Meet Theresa Brulotte, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor on Vancouver Island
Hi, I am Theresa Brulotte. If you're looking for help from someone who's been there, that's me.
I come from a dysfunctional, painful childhood, and I've healed, with the help of others, from shame, blame, and not being worthy of belonging to living a life that I genuinely love. I am passionate about helping you find your way back to living life fully.
Today, I am comfortable in myself. I have learned how to navigate the highs and lows of life, always able to return to balance. I believe that you can, too. Living life fully alive is extraordinary. Let me help you discover that for yourself.
A Holistic Approach to Counselling and Healing
Nature has always been and still is a refuge and teacher. In nature, I experience safety, peace, and acceptance. I have taken shamanic training, which deepened my understanding of nature's life cycle and natural harmony, I now know that everything is interrelated. I invite all my clients to lean into the nurturing and teaching nature offers.
Counselling for Chronic Pain
My speciality is helping people navigate chronic pain, and for some, lessen chronic pain.
I come from a background of bodywork for almost 20 years before I became a counsellor. The reason I went into counselling is because behind all pain is some form of trauma. Because of my own personal experience with pain and trauma and then working with others, I realized I could help more if I switched to counselling. Working somatically with others, via their body and their energetic awareness.
Grief, Bereavement, and End-of-Life Support
If you're looking for someone to help you through the pain of grief and loss or the uncertainty of death and dying, I can help you there, too. I lost my father when I was a teen and have since lost many more relatives and friends. I have worked with hospice as a palliative assistant and with bereavement.
Life Experience That Informs My Counselling
I have been married for over 30 years and am the proud mother of two adult children and two grandchildren, all good teachers. I bring my experiences from massage, energy healing, shamanism, life coaching, and counseling to your session. Training in neurolinguistic programming, emotional freedom technique, and many energy techniques will allow me to support your emotional, physical, and energetic relationships and your growth and well-being.
Professional Training and Counselling Specialties
I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor. I specialize in Somatic Experience, Polyvagal Theory, IFS parts work, Palliative care, Bereavement work, and Solution-Focused and Person-centered therapy. I am a member of the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada (ACCT) #3558. Many health insurance companies recognize this designation.
I have had amazing people, teachers, and mentors who have helped guide me home to myself. The saying is true: It takes a village and a community to come home to oneself. I hope to be one of those people for you.
