Jodi Bergman
I work as a counsellor, parent and learning consultant, with individuals, families, adolescents, and school districts. My relational practice started as a parent of 7 children consciously integrating our family based on the threads of connection, somatic understanding, and attachment.
I am currently employed with SelfDesign Learning Community which is among the largest distance/distributed learning schools and personalized learning programs in British Columbia, Canada. Self Design enables learners to complete K-12 by exploring their interests and taking the lead in their own learning and life. With personalized guidance and ongoing support, learning unfolds at home and within local and online communities. In accordance with Self Design’s approach to learning, I facilitate the safety, acceptance, and inclusion of all learners in regard to ability, learning style, culture, gender identity and expression.
I offer in-person and online counselling supporting families and individuals across the lifespan. Together, we will examine the context in which you live your life and the intersecting elements that influence your experiences.
I call upon Dr. Gordon Neufeld’s development model where attachment is the foundation of the emotional, physical, and social growth of the individual. My practice orients towards feminist, client-centered, strength-based, and relational-somatic approaches.
I look forward to walking beside you as you explore your being and look towards your becoming.
“Jodi has been quietly learning the work of Gordon Neufeld and integrating it into her family dynamics with her partner and their 7 children. Yes! Seven children!! Jodi is pure light and her compassion shines through as she lovingly supports families to connect and build attachments. Jodi is dedicated to bringing joy into family life and elevating the spirit of our children. Her work is a blessing.”
