Empower Your Journey:
Choose Healing and Grow Into Your Destiny
Become your true self
You probably have a sense that you possess more capability at your core than you are currently accessing. You might also have a sense of who you desire to become or who you have always wanted to be. I know that your ability to evolve, your resilient heart and your desire is leading you somewhere new.
I also know that your choice to lean into support on this journey is vulnerable. This requires courage and trust. This vulnerability has the power to take you to the new place you desire. It’s true that only you know what you need to thrive in your life and it is you who will do the work it takes to heal. Having a reflective witness who can also be a compassionate guide will help you navigate through your challenges from a place of empowerment. This support will accelerate your healing journey. It is my honour to be with you to co-create a safe container for you to explore past experiences and patterns that are ready to shift and navigate your way into becoming who you are truly meant to be. Here are some of the benefits of Counselling.
How Counselling Can Help
Increase Self-knowledge:
Knowing how our experiences have shaped us, what our triggers are, how we cope and our weaknesses gives us the opportunity to notice when we are reacting from those places. Knowing gives us choice and opens the door to greater possibilities.
Cultivate Healthy Relationships:
Humans are relational beings, we need meaningful connection with other people. We need to feel that we are cared for and that we belong to thrive.
Improve Self-esteem and Confidence:
As we experience consistent compassionate support we begin to feel seen, heard and understood. We start trusting that we matter, not just for our accomplishments but simply for who we are. This is the foundation of worthiness.
Increase Emotional Awareness and Compassion:
Approaching emotions with curiosity, rather than bypassing or suppressing them, allows us to experience and attend to them without being defined by them.
Become Intrinsically Motivated:
Dealing with the aftermath of traumatic events or navigating significant life changes? These experiences can leave lasting impacts, requiring support and understanding.
Increase Agency and Ability to Advocate for Yourself:
Knowing that you have the capacity to influence your own thoughts and behaviours along with having faith in yourself allows you to feel stable through conflict and change.
Your Guide to Personal Transformation
A Journey of Growth and Healing
My name is Geneva Jacobs. I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (ACCT #3259), a breathwork facilitator, and have apprenticed with a traditional Irish shamanic healer. I also have a background in childcare and facilitate parenting groups. My passionate, curious nature loves digging in and going deep to reveal the truth of your being. My kind, patient side loves tending a safe, spacious container for you to unfurl and emerge from. I enjoy embodied, imaginative and transpersonal work. I weave approaches based in attachment theory, somatic therapy, parts work, emotionally focussed work, and beyond.
My life experiences brought me through family traumas, grief, depression, anxiety, medical crisis, infertility, relationship issues, sexual issues, religious issues, spiritual crisis and more. Years ago, I embarked on a quest to find ease with life and confront my pain. I found counselling was the key. It helped me unravel feelings of worthlessness, despair, and disconnection transforming them on a journey of self-discovery and growth. This evolutionary path brought a new sense of embodiment, altering my thought patterns and allowed me to find ease in my being. Counselling has aligned me with my true self, enriched my relationships and enabled me to trust that the world is a supportive place. These shifts are not unique to me. We all have profound capacity for change, once we choose to embrace it.
As your guide, I bring my personal transformation and professional expertise to help you navigate your own path. Together, we can explore your challenges, uncover patterns and defenses, and equip you with tools for meaningful change. I encourage you to bring your whole self including, your messy parts, your shadow, your light, your dreams and even your magical self to sessions. Let’s embark on this journey towards loving your life, embracing every emotion, and finding joy in your everyday existence.
