We are excited to welcome Reilly Scott, our newest Master’s of Counselling practicum student counsellor at Strength in Heart Counselling in Victoria, BC! Reilly brings a wealth of knowledge, compassion and a deeply holistic approach to therapy that aligns perfectly with our mission to empower individuals on their healing journeys.
A Trauma-Informed & Holistic Approach
Reilly’s practice is rooted in a trauma-informed, relational, and holistic perspective. She prioritizes the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, offering a safe and supportive space for clients to explore and heal. Her approach is deeply influenced by Compassionate Inquiry, a psychotherapeutic method developed by Dr. Gabor Maté. This method gently guides individuals to connect their thoughts with body sensations, emotions, and belief systems, helping uncover and address the root causes of mental health challenges.
