Stephanie Lofquist Counselling

Summary

I offer individual counselling and counselling for parents and caregivers online and by phone.

I having training in somatically-oriented therapy and trauma counselling supporting clients to bring curiousity and compassion to the personal experiences, memories, sensations, emotions and feelings they carry within. Paying attention to our inner experiences with compassion can ease responses like anxiety, depression and the effects of trauma and allow us to access to the deeper levels of awareness, wisdom, and self-guidance that reside within each of us.

I also have training in Emotionally-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) and support parents and caregivers by building on their skills and knowledge and processing emotion blocks that come up when caring for loved ones. EFFT is rooted in the belief of the healing power of families and their capacity to provide love and support.
