Holistic Wellness Excursions

Self-Discovery Quests offer Holistic Wellness Excursions into Nature, working with someone who can ‘See You’ almost as intimately as Mother Nature does. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor & Nature Connection Mentor, John Fraser integrates such things as mindfulness exercises, shamanistic wisdom, energy healing, & traditional psychotherapy to help you access the wisdom of your own Psyche. Self-Discovery Quests are custom designed to match your level of physical fitness and desired level of challenge. Not to worry if you are not an avid or skilled hiker. Difficulty level of trails and hiking distance can be modified to accommodate your needs. As the old saying goes, “It’s not about the destination. It’s about the journey.” (Ralf Waldo Emerson). All Elemental Magick Holistic Adventures will proceed, rain or shine. If the weather is deemed to be unsafe, every effort will be made to rebook your quest for another time.

John is a member in good standing with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors and, as such, is governed by a professional Code of Ethical Conduct and Standards of Clinical Practice. When you embark on a Self-Discovery Quest you will be working with a trained mental health professional and your confidentiality is guaranteed (Except where reporting is required by law) Click here for More Information

Like many legal duties, however, the duty of confidentiality is not absolute. There are at least three exceptions where other duties or authorities are more important and may override the duty of confidentiality. Three distinct legal duties or authorities to report or warn exist and – depending on the circumstances – any one of them could take priority over a counsellor’s general duty to keep client disclosures confidential. In fact, these duties to report or warn could be activated as a direct result of what the client tells the counsellor during a clinical session. The three legal provisions to report or warn are recognized exceptions to the counsellor’s duty of confidentiality are: • A duty to report to the authorities if the counsellor has reason to believe that a child under 19 years of age has been, or is likely to be, physically harmed, sexually abused or sexually exploited, or is otherwise in need of protection; • A duty to report to the authorities or warn a third party if the counsellor believes that that third party is facing an imminent risk of serious harm; • An authorization to report to the authorities if the counsellor has information indicating that a vulnerable adult has been abused or neglected, and that vulnerable adult is unable to seek support and assistance.
