Welcome to Kimberly Murdoch Counselling and Coaching

I am a registered social worker with over 20 years clinical experience in psychological therapies and coaching. I bring expertise and warmth in helping teens and adults deal with problems and achieve their goals. I provide a supportive, professional relationship and researched approaches for better outcomes in life.

I believe effective psychotherapy, counselling and coaching are based on empathy and understanding about the person and the problems they want help to change. There is a focus on building awareness, resources, and solutions through carrying learning forward into each day. In therapy and coaching I invite you to deepen your participation in your life in powerful and positive ways.

My practice is trauma-informed and I enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds and sexual identities.

I have extensive training and experience in helping people with:

Family, relationship, work or school stress Substance abuse and coping style Problem gambling and shopping Self-esteem and assertiveness 3-Stage trauma recovery

Health, wellness and lifestyle coaching Body image and eating disorders Sexual identity and LGBT concerns Meditation Skills for Calmness Anxiety, sleep and pain issues

My Approach:

• Holistic – understanding you and the links between your mind, mood, body, brain, urges, behaviours and your social world
• Strength-based – validating and building on your awareness, strengths and resiliencies
• Person-centered and collaborative – understanding your challenges and supporting your best outcomes; offering confidential counselling focused on your needs
• Effective – the therapy is practical, solution focused and client focused. I encourage active participation of clients in changing their lives
