Additional Information about this counsellor or psychologist:

Dr. Brenda Adams is a Registered Clinical Counsellor who sees clients at her office in Duncan. Her main interests in counselling are working with people who have experienced violence and abuse or grief and loss. Though she works primarily with adults, she has worked with many children and youth who have experienced violence or grief. Brenda also provides individual and relationship counselling for people facing a wide variety of life stresses and challenges, and she provides counselling services to people who have used violence.

People who have been subjected to violence often experience unsupportive responses from others they disclose to, and they often say these responses are more distressing than the physical violence itself. When people experience supportive responses based on an accurate understanding of violence and their understandable responses to it, they often experience immediate relief. Clients can expect significant relief from emotional pain and suffering as well as practical support regarding safety, legal processes, and additional services and resources.

People grieving the loss of a loved one are often looking for information about the grieving process and practical steps they can take to move through the pain of loss. Brenda provides information and support for moving constructively through this process.

People who have used violence against others can expect a respectful approach that highlights their willingness to accept responsibility for their violent actions, their motivation for non-violence, and steps they are already taking towards peaceful relationships.

Couples coming to counselling to address conflicts in their relationships or other life stresses are supported to find solutions uniquely suited to them and their situations.

Brenda is a Registered Clinical Counsellor and a registered service provider with the Crime Victim Assistance Program, HumanaCare Organizational Resources, Family Services of Greater Vancouver Employee and Family Assistance Program, Charles Nechtem Associates, and the ICBC Rehabilitation Department.
