Struggling to move past your family issues? Here’s some quick advice therapy - Clinical Counselling and Shaking Up Mental Health in Victoria, Bc Canada.

You can’t choose your family, that’s for sure.

But…

You can choose yourself.

A bit cliche, I know. But lemme tell ya -

Family Healing + Confident Action? = 🔥 and you're unstoppable.

Family healing is often the missing piece in unlocking reduction in anxiety, figuring out who you are (identity), more confidence and overall fully OWNING this big life that you can absolutely have if you want to.

I spent years blaming my family members for how they made me feel and how my needs were not met as a kid. But it. never. helped.
I spent some more years as a new therapist blaming my client’s family members! But it. never. helped.

Blaming can be valid.
It is a good coping mechanism! Until… you’re stuck and all you’re doing is blaming and still feeling like crap.

So.. what do we do?
The answer lies between:
a) Healing what you’ve been through
and
b) Taking the reins back over your life with intentional actions to create the live you deserve to live.

If you can get to the magic place of healing your family stuff so that it’s not controlling you and your mental health anymore,
THEN
Match that with bold, confident action to move toward the life you really want?

You’re unstoppable.

• How are the patterns from my childhood holding me back from what I deserve?

Don’t put much pressure on the answer here - see what comes out.
Some eg’s could be : low self worth holding you back from dating/career/friendships, anxiety holding you back from travel.

This is our starting point.
Don't say you can't have it.

Because you undoubtably can.

The best part of adulthood is finally having the power to choose yourself, and go after this big, fun, confusing life that you were meant to live.

Shaking up the world of mental health + Clinical Counselling in Victoria, Bc.

Hey, i’m Ellie - i’m a clinical counsellor and psychotherapist with a fire in my belly to shake up mental health.

I’m Australian born n bred and currently living, loving and working on the unceded lands of the Lekwungen People in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

Out of my own frustrations from working in and researching youth mental health across the past decade seeing clients with anxiety, depression, relationship issues and feeling lost in who they are, I created Cocoon Mental Health, providing sessions, workshops and content for those of us who want to move on from our family issues and thrive in this big, sometimes confusing life.

Cocoon uses a chilled-out, creative approach to therapy (no boring, clinical b.s here!) with the belief that you can do and be all the things you want to - because you’ve always deserved more.
