Margaret Keith Counselling

My role is to provide a listening ear, unconditional positive regard, guidance, and helpful tools to help pull you out of difficult times in life. I like sharing my tools and techniques that I’ve learned through years of training and experience to help others. I offer a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on, should you need one. If I can make you feel even just a little bit better about themselves or their circumstances, then that is my reward for helping.

I learn so many new things from my clients. Regardless of who I’m currently working with each and every client teaches me something. There are no two clients alike; everyone is so uniquely different. Each client teaches me just how extraordinary we, as humans, really are: we each find a way to cope with whatever life throws at us. All in all, we’re all really just doing the best we can.

I get to witness hope and inner strength. We all need hope, something that makes everything we’re going through somehow worth it in the end. When a client sees me and describes feelings of hopelessness, one of the first things I try to do is instill a sense of hope. In this job, I get the opportunity to witness the human condition every single day, and with that, I get a firsthand glimpse into each client’s hope that everything will somehow be okay. I’ve seen clients who have endured horrific trauma and those who have lived through so much pain and hurt that are so incredibly strong, and I admire that inner strength. Despite the stigma that is often attached with seeing a therapist or doing therapy, it actually takes an amazingly courageous person to seek out and undergo counselling. Therapy requires one to search within himself and expose all his vulnerabilities to a virtual stranger. That’s bravery. That’s strength. And I get the privilege of being a part of that, and I am truly humbled.
