Therapy to support your best life

Do you find yourself repeating painful struggles and ineffective patterns in your life and relationships? Do you feel levels of anxiety, stress and overwhelm that impact your life? Do you struggle in your relationships with your partner, family or others? Do you feel stuck, unhappy or frustrated with certain aspects of your life but can’t seem to make lasting changes no matter how hard you try?
You are not alone. We all face difficult times that create a lot of pain and suffering in our lives. This suffering can emerge in the crippling way we judge ourselves, in conflicts in our relationships, in addictions, isolation and self-sabotage, in loneliness, overwork, perfectionism and in so many other ways that create our constricted and unfulfilled lives.
Professional counselling can help you to understand how interconnected and impactful your thoughts, feelings, stories, values, and expectations are on how you perceive and experience the world you live in. Counselling will support you to overcome your perceived limitations, learn new skills, and create solutions for effective change. You will be guided through the process of stripping away layers of habit and learn to engage in new ways of being. At Metta Emergence Counselling we empower you to develop new ways of understanding, communicating, and being in the world, through a process of supportive inquiry, reflection, and experiential awareness.
Our clients experience a fundamental shift that supports expanded connection, intimacy and a compassionate foundation for deeper experiences of love, happiness and connection in their lives.

How we can help
Your Fearless Heart
Loving truly takes courage…..
Falling in love – What a magical experience as our heart opens to another and we feel a deep being-to-being connection! We spend days, weeks, months, open-hearted, experiencing and revealing our true nature: the loving, joyful, deeply passionate, compassionate, tender, kind, understanding and generous beings that we really are.
And then something happens. The magical experience begins to shift as our deepest wounds and emotional triggers begin to surface. As a response to emotional and psychological wounding in our childhood, we developed strategies for emotional survival, defenses, ways of protecting ourselves, patterns that insulated us from feeling deeply vulnerable again the way we felt as children. Of course, all of the ways that we defend, control, manipulate and protect ourselves undermine the very possibility of experiencing the state of love that we both desire and deserve.
The journey to undefended love requires us to be truly open and vulnerable with our partner, and to accept and hold them in their vulnerability with kindness, care and deep compassion. Being truly open, vulnerable, undefended and willing to know ourselves and let another know us is one of the most difficult steps we are invited to take in relationship. And yet, it is this very step that can bring us home to love … a place where deep kindness and compassion for self and other honors our true nature and our courage to love with an undefended and fearless heart. Join us to discover what engaging with a fully courageous heart can bring.

Rethinking Self-Care
There has been much social commentary over the last few years about the topic of self-care. The basic premise of many of these articles is that we are all needing to ensure that we have enough self-care in our lives. Yet what does this actually mean?

What Is Your Relationship Map?
A relationship is an invisible and unconscious contract we make with another. We often have very little idea of what that contract entails because we are unaware of the beliefs about relationship that we inherited from our family of origin.

Meaning, Purpose and Passion
The quest for meaning and the discovery of our life purpose is part of being human. How can we enrich our lives with meaning? Start by answering the question: What do I experience as meaningful, as personally fulfilling or worthwhile in my life?

Do you find yourself repeating painful struggles and ineffective patterns in your life and relationships? Do you feel levels of anxiety, stress and overwhelm that impact your enjoyment of life?

In our relationships, it often feels like the very thing we need to be happy – meaningful connection with others – is nearly impossible to cultivate or maintain. Even though our need for human connection is born with us, our ability to form healthy and happy relationships is a learned process.
