Life Issues Counselling

At Eckert Centre we recognize that from time to time many people are faced with life issues that can seem confusing, frustrating, or overwhelming. Our psychologists and counsellors are sensitive to these struggles and are committed to offering support, encouragement and hope to you in times of difficulty. Our staff work collaboratively with individuals, couples, and families to assist them in clarifying issues, setting goals, and generating possible solutions towards change. However, at Eckert Centre we also believe that counseling is not only for problems. Our counseling team is pleased to assist you with general wellness issues, such as developing greater self-awareness, wrestling with existential issues, and taking a pro-active stance towards your mental health and well-being.
