Her work is characterized by thoroughness, attention to detail & sensitive antennae for potential ethical dilemmas. She demonstrates respect, impartiality & positive regard in her sessions. She is able to hold multiple layers of complexity simultaneously. I have been impressed with the extent of Soleil’s skills, her willingness to try new approaches, her process & use of self. Pam (Supervisor)

‘I wanted to sincerely thank you for your time and kindness to me throughout our sessions together. You have provided me with immense professional and personal insight into myself and I have honestly felt very comfortable to discuss many issues for the first time in a number of years and you will be very missed from our team. You are spot on. You really understand people’ –Kathy

‘Thankyou for being my supervisor. Have learnt a lot and appreciated you challenging me suggesting resources and being there for me when times were tough. Felt safe in your hands and respect your depth of knowledge and ability to help me self monitor my practice. I am glad we had this opportunity’ Melita.

In supervision, Soleil asked me if we were able to realise some symbols work. I am visual person, so this experience of using symbols (cards with drawing and/or sandtray symbols) allow me to generate a better insight about myself as a professional and human being. The relationship supervisor/supervisee was not feeling as a superior/subordinate, it was a real human process that allow the work in the here-and now and an open space to explore my self in a multidimensional roles: counsellor, child consultant and person. Martha

Thank you so much for your guidance, support, wisdom over the short few months that we have had together. I have learnt a lot from you, including clinical practice, safety lens/management, adapting a more holistic view, to a certain extent even soul searching, counselling tools, workplace communications and even life in general. I really appreciate that you have helped in broadening my knowledge and practice. I do not know how you manage to do all that within your role, but you did and did it brilliantly. The most memorable for me were the case discussions, exploring all the different things that we can do to help the client. The way you actively listen, even when I was on a ranting rampage at times; and bringing me all the light bulb moments getting me to see another perspective. I really appreciate everything that you did for me. Lee

Soleil has a wealth of wisdom and experience to share. She has an holistic approach to well-being and incorporates powerful alternative approaches. She's very warm and provides solid support.
