Coaching/Counselling

Our coaching/counselling approach at Peter Martyn and Associates aims to teach and motivate
individuals to:


• Explore their thoughts and emotions and what they really mean
• Learn new behaviours
• Create a support system/environment that stimulates them to practice what they have learned

We believe that practicing this new knowledge is critical; simply learning something new is but a small
step in the long journey to real change.

With the proper tools and sufficient practice, individuals have the potential to become more productive in both their work and personal lives. Our coaching/counselling systems are designed to engage, teach, and motivate individuals to better utilize their intellectual, emotional, and creative energy.

Individuals may be experiencing:

  • Crisis
  • Conflict
  • Stress
  • Abuse
  • Substance Use
  • Depression
  • Difficulty Coping
  • Emotional Challenges

The coaching/counselling approach is designed to help people understand and effectively manage life’s constant challenges. It promotes self-awareness and encourages individuals to approach these challenges and life events in a new and more effective way.

Goals of coaching/counselling include:

  • Develop more effective coping skills
  • Improve communication skills
  • Take responsibility for emotional reactions and behaviour
  • Develop healthier relationships
  • Be a more positive role model
  • Eliminate excuses and blame
  • Increase motivation
  • Implement future training more effectively
  • Experience more happiness and satisfaction in life

Workplace Services:

Often times, issues and challenges faced by individual employees can create a barrier to a successful work environment. Employers can contract Peter Martyn and Associates to work individually with employees requiring assistance. This can be facilitated on site to increase accessibility and decrease cost.

This individual service is an excellent follow up to our group workplace training and consultation services. Please see the training/consultation link on our main page for more information.

Services for Community Agencies:

Our staff team has both theoretical knowledge and practical experience working with individuals who are connected to a wide variety of social service agencies including the criminal justice and child welfare systems. We are well versed in addressing the underlying issues that precipitate involvement in these systems such as substance use, depression, and family violence.

Our individual coaching/counselling services can be contracted and delivered on site at your agency to individual clients.

Please see the training/consultation link on our main page for more information on education for staff teams of community agencies.
