Nicole Janot, Master Of Arts in Clinical Psychology (in progress), BCACC Student Member
I am passionate about working with children, youth, and their families, a privilege I’ve had for the past 18 years within the public school system. Over time, I’ve learned that supporting and advocating for the diverse learning and social needs of individuals is just one part of a holistic approach. My desire to understand and work with the various systems that influence our lives has led me to focus on emotional well-being and mental health. Currently, I’m in my second year of a master’s in counselling, with one year of experience as a student school counsellor.
In both my counselling practice and within the school system, my aim is to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard and understood. I believe that working with individuals as well as groups enhances learning and provides richer support through community connections. Using a Person-Centered approach, I focus on amplifying each client’s voice and strengths, which I see as essential elements in any healing or transformative process. With a strong background in trauma-informed practices, I am deeply attuned to the complexities that trauma can bring to everyday life. My experience as a case manager and program provider for diverse learning needs enables me to help families and their children build the skills necessary to navigate the emotions and social challenges of daily life, school, and relationships.
I hold a Fine Arts degree and maintain a personal art practice, alongside teaching art to foster self-expression and a sense of achievement. With a professional background in dance, and enriched by extensive coursework and practice in meditation, I can bring both creativity and mindfulness into my work. My approach helps nurture positive, meaningful experiences for families and children as they navigate challenging situations, promoting self-regulation and emotional well-being.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. I offer services at a student rate and am open to discussing arrangements that suit your financial needs.
