Who's Dafne Blanco Sarlay?
Registered Clinical Counsellor :: Somatic Experiencing© Practitioner
Master in Expressive Arts Therapy with a Minor in Psychology (Honours)
Member of of BC Association of Clinical Counsellors
I have over eight years of experience counselling individuals and families to gain insights and learn strategic tools to reduce anxiety and trauma, integrate difficult experiences leading to self-fulfillment and healthier relationships. I hold specialized training in Somatic Experiencing© for Trauma Resolution and Attachment Theory.
As a counsellor and facilitator, I have had the privilege of working with groups and individuals experiencing the interconnections of gender, ethnicity, violence, trauma and mental health. Among others, I have worked with Indigenous communities in Canada and Mexico and immigrant women survivors of complex trauma, as well as with refugee survivors of torture. Throughout my professional career, I have also provided direct support, outreach and advocacy services to diverse communities such as migrant workers, refugee families and youth, among others in one-on-one, families and group facilitation.
