The Art of Growth Consulting officially began in December 2002 as an incorporation that would be able to offer a number of services and programs with a focus of facilitating growth in individuals, relationships, families and businesses. 

Unofficially, The Art of Growth began many years earlier...

Cheryl-Dean Thompson created The Art of Growth Consulting Inc. with a reflection of her past and a vision of the future.  Maintaining the focus of facilitating the strength and growth of those around her in whatever setting she was working in, Cheryl-Dean gained a broad range of work experience.  From the service industry to the social service industry and to national corporations, Cheryl-Dean has shared herself and has enabled the transformation of individuals, groups and agencies since 1985.   Based on a philosophy of encouragement, belief in the worth of others, and empowerment of people, Cheryl-Dean has witnessed discouraged individuals regain purpose and toxic work environments transform into energetic and passionate places where people want to be.

In addition to her work experience,  Cheryl-Dean has ensured a strong educational background.  She has her Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from the Adler School of Professional Psychology, a Certificate for Emotionally Focused Therapy, and certification as a Master Trainer.  She has taken training in the areas of hypnosis and a variety of expressive therapies.  She is also the recipient of the BC Psychological Gold Medal in 1991.  She is certified through the Canadian Counselling Association as well as registered with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors.

As for the future of The Art of Growth Consulting Inc. ...

The vision is one of growth and creativity.
