COUNSELLOR AND COACH

Trauma, mental health challenges and life changes are all potential doorways to learning, healing and growth. Psyche and spirit are inextricably connected.

I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC #1072) in British Columbia and along with my regular practice have over 3,000 hours as a peer counsellor working with individuals in crisis and with those seeking spiritual maturation. I believe in your inherent ability to heal and am guided by your own sense of timing and focus.

“Thank you for you kindness, compassion and insight. Your coaching has helped me achieve my goals, and I so appreciate your counselling through the difficult emotional situations of the past couple of years. Thank you, Olivia, for all your help!” — private client

Many clients come to see me because I have training and experience with both counselling and coaching through my MA ABS and advanced studies. Together we can tailor your sessions to meet your needs, including, one or the other, or both counselling and coaching. See FAQ for the difference between them.

My work assisting you is deepened by my own life experience. I’ve healed my own emotional wounds and now find gratification in continuing to grow and help others. I bring over 30 years of experience helping clients, offering you:

  • Spiritual dimensions of psychological healing and growth
  • Diversity and Inclusivity awareness (See Fostering Diversity and Inclusivity)
  • Strategic problem solving skills, CBT
  • Mindfulness, breath work and somatic body awareness
  • Attachment healing and healthy self esteem
  • Appreciative inquiry and deep listening
  • Generative trance (positive self hypnosis)
  • Communication and conflict resolution coaching
  • Gestalt, dream and integrative shadow work
  • Depth psychology and object relations theory
  • Family and human systems
  • Ancestral healing support
