CELNA SOUSA |
Associate Therapist |
Hello, my name is Celna Sousa, and I am an Associate Therapist at Thrive Counselling. I know there is no single or right approach for most, especially when things are constantly changing today. Mindfulness is the focus of my practice. By focusing on the present, we become the main driver over the struggles we experience in life. The benefit of mindfulness is limitless as it provides individuals the space to explore ideas, opportunities, and possibilities to emerging concerns. My clients are able to build confidence, strengthen relationships and develop personal tools to manage on their own in this process. My work also includes managing a breadth of diverse cases, from depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, stress, death to end of life cases.
Having worked for over a decade in the public sector, my experience also includes working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families affected by members undergoing terminal illness, tenant/landlord disputes, home-evictions, and family breakdowns. While I provide Counselling services primarily in English, I also welcome Filipino speaking clients.
I’m a Registered & Licensed Social Worker (RSW) in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Ontario. I have a Master of Social Work degree (MSW) from the University of Manitoba & trained in Mindfulness and Psychosomatic Therapy (Mind and Body). I have also obtained certification in Trauma work and registered as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). My therapy style takes on a collaborative approach by assessing where my clients are, and blending my training in Mindfulness, Psychosomatic Therapy, and Trauma-work to support and meet their needs.
Art has always been a part of my life & when traveling I enjoy perusing places with large murals by artists from around the world. I am also an avid reader and enjoy reading books from all genres, being outdoors (hiking/fishing), and spending time with my dogs and family.
