A Note From Our Founder
Throughout my early career, I regularly saw a therapist to support me in managing problems that cropped up because of work. We worked on building confidence, navigating relationships, managing anxiety, and setting boundaries.
Later on, my work with my therapist also included support through significant grief, fertility challenges, and burnout. My therapist was wonderful, and her expertise and guidance really shone in moments of the larger moments of grief and crisis.
As I progressed in my development as a leader in my professional career, I began working with an executive coach. She supported me in my role as a company leader, helped me understand my strengths, develop team-winning strategies, and was again, wonderful.
THE COACHING CONTAINER WAS MEANT TO SUPPORT MY PROFESSIONAL ROLE, ALTHOUGH I FOUND MYSELF WANTING TO “UNPACK” MORE.
There were deeper beliefs that were surfacing and it felt like they were holding me back. But they were, in all fairness, beyond her scope of practice to help me process.
At the same time, I wished for a therapy environment that might be entrenched in my experience as a working professional. I sensed from working with my executive coach and therapist that a strong and trusting counselling relationship, within the context and nuance of my problems, could help me reach my next level of transformation.
I began to wonder, what if there was support out there that could bridge this gap?
THAT’S WHEN THE CONCEPT OF
WORKSHOP WAS BORN.
Since then, my roles have expanded to include being a Mother, which among being one of the most enriching experiences of my life, has also been a disorienting one.
From struggling to conceive our first child, to growing and raising a baby, to then returning back to “work”, I have at times felt disoriented, challenged, exhausted, and lost. Working with perinatal therapists has been a beautiful gift to me for navigating this stage of life, well.
These are the goals of Workshop.
Here, we connect women with helpers who can focus on integrating their personal and professional selves. Our team is passionate about leadership development, specialized in perinatal mental health and fertility counselling, and want to help you achieve your goals for wellbeing within the context of a sacred, professional therapeutic relationship.
I’m so glad you found us and I hope you find exactly what you’re looking for here.
