Axel is a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor offering sessions online and in person in Nelson, BC, on Sinixt territory. Using a somatic, attachment-based approach, they create a space of care and acceptance for folks to name and feel feelings, map out unhelpful patterns, and practice new ways of navigating life’s challenges.
Somatic therapy starts with the idea that our minds and bodies are interconnected. Together, we work with how your body is holding the past in order to build more resilience and choice in the present. In a session, we explore feelings, sensations, experiences and stories with kind intention to help integrate past experiences. In addition to using Relational Somatic Therapy as a base, Axel integrates other modalities such as Internal Family Systems, Narrative, and Person-Centred therapies.
Axel’s approach to counselling is centred on compassion, curiosity, relationship, and magic. Axel is committed to affirming experiences and identities that are traditionally marginalized, and their counselling work is grounded in an understanding of how systems of oppression impact our lives and the challenges we face.
