CP&C Counselling 

​

​Welcome! My name is Carol Alexander, and I have a Master's in Counselling Psychology and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor in British Columbia and a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario, Canada. I offer psychotherapeutic services to adults, families, children, and teens. My work is based primarily on attachment theory, meaning I support clients in understanding their relationships and unique attachment histories. Early in life, we develop within the context of our families and relationships with important others; our sense of belonging and how we see ourselves in the world depend greatly on our early experiences. I support clients in creating and sustaining healthy relationships with their partners, friends, family members and children, which profoundly impacts their happiness and satisfaction in life. 

 

Adult services offered include individual counselling for depression, anxiety, stress, parenting difficulties, and the evolution of life's circumstances. I have significant training in supporting both adults and children who have experienced traumatic events.  I utilise cognitive behavioural therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, families and individuals, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, and Mindfulness. 

​

My focus in supporting families involves strengthening the parent-child relationship, whether adult and child or adult and adult. I coach my clients in a way that provides insight into their family members' inner world while gaining an empathetic understanding of the meaning behind the behaviour. Although I offer individual sessions with children, for parent-child dyads, I encourage the involvement of parents in counselling sessions.  

Therapeutic services for children and families include play therapy, parent and child play therapy, sand tray therapy, attachment-focused family therapy and attachment-focused EMDR.

I look forward to connecting with you!
