Low-Cost Counselling
As I complete internship requirements for my Graduate Degree in 2026, I’m very pleased to offer reduced-cost counselling services ($80/hr) at Shivani Wells Therapy group. I have practiced Somatic Therapy for years and my hope is that a Master’s level education and eventual designation as a Registered Clinical Counsellor will provide a larger container for integration and greater access for future clients.
I will provide body-based talk therapy grounded in the experiential approaches I am trained in: Somatic Experiencing, Relational Somatic Therapy and Focusing. Mindfulness of the present moment is at the heart of this work; it is intended to relieve traumatic stress, repair attachment wounds and restore balance to the nervous system. Under the supervision of Shivani Wells-Shaw, RCC, I will integrate these somatic modalities with Internal Family Systems (IFS) and parts work to aid internal coherence and reduce dissociative symptoms.
Ways that this offering differs from my Somatic Therapy Practice at 119 W Pender St:
The rates are significantly lower. If you are experiencing financial challenges, this is a more accessible opportunity to work with me
While respecting your confidentiality, I will discuss your case with my supervisor to support both my learning and your process
With your permission (you are free to decline), I will make privacy-protected audio recordings for use in supervision
Sessions are available both in-person and virtually (provided you are located in B.C.)
I will provide minimal touch-based interventions at this practice, there is no table available in the practice
I will not be offering creative engagement with materials as the space is not provisioned for it
There is less space and opportunity for movement exploration than in my somatic practice
