Havenwood
Clinical Counselling in Duncan, BC & Online
Experiential counselling for anxiety, trauma, depression, stress, anger, fear, doubt and life transitions, such as divorce, grief and loss.
Experiential therapy is a transformative process.
Counselling is not just talk. It is more than thinking about problems.
In our sessions, we listen and care about actual experience.
Our experiences are intelligent, and together we uncover the deeper emotional learning beneath them.
Through this approach, clients can emerge from the roots of long-standing patterns and create meaningful, lasting change.
EXPERIENTIAL PRINCIPLES
Working at the root. Rather than simply managing symptoms, experiential therapy seeks to transform the emotional learning and implicit patterns that give rise to them.
Attention to experience. Working from experience versus speaking from belief. This can be done through dyadic or creative means.
Safety and collaboration. Therapy moves at the client's pace. A trusting therapeutic relationship provides the safety needed to explore difficult experiences without becoming overwhelmed.
Focused therapeutic work. Emphasis is on emotions and patterns as they emerge, creating opportunities for transformation in the moment.
