I work with a broad range of professionals & business owners offering professional & case consultation to help you feel more confident & creative, increase your knowledge & skills, improve clinical work & outcomes, increase client/customer retainment, ensure your business/practice thrives & prevent burn out.
Business Development
fee setting // finances // getting started // finding clients & customers // setting & maintaining boundaries // conflict style // management challenges // building & maintaining self-care // etc.
This is both practical and reflective support as you start, build or sustain your business. It may look like helping you fee set, working through ethical ways to charge & set fees & money beliefs; managing the books; or strategies to network; or it may be deeper work where we look at whats blocking your ability to set or maintain boundaries, guilt around enforcing policies, money trauma or charging a living wage, or perhaps its helping you lean into conflict so that you can manage more effectively for example.
Sex Therapy*
sex // sexuality // relationship style // gender // sensuality // erotism
Have you completed a psychotherapy, counselling or medical program but did not receive adequate training, experience or preparation that is needed to work with clients in the areas of sex, sexuality, relationship styles, gender, sensuality & erotism? Do you feel uncomfortable, embarrassed or shame when these topics arise in your client work? Do you avoid asking clients about this area of their life and relationships? Have you completed the sex therapy intensive at Guelph University or similar program but are unsure how to apply that knowledge into your client work?
I offer tailored support for cases you bring to consultation; education and health teaching where needed; integrating somatic and relational approaches; community and medical resources to support your work & refer clients to; exploring countertransference in these areas such as shame, avoidance, etc.; training, education & advice as you set up and provide pessaries for prolapse and incontinence
*this is for regulated health professionals only, including RPs, NPs, RSWs, RNs or MDs that provide therapy, counselling or want to set up and run a pessary clinic
Somatic / Nervous System / Polyvagal Approaches
I offer guidance, support & education to those who are wanting to or are currently working with somatic, nervous system or polyvagal approaches in their work. I help to clarify confusion around nervous system states & survival/adaptive responses from an embodied perspective; offer tools to support and resource clients you are working with tailored to their nervous system states & survival defences; help you understand polyvagal theory clearly & apply it in clinical work; I support you as you explore your own connection to your body, awareness of your current states & how that gets brought up in relation to your clients. I guide you as you develop your own resources to support you during this work with clients.
