Welcome to Casey Counselling & Reiki Therapy

Hello!

Holly here, from Casey Counselling & Reiki Therapy in Sackville, NB.

I am a licensed counselling therapist and reiki master practitioner with the great honour of being able to practice what I love: chatting with and treating dynamic and inspiring people like yourself.

Yes, you.

I love my job. I have the privilege of sitting down every day with individuals who trust me enough to open up and talk about the stuff that’s weighing on them… if it’s counselling they come to me for. If they’re here for reiki, then I get to offer the unique and intangible experience of an energy treatment.

Why do I love providing these services so much?

It’s pretty simple, really. I’m naturally drawn to this work, and making connections with my clients fills me with a strong sense of fulfillment and purpose.

There’s a kind of magic that can happen in a therapeutic counselling relationship. The moment I close the door to my office and sit down across from a client, the connection begins, and it rarely takes long before I’m hearing things they’ve perhaps never said out loud to another person before. These could be secrets that they feel are shameful, dreams they’ve never dared to openly wish for, fears they just can’t shake, or emotions they want to learn how to share with others. Maybe they struggle with their relationship with food, their family, or academics. Sometimes they come to talk about one thing, then we discover together that the core concern comes from somewhere they didn’t expect.

Whatever they come to talk to me about, I listen. I listen and I ask lots of questions. My goal is not to try to “fix” anyone’s problems… my ego is big, but not that big! My goal is to listen intently so that I may hear things that perhaps my client doesn’t pick up on as they speak. I reflect back to them what I hear so that they have the opportunity to gain insights into their own thought processes. I hold space for uncomfortable pauses and awkward silences because I know they are often followed by meaningful revelations, which lead to valuable insights and ideas.

Essentially, I listen so that you may hear your own guidance.

Reiki is an entirely different experience. The “magic” of reiki is quiet, calming, restorative, and ethereal. If you’re not familiar with reiki, stay tuned for more blog posts. In the meantime, think of it as an energy massage of sorts. The client lies on a massage table while the practitioner focuses their attention on allowing energy to pass through their hands over the energetic body of the client. The goal is to assist the client’s energy to flow more smoothly, facilitating a deep sense of relaxation and wellbeing. It’s a difficult experience to describe, but there’s nothing quite like it.

Yes, every client is inspiring and dynamic. And if that’s not how you think of yourself, well then I guess that’s where our work might begin!

Welcome to my world. I hope you’ll visit often.

Stay tuned for more!
