Often after we assess and diagnose a child, parents will ask, “Now what?” They can often feel at a loss for knowing how to support their child or help them thrive. 

With this need in mind, we offer parenting coaching with a focus on practical, actionable next steps. The focus is on building the all-important connection and attachment between parents and child. Many parents report experiencing significant improvements in their relationship with their child and their confidence to know how to respond to issues. 

In-home clinical programs match young clients with an in-home specialist who is able to use the home environment as a therapeutic milieu to teach much-needed life skills. The home is a natural and less threatening space than a psychotherapist’s office, and therefore can be more ideal for teaching and practicing skills for real life situations, such as:

Emotional regulation 
Social skills
Communication 
Stress management 
Behaviour management
Study skills 
Life skills

Supervised by a highly experienced parenting coach and clinical psychologist, these in-home specialists often operate as the bridge between our clinic, our clients’ home and their school. 

Please check your work health insurance plan to see if you have coverage for psychological services by a registered psychologist. Many plans will cover most of the cost of these in-home sessions. 

As certified Enneagram Coaches, we employ one of the most powerful tools in the coaching environment. The Enneagram not only enables insight and growth and for the individual client, but also gives depth and durability to the coaching and development process over time. Clients find that Enneagram insights continue to resonate with them long after the initial journey, as they change and their circumstances change.

The Enneagram framework is uniquely positioned to support individuals in understanding their deepest levels of intrinsic motivation, conflicts, anxieties and self-limiting beliefs, which create awareness and potential for accelerated and sustainable development. Unlike other assessment tools that focus only on external behaviours and competencies, this tool brings deep insight to an individual’s hidden, internal drives that can lead to actions and decisions that are self-limiting and even sabotage a person’s goals. 

Beyond individual coaching, the Enneagram opens up avenues for coaching at a team and organizational level. As it speaks to intrinsic motivation, it also adds value to engagement, change management, organizational culture, team development and organizational coherence. The Enneagram enables work with “self as instrument” for practitioners, leaders and employees and is applied at all levels of the organization, from frontline staff levels to executive leadership teams.

We employ one of the best Enneagram systems (the iEQ9 Enneagram https://www.integrative9.com/) available for individual and corporate health and growth, backed up by scientific research and development to ensure the reliability, quality, depth and accuracy of results. Not only are clients provided with a very detailed and individualized written report, but they can also access professional coaching with one of our certified coaches to understand the results at a deeper level and take steps to implement desired changes. 

More than five years of continuous improvement through scientific research and development have made the iEQ9 Questionnaire 95% accurate, and its reliability and validity continue to be improved upon, based on client feedback. The objective measurement enables powerful reframing, reflection and gentle confrontation of the individual self. As an assessment rather than narrative solution, this approach also enables the coach to work effectively with the Enneagram in larger groups and systems, allowing the iEQ9 results to be used for both individual and team reports.

Executive Coaching

We believe that improving business relationships and leadership challenges can help solve business problems, accelerate results and impact positive growth for the organization. A healthy and well-functioning leadership team is key to successful business outcomes. It also helps create a vital, positive work environment that leads to improved productivity, a healthy work force, and the ability to attract, develop, and retain high capacity employees. 

As a coaching team that has worked with hundreds of leaders around the world, we know how much of an investment coaching can be, and we also know how important it is to select a coach who’s right for you. Instead of “cookie cutter” solutions or off the shelf programs, we believe that effective leadership coaching means customized and dynamic support. Our executive coaching supports leaders as they develop their own styles and approaches. When you work with a coach, you’re the one setting goals, choosing topics for discussion, and bringing information to the table.

Executive Assessments

We utilize proven assessment tools and tests to help us gather accurate data about a person.  These assessment tools are well validated through extensive research to ensure that they are an accurate and reliable measure of whatever construct they are developed to assess.  

We have extensive experience assessing individuals through working in clinical and consulting settings, and through assessing many types of clients, including psychiatric patients, all levels of corporate employees, senior managers, and police officers.  We have performed thousands of assessments in the context of selection and development, as well as for diagnostic purposes.  The assessments have varied from clinical to management type assessments.

We also specialize in executive and team assessments, to ensure the health and effectiveness of executive teams. We combine our assessment experience with our research-based understanding of effective leadership to help your organization select the right person for the job or for the team.

We conduct assessments in the areas of:

• Employee Selection and Suitability

• Career Direction or Transition

• Executive Leadership 

• Performance Management and Development

• Personality, skills and gifts assessments

• Clinical/Psychological assessments
