Leanne Longeway & Solstice Moon Counselling & Art Therapy

Greetings! 
​     Thank you for visiting Solstice Moon Counselling and Art Therapy's website! My name is Leanne Longeway and I am both a Counsellor and an Art Therapist who offers in person sessions in Campbell River, BC as well as online sessions for clients throughout the Province of British Columbia. I am both grateful and honoured to be able to do this work and am very much interested in supporting you along your journey of healing, self-care and self-discovery.
     Caring for yourself is vitally important work that enables you to create a life that you envision having. This is emotional work and I understand how vulnerable and at the same time empowering it can feel to seek out counselling.
     I would like to offer you encouragement and recognition towards the fact that you have actively begun the process of moving forward towards your personal goals of change! The process of beginning to listen to your inner self is a journey of discovery that can be at times emotionally charged, confusing and yet also a time that is rewarding, validating and for many the beginning towards building inner peace. 
     I walk alongside individuals in a supportive, collaborative role along the path of change and transformation. In our sessions together I will offer you attentive listening, genuine regard and my whole-hearted way of being, with a trauma-informed, culturally-safe, socially-just therapeutic space and presence.
     I currently offer Counselling and Art Therapy services to adults of all ages (18 years and older). My goal is to help individuals (such as yourself) reconnect with inner strengths, support emotional clarity, build strategies for self-regulation, as well as identify and connect to healthy coping mechanisms and to ultimately regain control of their life.
     I hope to support you along your journey of healing and finding peace within.
~All the best in your journey of wellness, Leanne.
