About us
Streams Counselling helps people in crisis or who are facing life challenges, understand, adapt, change their perspective and develop strategies to overcome those challenges and achieve their desired results.
Anne Brodbeck uses empathy and skilled listening techniques to help people work through and understand their emotions and challenges. Her goal is to help a client discover that “Eureka Moment” that is often elusive when people are in the middle of difficulties or life transitions.
Anne is a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor that brings a lifetime of experience and training to each of her sessions. She views counselling as a collaborative effort. It is important to understand that working through challenging life issues is just that – work! Anne believes that a successful counsellor helps a client achieve his or her desired goals, or if it is a couple, their mutual goals.
Meet Anne
Anne Brodbeck is a Registered Therapeutic Counselor. Her office is in Saanichton, but she sees clients from throughout the Sidney and Victoria area and even works with clients online. Technology has given her the ability to help people from all over the world!
Anne studied at SFU Vancouver, The University of British Columbia, CEGEP Saint-Laurent and Trinity Western University. She received her Counsellor Training at VCCT Vancouver College. She brings a lifetime of wisdom and experience to every meeting with a client.
Anne obtained her education while being a single mom to three. She loves photography, cooking and working out. Her biggest thrill and fulfillment (other than seeing her kids become young adults), is watching clients overcome adversity and succeed in their lives and relationships.
Anne views counselling as being a collaborative effort. Having empathetic listening skills and knowing how to ask penetrating yet open-ended questions is central to the success of her clients.
It is important to note, however, that successfully overcoming challenges in life requires work. People who are willing to work and that are proactive with challenges usually achieve the best results from counselling.
If you are facing a life transition such as divorce, career change, empty nest syndrome, retirement, career change, boundary issues, anxiety, death of a loved one or simply want to better yourself, Streams Counselling and Anne Brodbeck would love to help. If your challenge is a relationship, perhaps with a spouse, child or other loved one, working through those relationships with an experienced and caring counsellor can help save or reconcile your relationships.
