Life stressors are inevitable. For Kristen, she was dealing with the stress of having a young daughter and an unstable relationship with her partner. Kristen needed to gain access to tools and resources that could help her manage her stress, deal with the instability of her relationship, and gain confidence in herself. She met with one of our counsellors, and they used solution focused approaches to discuss self-esteem building techniques, self-care strategies, effective communication and assertive behaviour. Kristen and her partner also attended couples counselling together which seemed to have stabilized their relationship.
