Counselling & Coaching in Vernon BC
Brent Enridge, MSW, RSW
I am a Registered Social Worker who practices clinical counselling in Vernon, BC. I'm focused on being a compassionate individual and am committed to creating a safe space where people can explore their experiences. By combining evidence-based therapies, motivational tactics and intuition, we can approach your mental health in a dynamic way.
Valhalla has taken on several meanings (depending on which super-hero you ask), but for me and my Nordic roots, it is a symbolic place of mental and emotional well being that is a result of processing our experiences and resolving fears - a reward for a life well-lived. With guidance and encouragement, we can heal our fears and traumas, allowing ourselves the opportunity to experience peace of mind, reconciliation and joy.
​
Mountains are also used in mindfulness to represent stability, quietude and the state of being unmoved by turmoil and external circumstances.
Is counselling right for me?
Counselling at Valhalla is a regulated health profession in British Columbia, executed by a Registered Social Worker (MSW). Counselling is the use of psychology, talk therapy, somatic work, CBT and EMDR to help process memories and events and help to shift mind set. Counselling is a healthcare option that helps alleviate stress, over thinking, trauma, anxiety and even chronic pain conditions. Something doesn't have to be "wrong" to seek out counselling. It can be used to explore ideas, help propel you forward in life and reach goals that may feel out of reach. It's a great modality for true self care and wellness.
