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:
- Solution-Focused Therapy
- Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
- Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
- Motivational Interviewing
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Narrative Therapy
Education:
* Masters of Arts Counselling Psychology (MACP), Yorkville University
* Bachelor of Child and Youth Care (BCYC), University of Victoria
