Education:
Masters of Arts Counselling Psychology (MACP), Yorkville University; Bachelor of Child and Youth Care (BCYC), University of Victoria
