Compassionate Counselling for Exploring Complex Emotions
Meet Josie (Registered Clinical Counsellor #23299)
As a counsellor, my focus is to help my clients navigate complex emotions and experiences. With a foundation of empathy, trust, and active listening, I aim to offer a safe, supportive space where you can be accepted just as you are while working towards living more authentically.
I work with a wide array of issues, however I often help clients navigate grief, depression, ADHD/neurodiversity, identity shifts, trauma. While exploring how these things impact you will also evaluate coping behaviours that may no longer useful for you in order to shift into preferred behaviours. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioural, Narrative, and Attachment based therapies. I work in-person in Kelowna and virtually for those across BC. When I am not counselling, I enjoy drawing on my iPad, reading fiction, listening to podcasts, and spending lots of time outside.
