Spaces of Integration
The times I’ve been entrusted to hold space for reflection, dialogue, and integration, where insight is not rushed, where community becomes medicine, and where growth unfolds at a human pace.
Virtual Live Workshop | February 2026
Narrative Therapy Professional Development
Have you ever sat with a client and felt the story they’re telling about themselves is the very thing keeping them stuck?
“I’m just an anxious person.”
“I always ruin relationships.”
“This is just who I am.”
Narrative therapy gently interrupts those conclusions.
It creates space to separate people from problems.
To uncover forgotten strengths.
To help clients re-author the stories they’ve been living inside.
This workshop was designed for counsellors and therapists who want practical, usable tools (not just theory).
In 90 minutes, we explored core narrative principles, walked through case examples, and practiced interventions you can bring directly into session.
This workshops supports building confidence, helping clients shift limiting beliefs and reconnect with agency, this space is for you.
Building Private Practice
Virtual Live Workshop | November 2025
In this 3-hour interactive workshop, participants stepped into a space where their vision for a private practice began to take shape. They explored crafting bios that spoke directly to the clients they were meant to serve, designing websites that felt both welcoming and intuitive, and identifying niches that reflected their unique strengths and passions. Together, we mapped out business plans that were practical, sustainable, and aligned with personal values, uncovering strategies to confidently build and fill a caseload, from client intake to Psychology Today profiles.
Throughout the session, therapists engaged in reflective exercises that sparked clarity and confidence, gaining tools they could immediately apply. By the end, the group glimpsed a practice that worked not just for their skills, but for the life they wanted to create. You can create a practice that is intentional, ethically grounded, and aligned with who you are as a clinician.
For those ready to go deeper, Thrive offers a full private practice course to build on these foundations with step-by-step guidance and coaching.
Compassion Fatigue Prevention
Virtual Live Workshop | November 2025
In this 90-minute workshop, eating disorder crisis line volunteers explored how to sustain empathy while protecting their own mental health. Participants learned practical strategies for detecting and preventing burnout and compassion fatigue, from grounding techniques to small, daily acts of self-care. Through reflective exercises and interactive discussion, they discovered ways to separate work and home selves, stay present with callers, and nurture their own resilience. By the end, volunteers felt equipped, seen, and supported, reminded that caring for themselves is as essential as caring for others.
Psychospiritual Integration in Counselling
Virtual Live Workshop | June 2025
In this 2-hour psychospiritual integration workshop, counsellors explored how to bring spirituality ethically into their practice while deepening their personal connection to meaning-making. Participants reflected on their own spiritual tools, practiced meditation and ritual, and examined how archetypes and mythology can enrich both self-awareness and client work. Through interactive exercises, discussion, and reflective prompts, they discovered ways to honor cultural context, maintain professional boundaries, and integrate spiritual approaches alongside psychological theory. By the end, attendees felt more confident, grounded, and inspired to weave intention, curiosity, and ethical spiritual practice into their counselling work.
Symbols of the Self
Virtual Live Seminar | February 2025
In this 60-minute talk, participants explored the transformative power of Jungian mythology and symbolism to deepen self-understanding and meaning-making. Through discussion and reflective exercises, they examined archetypes, dreams, and universal stories as gateways to uncover hidden aspects of the self, confront the shadow, and navigate inner conflict. Attendees discovered how mythology can illuminate personal patterns, foster authenticity, and guide healing. By the end, participants felt inspired to engage with symbolic language in their own lives, embracing the depth, complexity, and wholeness of their inner worlds with curiosity and insight.V
