Equine Facilitated Counselling Traditional Clinical Counselling Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) Masters in Counselling Psychology - Trinity Western University |
My two passions in life are horses and helping others. I have chosen a career which combines both of them, which has landed me at Shamrock Counselling. I have over 20 years of professional counselling experiencing with children, adolescents, young adults and families. My capacity for care, empathy and insight is tremendous. My therapeutic skills, combined with my ability to connect deeply with my clients, allows me to quickly gain the trust and collaboration of clients while they move towards meaningful change. I am also an Equestrian Canada Certified Coach and have been riding, coaching and mentoring others for over 32 years. I have competed extensively and have ridden to the international level. Working alongside a horse, as my co-facilitator, is such a beautiful opportunity and one that I love to share with my clients. I have extensive experience and training in a variety of therapeutic approaches. I work collaboratively with the clients, identifying their strengths as well as helping them understand what may be getting in the way of experiencing their life and relationship in the most fulfilling and positive ways possible. |
