Peaks and Valleys Counselling
My Name is Katie Tersmette, I am a licensed and experienced counsellor with a passion for helping others. I hold a Diploma in Applied Psychology and Counselling from the Kelowna College of Professional Counselling, where I gained comprehensive training and expertise in a variety of therapeutic approaches.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, including individuals, couples, and families, facing a range of challenges. My approach to counselling is rooted in empathy, compassion, and collaboration. I believe that every person has unique strengths and abilities, and my role as a counsellor is to provide a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
My therapeutic approach is person-centered, drawing from various theories and techniques to tailor the counselling process to each client's needs. Some of the modalities I utilize include Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Existential Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy. By combining these approaches, I can assist individuals in gaining insight, developing coping skills, and fostering personal growth.
I strongly believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and strive to create a warm and non-judgmental environment where clients feel safe to share their concerns and explore their emotions. I value open communication and collaboration, and I actively involve clients in the therapeutic process, ensuring that their goals and desires are at the forefront of our work together.
In addition to my professional training and experience, I also bring a deep sense of empathy and understanding to my practice. Having faced my own personal challenges, I understand the courage and vulnerability it takes to seek help and make positive changes. I am committed to providing a space that is free from judgment and stigma, where individuals can feel seen, heard, and supported.
