Canadian Family Health Counselling by Peri Hayes Kim Sargent is Clinical Director of Canadian Family Health Counselling, with Kristy Suckling representing their Port Stanley clinic. Kim passionately introduces, “We know more about the brain now. What you think about affects your physiology.” Through the Neural Network Therapy provided at Canadian Family Health Counselling, a series of exercises is offered as a means to create healthy, structural development to the brain. Using a Lite-Brite, Etch a Sketch and more, these unique tools are utilized for educating others about the brain in a “clever way”, as described by Kim. “People are recognizing the importance of personal growth, and are looking into options for their mental health. These are tools for creating changes to habits in bite-sized ways; a positive pathway for the brain to get out of these sticky places and arrive to feel-good places.” Their service is offered to a vast age range. Moreover, Canadian Family Health Counselling facilitates opportunities for teachers to meet their requirements while supporting mental health, such as growing gardens on school grounds and incorporating nutrition into their curricula. Kim, who has been in practice for 27 years and counting, is appreciative of the Postgraduate Studies Program in operation since 1999 which connected her with Kristy. The esteemed Owner and Operator of Yellow Brick Pottery, Kristy, has a background in mental health nursing and physical well-being. “She is a great fit for the business. She has this spunk and energy,” Kim beams. While their Head Office is stationed in Peterborough and services are provided globally, their Port Stanley office is located at 6781 Union Road. Kristy presently offers virtual sessions as she rotates between Australia and Canada. “I was drawn to counselling by a desire to help people navigate challenges and create meaningful change in their lives,” she thoughtfully expresses. “With over 20 years of experience in mental health, I’m inspired by how our neuroscience-based approaches, like Neural Network Therapy, empower clients to better understand themselves and take control of their mental health.” With gratitude, Kim details the dedicated efforts of her incredible team, “I really feel like we’re ready for the next step, so what do we do besides talking about how we feel? It requires remarkably small — but specific — amounts of information to make changes to the habits of how we think and feel. We’re ready, and I think that people are hungry for it. We don’t want to regress; we want to advance the cause and feel the difference. We teach about the connection between the emotions we experience and how
this creates a vibratory patterning in the body. You need to understand where to put your effort.” As Kim concludes, she encourages those interested to ask questions and conduct thorough research throughout one’s healing journey to discover the practitioner that is the most suitable fit. She also assures, “You don’t need to come back if we have done our job. This is a swifter process of weeks or months, as opposed to the idea of spending years in therapy.” Read about Canadian Family Health Counselling’s meaningful approach through the canadianfamilyhealth.ca website, and explore the canadianfamilyhealth.janeapp.com/ site to review their practitioners.
