Genieve Morison is a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor with ACCT (#3001), owner of Empowered Living Holistic Counselling and co-founder of The Den Wellness Collective.
Genieve has always had an innate curiosity about this life experience and loves diving deep in conversations and connecting with humans in meaningful ways. These qualities have great impact on the space she holds and the work she does.
She was first launched into her career when she suffered a series of concussions, throwing her into an identity crisis and a variety of physical, mental and emotional challenges. As she navigated the healing process she began to see missing pieces within the journey that were integral to the healing. The lack of support and guidance in the experience influenced Genieve's decision to go back to school when she was well enough. Her goal was to gain the education and understanding of how to help others who were in this same position. Genieve could see the first hand value and impact the inner-self-work and journey was having in her own life and knew there were many others that would benefit. As she walked the concussion healing journey she began to see where she was missing life-skills and deep understanding of her personal human processes - directly impacting her healing and also every area of her life.
Genieve graduated with her holistic life coaching certificate and professional counselling diploma and has devoted many hours to understanding what it takes to achieve healing and change in this life. She works to help others gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their human processes (utilizing a foundation in CBT), so they're able to gain awareness in real time and have the space and opportunity to make alternative decisions. At the same time working with clients to strengthen their life-skills and transfer their new understanding to daily life. With her unique background in creative arts, movement and dance, Genieve is able to offer a specialized approach to help heal emotional and mental challenges with body movement and expressive arts (no client artistic or dance background necessary). Additionally with her healing journey she provides support and guidance for those who are healing from concussions.
Genieve is trained in CBT, DBT, somatic therapy, narrative therapy, wellness counselling and eco therapy. Genieve is trauma and addictions informed, crisis intervention and non-violent communication informed. She is certified in life and wellness coaching, trained in goal setting, leadership and communication, giving her the capability to help others heal and grow - working in the past, present and future using the biopsychosocial model.

I have a few constants that instantly lift me up - drinking a hot cup of coffee, dancing and moving my body, watching comedy, spending time with my family - my two baby animals - Luna and Elouise and my partner Juliette and ALWAYS making time for one of my self-maintenance supports - nature walks, physical movement and a hot sauna sesh!

We are forever learning, growing and changing and we only know as much as we have navigated in our life previously, having someone outside of ourselves to support, is valuable for every human being, including your therapist. Building a secure relationship with your therapist is an incredibly important foundational aspect of the experience. Above all be human when approaching this work because we are indeed working with human beings.

I would love to have dinner with Alok Vaid-Menon because they are a vibrant soul who I would love to learn more from and it would be an honour to witness their powerful energy in close proximity.
