Ecologies of Care + the ApNp Program
Supporting Community & Better Learning Outcomes in 2023.
Similar to other professions, counsellors in training greatly benefit from a more intensive model of care and mentorship where they feel supported, extended, and nourished. Providing this opportunity to a student is another way that I can extend my support and gratitude to community.
I also acknowledge my professional peers and teachers who support, challenge, and encourage me. They work with me so I can in turn work with clients, couples, groups, supervisees, and students.
This program aligns three core values that have been central to my development and wellbeing: life-long learning, community, and belonging.
By jumping in and supporting our Intern, you get to work with a wonderful early-career counsellor as they really start to find their strides as a therapist.

Many of you will already know that my therapeutic caseload has been at capacity for some time.
Every client I work with is an important part of my day. It’s really that simple.
I also receive many calls and emails seeking support. How do I meet this distress, made up of many disconnected psychosocial parts?
The All people Need people (ApNp) Program is one part of a cluster of ideas that attempts to reimagine service delivery via a small network of independent counselling and psychotherapy practices.
The Ecologies of Care strategy frames a new philosophical approach to small enterprise. It pivots around the central idea that small business is super-dynamic.
‘Ecology’ is the interconnectedness of organisms and their relationships, be they macro or micro, known or unknown to each other. How we care for each other and receive care is an ecology. This interdependent network of intentional people are a system.
As we grow, we build an “ecology of care” around us, without which our life can feel baron and disconnected.

People are social in nature, and we seek to connect and belong. ApNp says something about our great forgetting. I like to imagine that my practice is the heart of my care ecology.
This underpinning allows me to work with intention and confidence as I settle down and do the work of little business; one client, one couple, one supervisee at a time.
