Genieve Morison is a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor with the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada (ACCT). She is certified in holistic life coaching, health coaching and wellness counselling. Genieve is trained in CBT, DBT, somatic therapy, narrative therapy and eco therapy. Genieve is trauma and addictions informed, crisis intervention and non-violent communication informed. She is trained in goal setting, leadership and communication, giving her the capability to help others heal and grow - working in the past, present and future using the biopsychosocial model.
Genieve Morison has always had an innate curiosity about this life experience and loves diving deep into philosophical conversations and connecting with humans in meaningful ways. She is a creative artist, authentic and honest, and proud member of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. These elements have great impact on the space she holds and the work she does.
She was first launched into this work when she suffered a series of concussions, throwing her into unexpected trauma and transition resulting in an identity crisis and a variety of physical, mental and emotional challenges. As she walked the concussion healing journey she discovered missing life-skills and intrinsic understandings of her personal human processing - directly impacting her healing and every area of her life. Genieve witnessed the first hand value and impact the inner-self-work has in life and immediately knew she wanted to help others in a deeply supportive way, influencing Genieve’s decision to go back to school and gain the education necessary to help.
Genieve graduated with her holistic life coaching certificate and professional counselling diploma and has devoted many hours to understanding what it takes to achieve healing and change in this life. She holds comforting space with a holistic and human feel and works to help clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their human processing (utilizing a foundation in CBT). She focuses on helping clients strengthen their life skills and gain awareness in real time to have the space and opportunity to make alternative decisions and achieve the change they are looking for. With her unique background in creative arts, movement and dance Genieve is able to offer a specialized approach to help heal emotional and mental challenges with body movement and expressive arts (no artistic or dance background necessary).
