EMDR Basic Training
Shivani Wells-Shaw Clinical Counselling
Shivani is the Clinical Director and a Registered Clinical Counsellor at Shivani Wells-Shaw Clinical Counselling in Downtown Vancouver. Shivani is honoured to work with clients, to support a team of skilled therapists, and to supervise graduate students during their clinical practicums. Shivani is also a Certified EMDR Therapist, meaning she is recognized as an experienced EMDR clinician with advanced training, she has obtained over 20 hours of supervision from approved consultants, and her professional practice comes highly recommended by her peers and colleagues.
Shivani’s work with clients focuses on treating symptoms related to trauma, attachment wounds, and dissociation. She has a passion for helping her clients understand the root causes of their current struggles, foster a sense of internal harmony, put the past in the past, and move forward with greater resilience and empowerment.
Shivani’s approach combines EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and inner child/parts work informed by Dolores Mosquera’s and Janina Fischer’s work, the Theory of Structural Dissociation, Ego-State Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. She has advanced training in EMDR to support clients with dissociative disorders, complex trauma, depression, and chronic pain. Shivani is a new mother and has a growing interest in supporting women who have crossed the threshold into parenthood and postpartum.
Prior to becoming a Clinical Counsellor, Shivani was a yoga and meditation teacher and was in private practice as a trauma-informed yoga therapist for 11 years. Her experience with meditation, mindfulness, and movement continues to inform her work.
Shivani aims to create a welcoming space at her clinic for clients from all walks of life. She is honoured to walk alongside her clients, hold their stories, and witness their growth and healing.
