Meaning Making Counselling is where a counsellor can help a client understand, interpret, and find a sense of purpose within major life events, losses, or traumatic events from past or present. It can be a supportive, person-centred space where you can navigate what life might be asking of you in this moment. Together, we explore concerns such as anxiety, stress, relationship challenges and life transitions. Our work is collaborative and tailored to your goals, pace, and personal background. Depending on your needs, sessions may blend talk with body-mind techniques to help you build emotional regulation, deepen self-awareness, and reconnect with a sense of safety, choice and agency with what is happening in front of you.
Counselling is different from psychotherapy as it does not address severe mental health conditions but is rather suited for folks who have a pull towards self awareness and understanding thremselves and their existence. It can help address issues of anxiety, depression, issues in relationship, and a loss of meaning in life. Helping to untangle from patterns that were once helpful but may no longer serve us.
Couples Counselling
Couples can benefit from understanding the many facet of complexity in each others perspective as well as their own. It's never just about the sock on the floor or the dishes in the sink but the emotions behind these gestures. What might seem like a harmless glass left on the kitchen counter to one partner, can feel like an invasion of space to the other. The work is to understand, accept and learn to communicate needs in a healthy manner.
ABOUT
My name is Hoiking. I have been practicing as a Counsellor since 2019. I studied Existential Psychotherapy at The Living Institute. My have been supporting folks on their journey of healing to reconnecting with lost parts of themselves. I draw from and integrate various frameworks such as: Existential, Person-Centred, Somatic, Family Systems, Anti-Opressive, Anti-Racist. With that said, the goal is to come up with a way that works best for you. My role is not as an expert or authority over your experience but rather to help facilitate a space where you can begin to recognize your own gifts.
