ABOUT GERALDINE BROOKS

As a coach, I’m guided by a simple but deep conviction formed by many years of personal and professional exploration: that each of us has an inner life worth paying close attention to.

From childhood I have been attracted to reading fairy tales, myths, and legends. I followed that early immersion in symbolic stories with undergraduate studies in art history and literature, and then graduate studies in counselling psychology. My current work as a coach, which is based on the value of reflective dialogue with clients, draws on the psychological knowledge and insight I have gained over many years, and also integrates depth-oriented perspectives informed by mythology, metaphysics, literature, lived experience, and the enduring human search for meaning and beauty across cultures.

I hold a Doctoral Degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of British Columbia and have pursued advanced training in Jungian and Transpersonal Psychology including a Certificate in Transpersonal Studies from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology. I am also a Certified Practitioner of EDxTM (Energy Diagnostics and Treatment Methods).

I practised as a Registered Psychologist in British Columbia for 30 years, retiring in 2026. During that time, I was a faculty member at UBC and Vancouver Community College, worked as a Human Resources Consultant supporting corporate clients with recruitment and professional development, and developed and presented various workshops on personal growth and well-being. I have a special interest in working with individuals who are intellectually gifted and artistically talented
