Counselling Approach Maureen McEvoy, MA, RCC has been in private practice for more than 20 years. She works with individuals, couples and groups. She counsels clients who have experienced trauma, either recent or historical. She is certified in trauma modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy (DMNS). Other approaches include art therapies, hypnosis and mindfulness. She also works with couples using Imago Relationship therapy. She is an Advanced Imago clinician (1996) and a Certified Workshop presenter of the Getting the Love You Want weekend workshop based on the work of Harville Hendrix. Maureen believes that each of us is able to be the author of our own lives, and that we have an inborn urge to grow towards our full potential. She sees her role in counselling to provide an environment of safety, witnessing, reflection, and support that facilitates such growth. She wishes to guide people to a deeper understanding of themselves and their situation, to befriend their challenges and embrace their strengths. She believes that self-awareness and self-acceptance are critical ingredients in order to live a happier and more fulfilling life. Clients experience her as respectful, curious, pragmatic and compassionate. She also believes that psychological issues can never be reduced to the individual, but are always related to culture, social settings and society. Therefore, problems need to be addressed in context.
