EMDR Therapy
A specialized discipline focused on trauma processing and nervous-system regulation. EMDR sessions help clients move through stuck memories, reduce emotional distress, and reconnect with a sense of safety and control. Work is gentle, paced, and grounded in each person’s readiness.

Trauma-Focused Counselling
A supportive space for clients navigating trauma, chronic stress, or overwhelming life experiences. Sessions focus on stabilization, emotional regulation, and rebuilding trust in oneself. Approaches blend attachment, somatic awareness, narrative work, and practical skills for daily life.

Child & Youth Counselling
A developmentally attuned discipline for children and teens needing emotional support, behavioural guidance, or help processing difficult experiences. Sessions may include play-based approaches, grounding tools, and parent collaboration. The focus is always safety, connection, and age-appropriate strategies.

Adult Individual Counselling
A warm, client-centred discipline for adults seeking support with anxiety, stress, relationships, grief, or major life transitions. Sessions blend insight, grounding skills, and practical coping strategies to help clients feel understood, supported, and more in control of their emotional world.

Parenting Support & Circle of Security
A supportive discipline for parents wanting more confidence, clarity, and connection with their children. Sessions draw on Circle of Security principles to explore emotional needs, strengthen attachment, and build practical strategies for daily parenting. The focus is on steady guidance, warmth, and understanding.

My name is Monique Degroot, and I am a trained counsellor and the founder of Insight & Clarity Counselling. I support individuals through compassionate, thoughtful, and evidence-informed therapy. My work is rooted in respect for each person’s lived experience and a deep belief in the mind and body’s natural capacity to heal.

I completed my counselling training at Orca Institute and have continued my professional development through EMDR Consulting and Circle of Security International. I value all therapeutic modalities, as each offers meaningful insight and benefit depending on the person and the moment. That said, EMDR is my true passion. I am continually moved by its ability to support deep, lasting healing, especially for individuals carrying the impact of trauma or overwhelming life experiences.

My approach is collaborative, client-centred, and paced with care. I integrate EMDR with attachment-informed and narrative perspectives, always guided by what feels safe and appropriate for the individual in front of me. I see therapy as a shared process grounded in trust, curiosity, and gentle understanding.

I believe healing is not about fixing what is broken, but about making sense of what has been endured and reconnecting with one’s inner strength. I am committed to ongoing learning, ethical practice, and offering a space where clients feel seen, respected, and supported in their healing journey.
