COUNSELLING SERVICES IN BEAUMONT, EDMONTON AND AREA

Welcome to Tacit Knowledge! We are here to help. Life can be hard sometimes and we all find ourselves needing a little support in those difficult moments. Reaching out is often the hardest part of the process. Whether it’s talking to friends or telling a professional about the challenges you are facing, you are moving in the right direction. Counselling can help! Our workplaces need a little support too – staff want to learn more about different Mental Health issues, so they can feel more capable and effective. Professional Development Training keeps everyone feeling refreshed and refocused. Tacit Knowledge offers a variety of traditional and holistic counselling supports and professional development training services for adults and youth. We provide an empathetic and confidential atmosphere in our counselling office, as we assist individuals, couples and family’s in addressing some of the more emotionally difficult issues in their lives. We also provide Professional Development Training to various agencies and organizations, helping staff enhance the skills they use in their own workplaces on a daily basis. And we provide excellent community based programming/courses for those in the general public who may not yet be able to access the training we offer through their places of employment. Tacit works with you as an individual - as part of your family - with your bigger work team. We get to know you by first understanding the challenges you are facing from your perspective – and we help you come from a place of confidence and strength as you overcome those challenges in a successful and healthy way. |

Counselling is a unique process that is different for every person. Tacit ensures that the therapeutic supports offered to you are genuine, empowering, and relative to your own personality, needs and strengths. We honour you for how far you have already come in your journey, and we feel privileged that you will allow us to join you as you continue to move forward through your counselling process.
Professional Development Training is also a unique experience for every team. Tacit strives to bring the perfect combination of education, skill development and humour to every session provided. We are proud of the multiple training requests that we get from organizations, time and time again.
Tacit Knowledge is based in Beaumont, but regularly provides services to people and agencies in the Edmonton, Leduc, Sherwood Park and surrounding areas as well. Upon request, Tacit is happy to also travel to locations further away (both in and out of province) for staff training purposes.
Our highly qualified and experienced therapist provides individual, couples and family counselling supports as well as psycho-educational group programming, addressing mental health issues on a personal level. Counselling is a supportive, helping process which assists people of all ages and backgrounds as they address, in a safe and confidential environment, the various problems or issues that present challenges in their lives. Counselling focuses on the emotional and intellectual experiences of a person – this support helps a person navigate their feelings and thoughts about a specific situation that has developed. It is this process that allows a person to develop a strong and capable sense of mental wellbeing.

How Does the Counselling Process Work?
Tacit Knowledge embraces a number of counselling modalities in the therapeutic services that are offered. Our therapist most often incorporates a combination of the following types of counselling approaches with clients: CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), Narrative Therapy, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), Solution Focused Therapy, Grief Therapy, Trauma Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Anger Management Strategies, Gottman Marriage Techniques, SOS (Signs of Safety) Strategies and Strength Based Therapy.
Therapeutic supports offered by Tacit Knowledge are available in person, by telephone and via online sessions (encrypted through Zoom).
There is no pre-determined number of sessions that works best for every client embarking on their therapeutic journey – some people find comfort and increased self-awareness after just a few sessions, while others prefer to participate in a counselling process that lasts a few months.
Most clients begin the counselling process by attending the first few sessions on a weekly basis – there is usually a lot that needs to be shared by the client when they first begin, and these initial sessions allow the therapist and the client to truly get to know one another. But as the weeks pass, it is common for sessions to lessen in frequency. Clients may participate in counselling every few weeks instead - this allows a client the opportunity to apply the learning they are gaining through their counselling in their real life, every day circumstances. After a client steps finishes their counselling process, he/she might also find it beneficial to touchbase with the therapist again months later, with a session or two designed as a refresher/update support.
The client will be the one who determines how long their therapeutic journey will last – this will depend on the goals the client wishes to achieve. The client has the right to end their counselling process at any time. It is most beneficial if the therapist knows when the client feels ready to end process so there can be an appropriate closing session completed, to help the client summarize everything that has been achieved.

A successful counselling process requires an investment of both time and emotional commitment by you, the client. Regular attendance at the counselling sessions are most effective in allowing you to work on the goals that you have identified. Counselling provides you with an increased understanding and awareness of self - the benefits of the supports are directly reflective of your willingness to take some emotional risks and of your desire to take action to change things in your life. The counselling process is a transformative process and can take some time to be effective. Although there are often supportive coping strategies that can help you feel better after just one session, the long term changes that counselling is designed for is a journey that takes time. Counselling can also sometimes be painful - it is important that you discuss your emotional journey with the therapist, and to ensure you have appropriate supports available for your needs outside of the counselling session as well.
