Billy works with children, youth, adults and families of all ages. In his work he aims to create a safe and supportive space to build a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients can explore their feelings, emotions and issues that are important to them. Using trauma-informed and anti-oppressive approaches, and a holistic, strengths based, bio-psycho-social-spiritual framework, clients are able to explore the whole of who they are, where they come from and how different struggles impact various parts their life. Billy helps clients to discover strengths they can use to overcome challenges they face.
Billy’s training in Focusing Oriented Therapy and Trauma Informed Practice (FOT) has given him a skill set to work with clients who have been significantly impacted by trauma, both historical and intergenerational, as well, those who suffer with symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.
FOT is a body-centered and person-centered approach to healing. FOT is particularly effective in the treatment and healing of complex trauma caused by accident, sexual, physical, emotional abuse and neglect. The process allows clients to control the pace and direction of their healing.
