OUR SERVICES
INDIVIDUAL & COUPLE COUNSELLING
Are you struggling with life, stressed, anxious, depressed or is a relationship in crisis, are you experiencing ongoing crisis?
I work with couples or individuals who desire to strengthen their relationships and who presently find themselves in a place where life is not working well for them or as they had hoped. I primarily use an adapted REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy) model.
This means that I first hear a person's story and when I have some understanding of their given situation I use a variety of tools to help them gain greater clarity.
Tools include: family of origin; understanding and using your emotions profitably; personality strengths and so on, all the while gaining greater understanding of what a person believes, what they feel and what choices they make. This information helps the individual or couple begin to more clearly understand what they want so they can move towards reaching their goals and desires.
Before attending a session with Kelvin, please fill out the appropriate forms, san and email the back or bring them with you to your first session:
MARRIAGE ENRICHMENT SEMINARS/RETREATS
Looking to provide a Marriage Enrichment Conference, Seminar or Retreat for you church or community group, take a look at our format which seeks to help couples become better 'Team Mates' clearly moving towards their hopes and dreams for their lives, marriage and family.
I believe all couples start out their marriage with high hopes and dreams of what their marriage will be.
In reality though, after getting married, couples often find themselves in a place where they are disappointed with where they are at and are not sure how to get back on track. They need help pursuing the hopes and dreams they once had for their marriage.
It is my desire to equip couples with the relational tools so they can move forward with their hopes and dreams for their marriage.
Together, Lorinda and I present a four-session seminar/retreat You are On the Same Team. I present the theory and tools with some personal applications and Lorinda helps bring clarity to the theory by her illustrations and personal applications from our lives and in our marriage.

MARRIAGE PREPARATION
Planning your wedding? Take a look at our marriage preparation counselling to better equip you to have a successful marriage where you can reach your relationship goals and dreams.
Engaged couples have high hopes and dreams of what their marriage will be. During this time of excitement and anticipation, couples can improve their chances of success by learning effective ways to make their hopes and dreams a reality once they are married.
Staying married is hard work, but it can be a lot easier if the couple is equipped with effective relational tools. Prepared and educated couples can often avoid the pitfalls of disappointment and discouragement that many marriages face once reality sets in.
It is my desire to equip new couples with healthy and effective relational tools that they can use to build a successful marriage.
PRIVATE COUNSELLING
I use the Prepare/Enrich couples inventory as the primary tool for the sessions. The inventory gathers information about their relationship covering 11 different areas such as: communication, conflict resolution, leisure activity, finances, etc. This tool is completed on-line, by the couple, prior to the first session.
The sessions provide a focused opportunity to look at the strengths and growth areas of the couple which provides great insight and gives them tools to pursue a successful marriage.
MARRIAGE PREPARATION
PRIVATE SESSIONS
4-5 sessions 1.5 hours in length
GROUP SEMINAR
In the seminar You are On the Same Team, we cover six topics: family dynamics, understanding emotions, how to keep the romance flame burning, personality strengths, financial management and sexual intimacy. This seminar is a great way to learn about some of the dynamics in marriage and for a couple to have one-on-one time to discuss and explore these topics. This provides tools for pursuing a successful marriage.
Lorinda and I teach these sessions together. I present the theory and tools with some personal applications and Lorinda helps bring clarity to the theory by her illustrations and personal applications from our lives and in our marriage.
