My name is Denice Sikic and I am happy to be serving CMS as a middle school counsellor.
My personal philosophy towards counselling is rooted in my belief that education should serve the needs of the whole child, and that a child can only learn and live effectively when they are in a state of optimal wellness.
In my training I have used mind-body techniques, cognitive-behavioural techniques, and a variety of other strategies with students to help them develop their own social/emotional skill set. I want to work with children to foster mental health and support any social/emotional challenges that they may have, which can negatively impact their physical health, relationships, and learning. My goal is that every child at CMS feels that they belong, are safe and are in control of their own mental wellness.
If you would like your child to be involved in counselling services at CMS this year, please e-mail me at denice.sikic@sd23.bc.ca
