Vicky Finlayson

I enjoy supporting people who find themselves wanting counselling to find ways forward in navigating life’s difficulties. In counselling I bring Narrative CBT and Compassion focused therapy.  And a few others depending on what a person brings to discuss. Finding strategies which work for you to be able to move forward in life.  Our conversations will be a LGBTQIA+ safe space.

I also have a passion for working with mental health and other professionals in maintaining their professional practice, navigating the issues which arise at work and sustaining professional wellbeing. Supervision is a reflective process, supporting people to prevent work place burn out, ethical professional practice and functional aspects of the work. 

Supervisees – if your organisation is registered with the employee assistance service TelusHealth, you may be able to access fully funded professional supervision. 

My way of working with clients and supervisees is building collaborative relationships. I am also quite a practical person, and this filters through in conversations, exploring how a person can move forward with what ever issues they are facing. 

I also offer practical focused brief intervention therapeutic support, this can be achieved in 30 minutes or a 1 hour session depending on the issue.  This can be counselling or work place, supervision styled conversations.

Looking forward to meeting with you !
