DEPTH-ORIENTED ONLINE COUNSELLING

Support for the patterns, transitions, and questions shaping your life

You do not need to have everything figured out before beginning. Counselling can start with the experience, relationship, or question that feels most alive for you.

Recurring emotional patterns

Explore anxiety, self-criticism, shame, overwhelm, numbness, or reactions that seem to return despite your efforts to change them.

Relationships and identity

Understand patterns of closeness, conflict, boundaries, belonging, self-worth, and the roles you have learned to carry.

Transitions and meaning

Make space for grief, uncertainty, burnout, creativity, spiritual questions, or a sense that an old way of living no longer fits.

LOOKING BENEATH THE SURFACE

Depth-oriented psychotherapy makes room for the whole of your experience

Current difficulties often have roots in earlier experiences, relationships, protective strategies, and less conscious patterns. Depth-oriented counselling offers time to understand these layers while staying connected to what is happening in your life now.

Begin with what is present

We start with the feelings, relationships, questions, or circumstances that are affecting you now.

Notice deeper patterns

Together, we can explore recurring themes, emotional responses, dreams, body signals, and ways of relating that may operate outside awareness.

Create meaningful change

Insight is connected with choices, boundaries, relationships, and new ways of responding in everyday life.

YOUR DEPTH-ORIENTED COUNSELLOR

Priscila Coleff, MA, RCC, FOT

Priscila offers trauma-informed, depth-oriented psychotherapy for adults across Canada. Her collaborative approach welcomes emotion, dreams, imagery, body awareness, relationship patterns, life history, creativity, and questions of meaning while respecting each person’s pace and autonomy.

Depth-oriented does not mean endlessly analysing the past

The past may be explored when it helps illuminate what you feel, expect, or repeat in the present. The purpose is not to assign blame or search for a single hidden cause.

Sessions remain connected to your current relationships, choices, body, needs, and circumstances. You decide what feels important to explore, and insight is approached as a support for living rather than an end in itself.

Questions about depth-oriented psychotherapy

Depth-oriented psychotherapy explores current concerns together with the deeper emotional, relational, and less conscious patterns that may shape them. Sessions can include feelings, memories, dreams, imagery, body awareness, relationships, and questions of meaning.

Practical support and present-day change can still be part of the work. Depth-oriented counselling also makes room to understand why a difficulty may keep returning and what it expresses about your history, needs, relationships, or inner life.

No. Earlier experiences may be explored when they help make sense of the present, but sessions remain connected to your current emotions, relationships, circumstances, and goals.

No. You can begin with a recurring feeling, relationship pattern, transition, question, or sense that something in your life needs attention. Goals can become clearer as the work develops.

There is no predetermined length. Some people seek support around a particular transition, while others value longer-term exploration. Frequency and duration can be discussed collaboratively and revisited over time.

No. Gaia provides online counselling to clients across Canada. However, insurance reimbursement for sessions is generally available only to residents of British Columbia. Always check directly with your insurance provider to confirm your eligibility and coverage before booking.
