Jacqueline Block, BS, MTS, MA (in progress) – Counsellor

Introduction

Life can feel overwhelming — especially when you’re carrying stress, trauma, grief, relational wounds, or insecurities. These experiences can leave you anxious, angry, hurt, hopeless, or unsure of where to begin. You don’t have to navigate any of this alone.

I use Integrative Psychotherapy to help you make sense of what you’re going through and to heal patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating that limit your peace and potential.

My approach is collaborative, respectful, and grounded in empathy. Together, we’ll work toward your counselling goals in a space that supports safety, clarity, and meaningful growth.

If you’re ready to explore change and find support, I’d be glad to meet with you.

What I bring to therapy:

I am a wife and mother of two young adults. As a family we enjoy good conversations, support each other to live out our faith, and like to stay active. I’ve had the privilege of living in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and in the US and Mexico and visited other places across our beautiful world. I feel blessed through the many diverse people, landscapes and vocational opportunities I’ve experienced. My volunteer, education and work demonstrate my wholistic approach to life and on-going desire to nurture different elements of who we are as human beings — physical, social, spiritual, intellectual and emotional.

I am a learner and explorer at heart and I am thankful for the ways throughout my life that I’ve been able to support and empower others in their own healing and growth. I value honest and open dialogue that allows people to truly know and accept themselves and live life more fully within their own unique strengths and limitations.

I approach counselling with both a gentle and tenacious spirit, knowing that while there is so much goodness inside of us, we also each carry wounds and burdens that are at times more than we can bear on our own. We come to counselling because we hope change is possible. I seek to offer a hospitable space for you to discover what might be holding you back from the change you truly desire and a discerning voice that encourages you along the way.

As my children begin to leave home, I am pursuing a MA with a counselling focus out of a desire to know and support people like you. As a practicum student, my hope is to meet you where you are at and provide the support you need as you seek healing, gain new insights and tools to be, live or work with greater freedom, peace, and purpose.

Reading, writing, playing sports, spending time with family and friends, and cultivating my spiritual life all add much goodness to my life. Yet, connecting with people on a heart level and seeing them grow and enjoy life in the midst of all its on-going challenges is what brings me joy.
