COUNSELLOR, ARTIST, SOMATIC-PRACTITIONER, CONFLICT CONSULTANT, MENTAL HEALTH EDUCATOR
Hi, my name is Jordhynn Guy. I am a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC) and a student and colleague of Restorative Practices Alliance.
I am passionate about helping you live from a place of authenticity, connection, and emotional attunement. I use a somatic psychodynamic approach, incorporating metaphor, psychosomatic education, and restorative practices to help you reconnect to the vitality that is within you.
I offer two types of services in-person & virtually:
Individual Counselling for Teens and Adults (16+)
Conflict Consultations for individuals seeking guidance on both inner turmoil and relational conflicts with others
INDIVIDUAL & COUPLES COUNSELLING
INDIVIDUAL & COUPLES COUNSELLING
Individual Counselling
Maybe you’re suffering - feeling lonely, anxious, isolated, empty, or depressed. Or maybe you’ve suffered through a difficult relationship, an impossible loss, a traumatic experience (or series of experiences), and this has left you struggling to secure a sense of belonging in the world and even to your own Self.
I work with a somatic psychodymamic approach, utilizing techniques for growth which foster deeper aliveness in life and connection to self. In world that teaches isolation and self-reliance, my approach to improving your wellbeing lies in rewiring safe connection and secure dependence. Using parts-work, metaphor, and somatic practice, we’ll get curious about the patterns you’ve developed to survive and develop techniques for growth which turn cycles of distress into cycles of healing. My special interests lay at the intersections of reconciliation, trauma, and restorative justice, and we will naturally explore these junctions together in session.
My areas of special interest include:
C-PTSD (Emotional, Sexual, Physical, Intergenerational Trauma, Cult Exposure, etc.)
Relationship with Food, Body Image & Changing Bodies (Ex-athletes, Postpartum, Gut-health, etc.)
Life Transitions - Grief & Anger Exploration (Emigration, New Parents, Adjusting to Losing a Loved One, etc.)
Authenticity Exploration (Hearing, Listening to, & Trusting Your Intuition)
Repair (Forgiveness, Divorce, etc.)
Faith & Spirituality (Purpose & Identity, with specific knowledge in Christianity & Judaism)
Identify the barriers you’re currently facing
How We’ll Work Together
Explore the underpinnings of these circumstances - how they came about, the ways they’re affecting you, and what is making it difficult to break these cycles of distress
Identify how beliefs, survival mechanisms, and negative patterns you’ve built are serving to reinforce the barriers you’re experiencing
Implement and practice practical and emotional skills to renegotiate these beliefs, survival mechanisms, and patterns in order to support cycles of healing
