Hakomi and Internal Family Systems, are mindfulness, somatic psychotherapies, which give me the tools to assist people in self discovery, to remember their strengths, process grief/suffering, and to be empowered to choose more nourishing experiences and relationships.
I am committed to honouring the unique qualities of each individual and helping them explore their innate resources for well-being. Whether you are healing from a trauma, anxious about this stage in your life, or adapting to a changing world, we can work together to help you cultivate a more meaningful life and develop skills to navigate challenges. As both the Director and RCC at Thriving Roots Counselling Services, I support youth, couples, and families on their healing journeys, many who have been rediscovering their own gifts and resilience with my support.

I serve adults, children, families and couples working through the complex realities of our time. Do you have trouble finding belonging in community, to the Earth, and your life path? Do you feel hopeless and yet strive forward knowing there's something deep calling you? Do you believe in working towards peace, yet conflicts in your relationships continue as you struggle to find your way through? Do you struggle with self love, shame, feeling as though you can never do enough? Do you have a deep sense of integrity, but are filled with grief of a world that won't see you or support you? Do you feel alone in it all?

These are unusual and challenging times. Old certainties fall away. Many of us feel isolated within concerns and uncertainties that cannot be spoken - there's simply no space for them. This can soon become a corrosive and frustrating experience: purpose and meaning fall away and even close and special relationships become more pale and unsatisfactory. However, the unsettling sense of something missing is actually rich with information about what you may need: think about everything that the empty space in a jigsaw puzzle tells you about the missing piece, and what you might look for. Psyche is not out to get us!

I offer counseling services to individuals, couples and adolescents on Salt Spring Island and virtually across Canada and the United States. My work is personal, compassionate and direct. I stay close to my client’s experience, without judgment, pointing towards opportunities for growth. Life presents us all with challenges and sometimes we need help facing them. We often need a mirror to help us understand how to change outdated behaviors that are just not working or resolve inner conflicts that are keeping us from living a fulfilling life.

If you're looking for long lasting change and finally breaking patterns, I'd love to support you. "Somatic counselling with Fiona is bringing change to my life in a powerful and profound way. I can't explain what exactly is happening inside me, it isn't the work I'm used to doing in counselling, and yet when the connection happens and release comes I feel like I have unloaded years worth of heavy emotions. My life is naturally shifting in ways that I never imagined possible, my body has started to process emotion differently, I am thinking about life differently, and I feel powerful. I am shifting in ways that I never imagined."

Family Systems Counsellors
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
