Psychotherapy
Have you come to the end of your rope? we are here to help
There are times in life when our own resources are not enough to sort through the confusing emotions and reactions we have to situations and others in our life. Perhaps you have known for years you wanted to seek out a counsellor but did not know where to start.
It can be liberating
- To talk to someone who understands.
- To put your burdens down.
- To receive the comfort of an understanding listener.
- To gain new skills and insights.
- To have the time and space to figure things out.
These are just some of the benefits of counselling. Through the counselling relationship we create a space to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours and explore the excitement and possibility of change. The information on this site will help you to know a little bit more about us and give you the confidence to know if Delyse or Chris is the right counsellor for you. You may also want to watch the Welcome Video Message by Delyse.
To help you begin we have prepared information on Finding a counsellor.

We focus on
The person not the problem
We understand that everyone is different and that we want to understand who you are. For example, focusing on the problem of depression can lead to preconceived ideas and set approaches that miss connecting with how you experience your life. We have a wide variety of knowledge and experience that helps us understand these difficulties but we understand that connection with our clients is the most important aspect of therapy.
Understand that counselling is a process not a technique
It seems that every time you look around there is a new technique or approach that promises fast, effective results. At Turning Point we keep abreast of training and research to improve our skills. However, experience has shown us that techniques are tools within an ongoing process where human connection and understanding are the conditions for change.
Experience of the counsellor counts
In studies about why counselling succeeds, the experience of the counsellor is the most important factor. We are committed to providing you with the best counselling services with over 25 years of experience each. We are committed to our own personal development, to attending courses and receiving supervision to hone our skills.
Your time is important! To accommodate your schedule we have evening and weekend appointments available. If you live outside Vancouver, telephone and internet counselling are available.
Finding a "fit" in the counselling field is much more important than finding a "fit" in a pair of trousers. Delyse proved to be that perfect fit for me. She supported me through one of the most difficult periods of my life. Her calm and gentle style provided me safe and warm haven, where I was able with her guidance to begin addressing my demons. With continued support I've felt able to walk forward, armed with self-awareness, knowledge and tools that have had a positive impact on every relationship in my life. Thank you, Delyse from the bottom of my heart! CF
