THERAPIST COACHING + CASE consultation
In addition to my role as a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist, I am a Clinical Coach and Consultant who provides case consultation, coaching and mentorship for those new to the field and those who are seasoned therapists.
When working with therapists and counsellors, I take on several roles which include being a mentor, teacher, and coach. At the heart of Clinical Coaching and Consultation, my role is to help foster the professional growth and development of therapists in an empathetic, encouraging and educational way. I also assist therapists and counsellors in improving case conceptualization and psychotherapy skills; exploring transference/counter-transference; and other related work challenges; and reducing burnout, compassion fatigue, or vicarious trauma.
Being in the helping profession for over 10 years, I have found that maintaining a self-care practice is essential to our overall wellness; but also a self-care practice has the added benefit of curbing the potential of compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma. As a Clinical Consultant and Coach, I encourage clients to develop and maintain their own self-care practice. For when we take care of ourselves, we have the capacity to be effective and empathetic in the work that we do!
As I primarily work with adult populations, I only provide coaching and consultation to clients working with youth over 16 years of age or to adult populations. Please note, clinical consultation and coaching is not to be replaced with clinical supervision for therapists.
