Holistic Supervision for Helping Professionals & Counsellors
Bethany Zelent
Professional Counselling Supervisor

With nearly a decade of experience, I provide tailored professional and counselling supervision emphasizing individuation, embodiment, and authenticity. My goal is to optimize therapist growth, fostering transformative client experiences through personalized guidance and support.
Educated & Registered with...
Embodied Existentialism
Narrative | Somatic | Practical | Holistic
Infusing Jungian symbolism and existential themes with somatic creative practices, integrative supervision will bring change into your everyday. Supervision sessions are an expression of two of my closest core values - the non-hoarding of knowledge and a commitment to work myself out of a job. I want you to have the knowledge, skills and support you need to do work you love. These sessions are a unique integration of personal reflection to foster self-awareness and professional growth to explore your purpose and passion.

Transform Knowledge to Wisdom
Back to the Basics and Down to the Depths
Through integrative supervision, you'll learn how to help clients help themselves. By integrating Embodied Existentialism, you'll deepen your professional intuition to identify obstacles to growth and alchemize your potential. This framework incorporates personal and professional processes, guiding you back to yourself so you can do the same with the people you serve. You'll learn to tap into the wisdom of the body - yours and your clients, while maintaining an ethical and boundaried structure. You'll learn to listen to the language of your body to differentiate your "stuff" from theirs and become a translator for client stuck points.
Can you picture the life you deserve?
It's closer than you think.
You are living a fulfilling life where you are well-compensated for doing what you love—supporting others while honoring your own boundaries. A life where you feel the importance of depth in your relationships with those you serve, recognizing that true support requires a commitment to your own well-being. A life with the intention of providing meaningful care, knowing that it’s a privilege to work closely with individuals as they navigate their own journeys.
In this life, you create space for both joy and reflection, finding beauty in the connections you build and the lives you touch. You acknowledge that your work is vital—not just for your own fulfillment but for the greater good of the community. Each interaction is an opportunity to inspire, uplift, and empower others, fostering a sense of shared humanity.
You deserve a life that resonates with your values and passions, one that celebrates your contributions while allowing you to thrive. Embrace the joy of helping others, knowing that your dedication and authenticity make a lasting impact on the world. This is the life you were meant to live—one that honors your heart and spirit, inviting you to create a legacy of compassion and support.
Love your job. Embody your work.
Prioritizing burnout prevention, supervision sessions are designed to enrich your professional growth by nurturing your skills to navigate challenges with confidence to make a meaningful impact in the work you do. Engaging in supervision enhances confidence, competence, improves client relationships and deepens your fulfillment. You deserve to be supported in the same way you support others.

How to guide clients to empowerment through embodiment
Therapy and the helping profession in general are unique. It's one of the few careers where your whole self - who you are as a person - is essential to the work you do. It is your unique experiences, expertise, education and framework that informs the client relationship, whether in a counselling room or in a helping program. The person of the professional is the container for the clients' change.
Talking the Talk
"You can only guide clients as far as you yourself have dared to explore." - C.G. Jung
So much of the change process is intangible so it's imperative to hone your professional intuition to know when to ask what question and when to bask in reverent silence. Informed by intuition, therapists and helping professionals incorporate technique and intervention, but the unspeakable how & when is intuition. While intangible, intuition is not impractical. You can grow your own self-trust to inspire, model, teach and empower clients how to do the same. By exploring and expanding your own edges, you can transform knowledge into wisdom.
