My Carleton Place Office
Beverley had her clinical placement at the Phoenix Centre for Children and Families in Renfrew. She provided Sandplay Therapy with symbolic figures and story telling, Person Centered Therapy,and led social skills groups for children with severe emotional and behavioural issues, who attended a treatment classroom. She provides therapy for children and youth in her private practice concerning special needs, loss, abuse, trauma, relationship or attachment issues, which often exhibit in difficult behaviours. Also available are: parenting assistance, family counselling, and couples counselling. In couples counselling she uses the research based Gottman Approach, The Solution Focused approach, or the Developmental Model of Couple's Therapy. These approaches help the couple have more empathy and understanding for one another and build a Sound Relationship House, as described by John and Julie Gottman. According to the Gottmans this involves knowing each other more, building skills to communicate needs more effectively, sharing fondness and admiration, turning towards each other instead of away, managing conflict, helping dreams come true, and creating shared meaning.
Beverley also helps individual adults with work related concerns. She has had 5 years experience as an EAP counsellor. She has assisted adults with many mental health issues, or concerns, such as depression, anxiety, family issues, parenting, loss, work, or romantic relationships. She has also assisted people who have experienced difficult events and have PTSD, including first responders. She also facilitates those who just want to feel happier, more peaceful, be more confident, have better relationships, and to be more successful in life. Often there is a past difficult event, trauma, or loss, that is holding the person back. When that is fully looked at and eventually released there is a freedom to live in the present with more success.

Beverley's Journey
On a personal level I have been on a long path of inner healing and personal growth. I have taken many workshops including Shamanic teachings, dealing with Separation and Divorce, moving on to find a higher purpose and Ishaya Ascension Meditation. I completed the 1st year of the Shamanic Coaching Program with the Institute of Shamanic Medicine.
One of the most pivotal times in my life was the deep 7 year inner journey I took to heal and reclaim lost parts of myself with a very wise Aboriginal Counsellor named Eutonnah Olsen-Dunn. During that journey of love and beauty I went on many amazing travels to my “sacred place” of inner knowing and learned much about shamanic dream work, imagery and personal reclamation.
What I learned most besides the importance of love, was to always go inside first to seek answers.
This has been expanded greatly by learning Ishaya Ascension Meditation. Going inside, calming the mind and surrendering in trust to a higher power is what helps me most in my work and in life. I have also done my own process in Sandplay Therapy, Traumatic Incident Reduction and Life Stress Reduction. All of these processes have led to more joy and contentment, more success, and improved relationships.
