Our Team
Our team is comprised of established and emerging narrative practitioners within the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, offering support remotely across so-called ‘canada’. If this sounds like what you might be looking for, please check services offered (and region), and book a free intro call with one or more of our practitioners.
Not sure where to start? Contact us and we’ll be happy to help.
Under Groundfire, we practice from a narrative ethic focused on by-and-for community services, including:
Individual and Relationship Counselling for 2SLGBTQIA+ community members, kin/chosen family, and people who feel more comfortable in spaces prioritizing diverse 2SLGBTQIA+ experiences.
Supervision and Consultation for practitioners and people supporting people.
Events and Training for practitioners, community members, and those who are both.
