Online Therapy Session

Service Description
Body-oriented therapy is a form of counselling that explores the relationship between your thoughts, emotions, lived experiences and bodily experience. Rather than focusing only on what is happening cognitively, it also considers how stress, life transitions and emotional experiences can be expressed through breathing, posture, movement, muscle tension, energy levels and the way we relate to ourselves and others. In our sessions, conversation remains central. At the same time, we may gently bring attention to bodily sensations, breathing, posture or movement when they help deepen awareness of your experience. The goal is not to interpret the body or "fix" symptoms, but to develop a clearer understanding of how your experiences are lived and carried, creating space for greater flexibility, self-awareness and choice. My approach integrates principles of Integrated Body Psychotherapy (IBP/PCI), psychosocial intervention and an intercultural, feminist and intersectional perspective. I work within the framework of a helping relationship, respecting each person's pace, history and individual context. This service may be helpful if you are experiencing: * Life transitions, such as immigration, career changes, separation or major life decisions. * Chronic stress, emotional overload or difficulty slowing down. * Anxiety, persistent worry or feeling disconnected from yourself. * Relationship challenges, communication difficulties or recurring interpersonal patterns. * Questions related to identity, belonging or adapting to a new environment. * Grief, loss or significant changes in your personal life. * A desire to better understand the connection between your emotions, your body and your daily life. My practice is especially suited for: * Adults * Immigrants and 2sLGBTQIAPN+ communities * Individuals looking for a reflective, body-aware approach to emotional well-being and personal growth. I provide receipts for naturopathic services for all insurance companies except Industrial Alliance.
