Liane Wood

Prior to making a career change to psychotherapy, Liane worked for over 25 years as a registered insurance broker, culminating in owning and operating her own insurance brokerage. She sold her business in 2016 with the intention of pursuing studies in psychology.

Liane is a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) who has combined her education in the mental health field with her own personal experiences. To pursue her passion for helping others, and after many years volunteering as a peer counsellor, Liane went back to school to study psychotherapy at a master’s level in Toronto, attending the Transformational Arts College of Spiritual and Holistic Training. She graduated from the Spiritual Psychotherapy program, which combines spirituality with psychotherapy in an innovative approach that addresses the needs of the soul and spirit, as well as the human experience.

Liane is also a Certified Havening Techniques Practitioner. The Havening Techniques®, which utilize current neuroscience, can help with many issues, including distressing memories, trauma, fear and pain. Havening is a psycho-sensory technique that uses the sensory input of touch, imagination and attention to create lasting change.

With the help of her service dog, Harley, Liane works at not only improving herself, but also at helping others who are searching for a path to mental vitality.

Liane is excited to be working with the RP community as a Member-at-Large on the board of the OSRP.
