About the Counsellor
Carolyn Waddell
BRE, MDiv

Carolyn Waddell is a graduate of Ontario Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity in Counselling. She has over thirteen years of experience counselling people with a variety of personal, marital and family issues. Carolyn is a Certified Clinical Counselor with the International Association of Christian Counseling Professionals, and has a strong commitment to the field of marriage and family therapy, in both secular and religious environments.

In the counselling process, Carolyn aims to take a "whole person" approach, by including an understanding of the mental/emotional, physical, spiritual and relational aspects of life as she works with clients. A major focus of her work is in helping people with trauma and abuse recovery, as well as family conflict resolution. Carolyn counsels using a variety of methods, but works mostly from a Family Systems perspective, which takes into account family relationships, not only individual issues. All counselling is confidential, except for information that must be reported by law. See FAQ for more detailed information, or contact Carolyn.

Prior to becoming a counsellor, Carolyn's background was in the health care field, with experience in chronic care and active hospital, as well as home care. In addition, she has some experience as a crisis pregnancy support person and as a volunteer pastoral care worker. Also, she holds a Bachelor of Religious Education from Emmanuel Bible College.

Carolyn is married and has four children. Because of her strong personal Christian faith, Carolyn's counselling will be influenced by a Christian worldview. For more information, go to her beliefs page.
