Connect with Self-Compassion with Creative Journalling

Meet the Author, Bethany

My journey into facilitating self-discovery began long before I formally trained as a psychotherapist—it started in the quiet, messy moments of my own healing. Like many who walk this path, I was called to this work through personal transformation. I learned early on that the most profound shifts happen not when someone gives us answers, but when we feel safe enough to ask the right questions. Over the past decade, I’ve cultivated expertise in helping others peel back the layers of expectation, conditioning, and self-doubt to reconnect with their inner voice. Whether through somatic awareness, integrative reflection, or mythopoetic storytelling, my work centers on guiding clients back to their own wisdom. What excites me most is witnessing those moments of recognition—when someone sees themselves clearly and compassionately, perhaps for the first time. I believe self-discovery isn’t a luxury; it’s a vital act of reclamation. Becoming skilled in this practice took resilience. I’ve navigated burnout, the vulnerability of showing up authentically, and the discipline of ongoing supervision and learning. But each challenge refined my approach, clarified my voice, and deepened my capacity to hold space. My goal is to share what I’ve learned not as gospel, but as a living, breathing offering—tools and practices that others can adapt and make their own. Whether through one-on-one therapy, supervision, or community spaces like Healing, Feeling, Thriving, I’m here to champion curiosity, courage, and the messy beauty of being human.
