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.
