Counselling
Counselling is a collaborative, goal-focused process intended to help individuals, couples, families, and groups address emotional, behavioural, and relational challenges. It provides a safe, confidential space to explore feelings, identify patterns, develop coping skills, and make purposeful changes.
Counselling can be short-term and focussed or longer-term and insight-oriented, depending on the participants needs and goals. Heart Song Therapy offers counselling services primarily online, however in-person sessions can be discussed. Book your “discovery call” today to find out what service may be best suited to you.

Supervision
Arts-Based Clinical Supervision
Arts-based clinical supervision integrates creative and expressive modalities into the supervisory process to deepen reflective practice, enhance emotional attunement, and expand clinical skills. It is applicable across disciplines including psychotherapy, art therapy, music therapy, dance/movement therapy, social work, and counselling.
Purpose and goals
Enhance reflective capacity: Use arts processes to access implicit knowledge, somatic feeling, and nonverbal material that verbal discussion may miss.
Strengthen clinical reasoning: Translate symbolic material into intervention planning, formulation, and treatment goals.
Support professional development: Foster identity formation, ethical awareness, and role clarity through experiential exploration.
Promote emotional regulation and containment: Provide safe, embodied ways to process countertransference, burnout, and vicarious trauma.
Cultivate creativity and flexibility: Model and practice artful approaches that supervisees can adapt to client work.
Structure and formats:
Individual supervision: One-to-one sessions where supervisee creates or engages with art to explore case material, relational dynamics, or personal responses.
Group supervision: Small groups use shared arts activities (e.g., collaborative collage, enactments, improvisation) to examine themes, parallel process, and peer learning.
Currently Heart Song Therapy offers arts-based clinical supervision to early career practitioners and students, with affordable options available. Please contact Brodie directly to inquire about current supervision offerings and discuss your needs.
