Introductions

Thank you for taking time to read about what I can offer you. My name is Holly Turnbull, and I am the face behind Holsom Wellness. I offer trauma-informed, non-judgmental counselling to Albertans as a Registered Provisional Psychologist. I have completed the 240-hour Compassionate Inquiry Professional Training Program with Dr. Gabor Maté and Sat Dharam Kaur, and am currently in the Mentorship Program.

I was born and raised in rural Manitoba, and moved to Alberta in 2010. My background combines experience supporting individuals living with complex diagnoses; combat arms within the Canadian Forces with domestic deployment experiences; and I am also a Canadian Registered Safety Professional and a Psychological Health and Safety Advisor with intimate knowledge of labour legislation.  I have experience working with Kids Help Phone, Veteran Transition Network, and Sanare Centre (supporting individuals who experienced sexual assault or trauma). These experiences have cultivated a client-centered, systems-based, and biopsychosocial approach to wellness.

My formal education includes a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, Bachelor of Science in Zoology, and a Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety from the University of Alberta. I have been published in the Journal of Experimental Biology (Rombough & Drader, 2009), am a passionate life-long learner, and am dedicated to bringing effective and evidence-based modalities to my work.

If you feel like I may be helpful for the season of life that you’re in right now, give us a call at 403-847-0505 or send an email to connect@holsom.ca . Sessions available in person or virtually and direct billing is available for some insurance providers including Blue Cross, Medavie (RCMP, Veterans Affairs) and those covered under Alberta School Employment Benefit Plan.
