Holistic Counselling

Counselling is a process that helps people to better understand and heal themselves, their life experiences, their responses and actions while increasing awareness of their inner world and it's influence over relationships, both past and present.  Safe, empathetic listening can be very healing in both allowing and supporting the client's process of looking deep within to better understand and come to peace with themselves.

Counselling looks at the whole human being and the many complex factors that have contributed to making each person unique. It is a learning process of discovery and helps the client to understand in the mind the why and wherefore of what is happening in your life and provides the mechanisms for clients to find solutions.

Counselling empowers the client to better personal understanding, to make clearer choices and to achieve a more lasting independence.   It is a process, which, through active listening and other tools, facilitates a journey of self-discovery, revealing mechanisms by which people may empower themselves.
 
The fundamental values of counselling include commitments to:

• Respect human rights and dignity
• Insure the integrity of practitioner and client relationships
• Alleviate personal distress and suffering
• Foster a sense of self that is meaningful to the client
• Increase personal effectiveness
• Enhance the quality of relationships between people
• Appreciate the variety of human experience and culture

Holistic Counselling is a one on one service with a focus on helping the client become aware of where they hold their feelings in their body. The client is given the space, permission and guidance to travel deeper into the core feelings related to the issues that the client is currently facing.  When appropriate, the client is regressed back to significant points in the past and then guided and supported to bring healing and closure to the associated wounds, hence releasing the locked pain from the body. 

In Holistic Counselling, the counsellor maintains a sense of the client's wholeness, and both honors and respect's each person's vulnerability and wounds and at the same time can see that the person is more than their hurts. Humans have amazing potential to overcome even the biggest traumas when they can access the help and support that they need. Genevieve believes that all people have a limitless ability to heal themselves. The counsellor also honors that every individual needs to overall feel safe, liked, cared for, deeply listened to, believed and supported before they can safely open to another human being.

The healing power of a person sharing their story is immense.  When a client’s challenges and related feelings are shared in a space that is truly empathetic, spacious, honoring and sacred, true transformation can take place.
