Eli Norman is a Registered Clinical Counsellor who holds a Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Trinity Western University. He has over 15 years of experience helping individuals and families through non-profit organizations, government agencies, and faith communities.
Eli comes alongside clients to help them overcome the adversities that they face and achieve the personal growth that they desire. He partners with clients to create a strong alliance that is focussed on identifying and achieving their goals for counselling. Eli uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize and address unhelpful patterns of thinking that can cause problems to seem overwhelming. Through CBT, clients are equipped with the tools that they need to change their thoughts, emotions, and behaviour. Eli also uses Narrative Therapy to help people enhance their personal agency in the stories of their lives. He works with clients to challenge narratives that are negative and defeating, and to discover more hopeful and helpful narratives that allow clients to overcome problems, find healing, and experience growth.
Eli has received specialized training in:
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT),
• Narrative Therapy,
• Observed and Experiential Integration (OEI) Therapy,
• Prepare/Enrich Marital and Premarital Counselling, and
• Indigenous Cultural Safety for Mental Health Practitioners.
