Sharon Wiener, M.A., RPC, MPCP. Master Practitioner of Counselling Psychology

Counselling Psychology in the South Okanagan, B.C.

I have 20 years of experience as a counsellor, with a special interest in eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia and compulsive eating).
I have also helped individuals and couples dealing with stress, conflict, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, transition, trauma, and abuse. Formerly in private practice in Toronto, ON., I now practice counselling psychology in Summerland and Naramata, British Columbia.

The Benefits - counselling psychology helps people through re-education, support, skill-building and empathic listening and guidance. People come for counselling for many different reasons. Some of the goals people hope to achieve are:

All of these result in a fuller, happier life. In the counselling process, people discover the obstacles that have prevented them from achieving these goals, and they receive support in actively attaining them.

My approach: the style that would best describe my way of working is compassionate, intuitive, practical and present. I have been a practitioner of Buddhist meditation for the past 20 years, and a meditation teacher for the past 10 years. The training of a clear and focused mind, together with an open heart has greatly informed my work.

I am an insured member of the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association.
