Soul Flow Therapy Holistic Counselling

What is Holistic Counselling?

Holistic Counselling is a therapeutic approach that considers the whole person—mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. This method allows for a more personalized and integrative approach to therapy, helping you reconnect with your authentic self while addressing life's challenges.

Together, we will explore your inner world through compassionate, collaborative sessions. We’ll look at the connections between your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations, helping you gain clarity and understanding. Whether you’re facing anxiety, stress, or navigating personal growth, holistic counselling offers a supportive space to work through your concerns.

How Does Holistic Counselling Work?

In sessions, we’ll explore your thoughts and emotions and their impact on your body and overall well-being by slowing down and paying attention to the mind-body connection.

Counselling sessions are tailored to your needs and may involve mindfulness practices, somatic awareness, and creative exploration. Together, we’ll develop strategies that empower you to navigate life’s challenges.

What Happens in a Counselling Session?

Sessions are collaborative, meaning that we’ll move at your pace and focus on what feels most important to you.

Here’s what you can expect in a typical session:

  • Empowering Conversations 
  • Mindfulness and Grounding Techniques 
  • Creative and Somatic Exploration

Frequently Asked Questions

Are online sessions as effective as in-person sessions?
arrow_drop_down

Absolutely. Online counselling offers us the ability to connect from anywhere and offers you more flexibility in scheduling. Sessions are offered using a secure online video platform called Jane App, which is compliant with healthcare privacy laws in Canada.

COVID-19 Safety Guidelines
arrow_drop_down

Please do not attend in-person counselling sessions if you have a cough, fever or have recently been sick. Please reschedule after you’ve been symptom-free for seven consecutive days. Cancellation fees are waived due to the sudden onset of illness.

As Soul Flow Therapy is home in a fitness facility, and therefore the COVID-19 strategy was informed by public health guidelines as required by the office of the BC Provincial Health Officer (BC PHO). We acknowledge that this situation is ever-evolving and are committed to updating this strategy as required.

Can I book a consultation before committing to a session?
arrow_drop_down

Yes, I offer complimentary phone consultations to help you determine if we’re a good fit. This is a great opportunity to ask any questions and learn more about my approach.

Cancellation Policy
arrow_drop_down

Your appointment time is reserved just for you! I require 24 hours notice for any cancellations.

A late cancellation or missed visit leaves a hole in my day that could have been filled by another client. Clients who provide less than 24 hours notice will be charged a fee of $50. If the appointment is missed entirely the full fee is charged.

Do I need to be an artist to do Art Therapy?
arrow_drop_down

Not at all. There is no experience required as art therapy is about the process rather than the product of your creation. Exploring creatively is more about the feelings that you have during your journey rather than what the image looks like at the end.

Do you accept insurance?
arrow_drop_down

Most extended health plans in BC cover the services of Registered Clinical Counsellors. Refer to your plan manual or call the insurer and they will be able to assist you.

If you have coverage, you will be required to pay me directly in full for your session, and then submit your receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement.

How many counselling sessions will I need?
arrow_drop_down

The number of sessions varies depending on your unique situation and goals. Some individuals may find relief in just a few sessions, while others benefit from ongoing support. We’ll discuss your needs and tailor the frequency of sessions to your progress and comfort.

What is Art Therapy?
arrow_drop_down

Great question! Art Therapy is a therapeutic modality that explores incorporating the use of art and working through the creative process. This allows people to reach deeper levels of healing beyond talk therapy alone. Working with art can help empower individuals to express themselves without the use of words to facilitate healing.

What is Somatic Therapy?
arrow_drop_down

Somatic Therapy is a holistic approach to psychotherapy that taps into the mind-body connection. By tuning into physical sensations, Somatic Therapy can help process thoughts, feelings, and emotions that can turn up as stored stress, tension and trauma in the body.

Drawing from Somatic Experiencing® (SE™) and Mindfulness-Based Somatic Therapy techniques, I guide you in tuning into physical sensations and emotions. By gently navigating these sensations, you can release tension and foster a greater sense of ease and awareness in your body.

What should I expect in my first counselling session?
arrow_drop_down

The first session is focused on getting to know each other, understanding your concerns, and establishing your goals for therapy. We’ll explore what brought you here and discuss how counselling can support your needs.

What should I wear for a somatic therapy session?
arrow_drop_down

Clothing that is comfortable and allows for exploration of movement.

What types of issues can counselling help with?
arrow_drop_down

Counselling can help with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, body image concerns, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and personal growth. Together, we’ll explore what’s most important to you.
