One on One Counselling

Every women who moves into Alpha House is provided with the chance to grow and develop as an independent woman.  The counselling sessions required of all residents are a major aspect of that growth. 

In counselling each women is given the chance to share her story, explore her personality, discover her identity, unfold her hurt and emotions, strengthen her weaknesses, learn about her coping behavior, and develop new skills for living.  Most importantly, every women will be listened to.  Moving forward is a challenge and difficult times will occur, but no one needs to go through the process alone.

The women at Alpha House also have the unique opportunity to meet one on one with the Children's counsellor to discuss parenting issues.  Every child is unique and has his or her own personality, strengths, and weaknesses.  The mom's can use this time to discuss many parenting issues, such as, the things they do to relate to and raise their children, learn different approaches to parenting, ask questions about the needs of children at any age, reveal their fears of being a parent, celebrate the joys their experience as a mom, and receive support and advice for the choices they make.         

Every women meets once a week with the women's counsellor for personal counselling, once a week with the children's counsellor, and once a week with the compulsive coping behavior counsellor.
