From Surviving to Thriving
Bethany Zelent
Internationally Registered Counsellor
[email protected]
With 8 years of experience as an internationally accredited psychotherapist, I specialize in trauma recovery, somatic practices, shadow work and spiritually integrative therapy to bridge evidence-based practices with intuitive inquiry. I am passionate about supporting you to reconnect with your authentic self by overcoming perfectionism and people-pleasing. I weave mindfulness and existential insight to help clients align with their values and find inner peace.
I am always working myself out of a job.
I see myself as a guide collaboratively navigating the abyss with clients. I want clients to no longer need me. I want clients to learn to trust themselves through the co-regulatory intimate space of therapy.
I do the work I do with clients myself. I never ask anyone to do work I haven't done myself. Practically, that means every workbook I've made (over 40 of them), I've done myself more than once. Like three times over. More intangibly, that means the work I do with clients I've already done (or am doing) myself.
Carl Jung said that an analyst can only bring their clients how far they themselves have healed and I take that very seriously.
As an explorer of the subconscious, I’ve learned to sit with questions instead of rushing toward answers. I embrace the gifts of uncertainty, the trust that comes from engaging with the unknown. I integrate frameworks of healing from academia, psychological theory, and holistic practices, and together, we can find the path that works best for you. We navigate nuance to explore the depths and breadth of your psyche, through the lens of clarity and insight.
Embracing Depth, Meaning, and Self-Discovery
Journey beyond surface living to uncover insights, presence, and the wisdom already within you.
With 12 years of intensive study & certified training in 🎓 psychology, science 🔬 and spirituality🔮, I’ve integrated feminist interventions, attachment theory and spiritual healing. I honed my practice in my Masters of Counselling and expanded my practice as a reiki master.
Through my own healing journey of body trauma, I’ve discovered the 🗝 keys of:
nervous system regulation ⚖️
relating to our emotions (hint: it’s not all about control)
trauma-informed embodiment
reparenting my inner child ⏳
cultivating self-trust by listening to desire
the importance of energy clearing 🧿
I know it isn’t enough just to know cognitively. I offer tangible, practical steps to take healing into your own hands. Together, we create consciousness to integrate (not avoid) pattern repetition🔁.
As a Capricorn Sun♑️ ☀️, I am deeply practical.
As a ♓️ 🌙 Pisces Moon, I feel all with you (not for you - but deeply with).
As a Scorpio Rising ♏️ ⬆️ , I’m not afraid to map your depths with you.
I’m not here to sell you anything. I’m extending an invitation to map your inner world 🗺, to explore the depths of your psyche and you have the sovereignty to decline that invitation. I know that life is very generous and will keep extending you invitations 💌 to show up as your authentic Self. You can say YES to yourself.
