DAWN CLARKE COUNSELLING
Integrative Trauma Therapy and Somatic Experiencing
I believe that healing occurs in relationships and through transformative practices to awaken our innate wisdom, strengths, and resilience. I support my clients in reconnecting with themselves, deepening relationships with others, and feeling aligned with their true nature. Our work together is about going beyond the emotional and intellectual understanding, to unlock what is stuck, then to integrate and transform the wounds that prevent us from living our ideal self.
Counselling helps clients to identify their feelings, ways of thinking, relating and behaving. As a result, they become better at coping with challenging life situations, relationships, and transitions. If you are looking to be accepted, cared for, and supported while making significant and meaningful changes, this is where I can be of service to you.
Dawn Clarke
RTC & Somatic Experiencing Practitioner
I have deep gratitude for the work that I do. My goal through gentle facilitation is to support my clients access to their own inherent capacity to heal.
I provide my client's with a range of heart-centered, embodiment, and integrative practices to facilitate wholeness of self and my focus is relational, experiential, and attachment-based.
Embodied Healing
Emotional Recovery
Unhealed past trauma can stem from birth complications, attachment disruptions, child, sexual, emotional, and verbal abuse. The charge from these experiences breaches our natural protective barriers. Somatic Experiencing and Touch help to restore access to our inherent, natural, and organic rhythm
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Whether you were in a car or motor vehicle accident years ago or have recently noticed mood and behaviour changes, Somatic Experiencing will gently help to discharge the excess energy associated with the accident and help you build strength and aliveness in your system.
Resilient Relationships
Relational respect is about honoring ourselves, our partners, and the relationship. We are not worse or better than, we are equal and from this space of healthy self-esteem , we acknowledge our imperfections, our struggles, and build skills to develop better communication.
Why Choose Counselling?
Counselling helps to give voice to our humanity — loss, pain, and struggle are common to all of us. As your counsellor, I will create a safe, supportive, and compassionate space for you to lean into uncomfortable emotions and sensations; ones that may not feel okay in the outside world. We do our best to navigate this very complicated world, and based on our experiences, we develop beliefs, perceptions, and narratives about who we are. Perhaps those beliefs once served us in a profound way, but at some point they come to challenge our lives in less productive ways, causing dysregulation, disharmony, and disappointment
Testimonials
Dawn is kind, warm, respectful, and even playful. As my safe haven, she supported me through a very difficult transition in my life. It felt so validating to be deeply listened to and understood.
