Counselling

At some point in most people’s lives, there comes a time when we realize we simply need help, support and empowerment from a qualified professional. It might be due to anxiety, depression, a transition or crisis at home or at work, a relationship breaking down, because trauma from the past has resurfaced, or even due to parenting challenges. Whatever it may be, I invite you to contact me, for a complimentary conversation so you will get to know if we are a good fit to work together. In my practice, I work with individuals and with couples.

Beyond traditional “Talk Therapy”

As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor with ACCT (Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists), and professional certified coach, I use a blend of approaches including Gestalt, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique, powerful inquisitive questions that generate new insights, and Relational Somatic Therapy (RST). RST means that as we build deeper trust while working together, the professional caring comes to support and empower the process of healing and finding resolution of the issues troubling you.

The somatic approach means that the client is gently guided to access the wisdom and inner knowing of the body and nervous system through observing possible energy blocks or physical expressions that emphasize or sometimes contrast with verbal expressions. This also enables us to access the right brain where past traumatic events may still be stored in the implicit memory and impacting present ability to thrive and function optimally.

If you are curious and eager to find out more about how this service can help you to heal, regain new motivation, vitality, hope and peace of mind, please take that first step to arrange a free consultation by emailing me at isabelle@inspiredmomentum.com
