Clients
“In my first session with Stephanie I knew that I was in a safe and compassionate place. That environment and Stephanie’s mind-body approaches were extremely helpful and allowed me to reach some deep dark places. After a few months working with Stephanie I feel re-energized and hopeful. She has provided me with a number of helpful tools to help me on my journey ahead.” Nov 2010
“Working with Stephanie, I have been able to discover a whole world of possibility to heal inside of myself. Through her guidance using felt sense work, I have been able to tap into truths about myself that I had kept hidden for years. Stephanie is helping me develop the tools I need to help me through rough patches and ability to recognize patterns in myself that are holding me back in my life and my relationship(s). Because our work is based in ‘felt sense’ and imagery, I can take the work home and out into the world to help me strengthen my self awareness as well as work though difficult times.” Nov 2010
“I’ve worked with Stephanie in the past few months on some very difficult issues and she has helped to guide me through a dark period in my life. She has also helped me to find creative ways to re-direct my own life by putting together life goals and plans. I find that Stephanie is very intuitive and compassionate and she often followed up a session by forwarding additional resources that were helpful to my therapy.” Sept 2010
“Stephanie and I have worked very closely together in the past few months, she has taken me from a place of darkness and hopelessness to a place where I can finally see a shimmer of light, and she has been so amazing and caring. I feel like Stephanie really cares about me and has taken so many extra steps to help me out. I really believe in and trust her and feel a very strong bond with her. It is very nice to work with someone that truly cares.” March 2010
Colleagues
“I supervised Stephanie at her intern site for her Masters in Counselling Psychology from September 2008 to May 2009. During her internship, Stephanie provided individual, couples, and family counselling for cancer patients and their family at various times throughout the cancer trajectory (e.g., diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, recurrence, bereavement). Cancer can be an incredibly stressful experience. Stephanie brought a gentle strength and a broad base of counselling skills that assisted her clients to decrease stress, increase coping, and better navigate this difficult experience. Stephanie attends to the whole person in her counselling work (e.g. body, mind, feelings), and she is experienced in body-centered work in particular. Something I really appreciate about Stephanie is that she deeply values her clients and the therapeutic relationship. I also value that Stephanie is reflective, practices regular self-care, and is drawn to growing and learning. I hope you enjoy working with Stephanie as much as I did!” Marita Poll, M.Ed, Registered Clinical Counsellor, 2009
