Culture at Alive Counselling:
As a former athlete and coach, team culture is foundational. That is why I wanted to share a glimpse of not just our clinical approach but our cultural approach at Alive Counselling. We value a culture that values collaboration, continuous learning, and support that is essential for both personal and professional growth. Being part of a collaborative team allows therapists to share insights, learn from each other’s experiences, and develop new approaches to therapy. This not only benefits the therapists themselves but ultimately leads to better serve our clients.

Providing ongoing support, including administrative assistance for tasks like invoicing and billing, allows therapists to focus more of their time and energy on serving their clients
effectively. We recognize the importance of this support and have systems in place to streamline these processes for you from our experienced team.

Monthly group meeting are an excellent opportunity for team members to come together, discuss cases and learnings, share challenges and celebrations, and reinforce a sense of community with the practice. These meetings can also serve as a forum for continuing education, where team members can learn about new therapeutic techniques or emerging research in the field.

Overall, our commitment to creating a supportive and growth-oriented environment demonstrates a genuine dedication to both our team members and the clients we serve. We
prioritize making a meaningful impact in the lives of others.
