Hey there! I'm Virginia Purcell, a certified counsellor and executive coach proud to be serving the amazing people of Fernie. I have a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology, years of counselling and corporate executive coaching experience and lots of helpful tools to share with you.
I commute into Fernie but do not live in Fernie which provides social space for us to create a primary counselling relationship without the risk of any secondary pressures.
As your counsellor, I am absolutely on your side and have the role of guide, supporter and provider of important feedback others may never share with you. We will work in partnership to ensure you set goals that are meaningful to you, and accountability to help you meet them.
I think you're going to love the experience of counselling in Fernie! (or our other nearby beautiful locations 🙂
Some people may worry if maybe they are "too privileged" to seek counselling or feel guilty that they "should" not need or deserve compassionate non-judgmental support.
All of us in this beautiful mountain playground have a privileged special life.
Yet we are not protected from grief, sadness, tragedy, anxiety, stress, trauma, feeling lonely or lost.
You have a wonderful life.
But if you are like many women and men today, you find yourself feeling continuously on edge, isolated and stressed.
You power through your list of projects and tasks and rarely have time to relax, restore and experience joy.
You are wondering about trying counselling in Fernie, Elk Valley or South Country
On the outside, things seem fine.
But inside you feel isolated, overwhelmed, angry, anxious and sad.
And importantly, your life no longer has as much balance, meaning, or fulfillment.
Shouldn't you feel happier?
You've considered counselling and coaching but you don't want to trust your mind to just anyone.
Afterall, you've achieved a lot.
But there's also so much to do, lots of pressure, and it's all on your shoulders.
If you could stop to reflect for even a moment you might even find you are close to being miserable.
There's another way.....
this type of counselling is different.
You might feel that counselling is "for everyone else". People who are extremely troubled or very broken.
You wonder if counselling or coaching even makes sense for you.
Afterall, your life could be much worse. Maybe you don't "deserve" counselling.
I get that. I've felt the same.
I've also helped many hundreds of clients successfully transform their lives to find more balance, peace and happiness.
We use important frameworks that help change your mindset, manage your emotions, and pursue your dreams in a healthier way, build stronger relationships and let go of unnecessary worry and self criticism.
My life is not perfect and neither are my clients. We are all a work in progress and have challenges, good days and bad days.
What makes the difference is the tools, the framework, the ability you can learn through counselling and coaching to see new possibilities, gain more confidence, and leverage emotions instead of pushing them away.
This type of counselling is different.
We use a variety of high-end coaching tools and processes to transform your thinking and expand your perspective and emotional intelligence.
I have a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology, many years of counselling and corporate coaching experience, and am certified in several professional coaching instruments that provide insights into your psyche.
My compassion, empathy and discretion provide the perfect sounding board for your inner reflections. And our meetings provide that much needed accountability to set your plans in place.
I can help you find more balance in your life, create more satisfying relationships, and feel happier - at work and at home.
