Janelle Downing-Baker
About Janelle
Their own wordsGreetings! My name is Janelle and I have recently obtained licensure as a Canadian Certified Counsellor. Providing a comfortable environment that is free of judgement is immeasurably important to me and I treat all individuals with respect both in and outside of the therapeutic space. It is important to me that I am able to individualize my therapeutic approaches for all diversity of needs.
I am eager to help you grow through a skills-based and client-centred approach. I enjoy bringing mindfulness into my sessions, collaboratively structuring your journey with you. You can often catch me engaging in meditation and breathing exercises so suffice to say, I practice what I preach! I like to take some time getting to know your inner world, then use your knowledge and experience to guide a strengths-based approach to healing and connection through the therapeutic process. Although your past can be insightful, I will use it as a means to guide a present-focused approach. As I progress in my skill set, I am hoping to work towards using somatic practices and to become certified in teaching somatic-informed yoga as a means to mesh the mind-body connection. With this in mind, I am eager to explore diverse topics and gain broad experience so I have a robust toolkit to draw from when informing my counselling sessions.
You might have an inkling that holistic wellness is a passion of mine - and you are right! I believe that it's important to view health as a whole-body concept that incorporates whatever aspects are meaningful to you, whether that be physical health, emotional, spiritual, mental wellness, or a combination of all of those factors. I am also passionate about finding ways to incorporate our natural world into the healing process because fresh air can't help but give you a fresh perspective. Some counselling-specific interests of mine are skill-based and client-centred approaches, somatic therapy (EMDR, Hakomi, somatic experiencing), narrative therapy, and solutions-focused brief therapy.
