CIELIA HATCH, RPC, CCTP



Relationships: I am a Level Two Gottman Therapist, a leading edge couples counselling method based on over 40 years of research. I am also trained in Dr. Susan Johnson’s EFT method. Both methods are the most evidence based couples therapies available today. As well, I am a certified teacher of the Bringing Baby Home Workshop. Babies whose parents take this course are scientifically proven to be happier and smarter! Sign up for the free 16 email e-course with all the basics from the workshop here.


Compassion Fatigue: The three years I spent at the Drop In Centre as the trauma counsellor for staff gave me invaluable experience witnessing and helping workers on the front line. I am passionate about the resiliency model that Dr. Eric Gentry created, which is the only evidence based therapy out there bringing people from compassion fatigue to compassion resiliency. It works for front line workers and for anyone else with anxiety.


When Life Hurts: Whether you want to heal from past traumas, navigate current chaos, or want to learn how to ease distressing feelings, I can help you. We will help you explore what is best for you, and I can teach you how to implement change and achieve your goal of wellness faster than what you can get done on your own.

WHAT DOES COUSNELLING LOOK LIKE?


Counselling As Unique as You Are:

My counselling style is focused on you: what works best for you and how you want to approach your challenges. This is called a “client centered” approach. You may just want a place to vent. Or you may be ready to make lasting change.


While my expertise is transformation, you are the expert on yourself. So that means, although I have the array of the most effective tools, it is always you that leads the way and chooses which tools you like best. Together we create solutions in bite sized pieces for the future that you envision. Throughout, I seek to demystify the therapy process, and help bring you from surviving to thriving. It’s very exciting when you make it to your goal!


​​In addition, the core of my counselling approach will always include deep respect and warmth in an environment of safety and non-judgement.


First Visit?

If you have never had a counselling session previously, you may feel a bit nervous. Here is what it would look like: At the first session, we will explore what is happening in your life that you are unhappy with. I will listen to you, ask questions and take notes about your challenges and your symptoms. We will explore what you want your life to be like. Your goals are the biggest factor determining how short or long term treatment will be. For some people therapy is as short as one, a few or several sessions, for others counselling spans over many months or years. It may be regular, or sporadic. You choose the duration and interval between sessions in alignment with what you want to achieve.


Throughout the counselling process I will encourage you to ask questions, correct me if I am wrong or if I did not fully understand. If a technique I suggest doesn’t resonate with you, garbage it. Your feelings are your guidance system and it tells me what direction to move to next. We will find what works best for you. ​


Growth happens when you step outside of your comfort zone. Booking an appointment for the first time with a counsellor can be a little nerve wracking. I’ll do my best to help you feel at ease if you are feeling fearful.
