Tait MacFarlane is a clinical counsellor in private practice who lives and works on the unceded territory of the Tsawout First Nation, in Saanichton, B.C. She works with people of all ages, including children and youth, families, and couples.
Tait started exploring Somatic Experiencing with a therapist twenty years ago, which led to earning her SEP in 2011 and assisting at many SE trainings in B.C. and the U.S. since then.
Tait has completed Peter Levine’s Master Class in treating depression and aggression and numerous touch trainings with Kathy Kain and Steve Terrell. She incorporates somatic touch in her practice and has extensive experience working with people who have experienced relational and developmental trauma, shock trauma, and grief and loss.
Tait brings presence and curiosity to her work. She recently completed a mindfulness teacher training program with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach. She uses diverse approaches when counselling, including mindfulness, visualization, play and expressive therapies, family systems, and narrative therapy.
Tait loves nature, hiking in the woods, walking on beaches, swimming, skiing, dancing, yoga, mindfulness practice, being with friends and family, and doing less, not more.
