Greetings! My name is Finn-Lily, and I combine game design and therapy to help people craft the lives they want


I offer 1on1 counselling and therapeutic TTRPG (D&D) and LARP groups.

When I’m not doing that I’m developing therapeutic video games, absorbing new knowledge or being a big queer goth.

I occasionally paint bricks and gender anarchy patches


My practice is now open and I’m accepting new clients!

It's time to ask yourself the big questions in life:
Who are you, and what do you want?

Values & Frameworks

Agency

Your life is yours, you get to be the designer of it.

We combine Person Centered Therapy, Game Design, and Standford's Life Design to help you build your life, on your terms.

We work with your passions, values, beliefs and cultures as sources of strength and empowerment.

Identity

Being grounded in who you are can help you weather the storms of life.

We use Existential Therapy and Geek Therapy to help you discover and define your personal values and identity.

We also offer therapeutic D&D and LARP groups to support self exploration and empowerment.

These things helped us to develop our own gender identities and navigate trauma recovery.

Empowerment

You're not alone, and you're stronger than you think.

We use Internal Family Systems (IFS) / "Parts Work" to honour and work with your inner-selves, following your system's unique way of doing things.

As a system, we know that IFS is not the same as Dissociative Disorders or Multiplicity. We take some of the tools from it, but hold in mind that alters are not 'parts' as understood in the IFS framework.

We also do not see 'final fusion' as a required end goal and instead offer support to develop internal system community.

Safety & Consent

We use Trauma Informed and Transformative Justice rooted practises to create a safe(r), accepting, and nonjudgemental space, one where saying the 'wrong' thing won't result in involuntary 'care'

As an alternative we use Pod Mapping to ensure you have support in a crisis situation.

For urgent non-carceral support see the resources below:

Things we Know

All of our knowledge and training is taken through our lens of multiplicity and decolonization. The latest ‘trauma research’, while offering some useful tools, can still miss the mark by ignoring or pathologizing lived experience. While we may offer some concepts from these trainings, we collaboratively adapt them with you and honour what you bring to our work together.

A ‘therapist’ or systematic framework should not pretend to know what’s ‘best’ for you. You are more what any therapy framework or diagnosis may try to label you as.

It’s your life, we work with you towards your goals, honouring your lived experiences, strengths, and ways of navigating the world.

Informed consent is sacred and non-negotiable.

Why is Therapy So Expensive???

I know. It sucks. It’s wrong. We all deserve better. But here we are trying to survive. 

I set my rates as low as I can to increase accessibility, but I know this still isn’t something most people can afford. The state of mental health support is kind of awful and it burns the soul.

The frustrating thing is running a therapy practice is expensive itself :/  There’s a lot of invisible costs and labour that go into doing this stuff well. And I want to do the best work I can for you, you deserve that.

Besides our time in session together, I do a lot of behind the scenes work: researching and learning new therapy tools, checking in with my supervisor to make sure you’re getting the best support possible, wrangling paperwork, etc. Plus there’s a lot of expenses like supervision, additional training, insurance, therapy platforms like Jane, etc. It all adds up fast.

I also have to limit my capacity to make sure I can keep going and don’t burn out.

This is part of the reason I also make therapeutic games.
Kind Words is a lot cheaper than a year of therapy. (Not my game, but one I highly recommend)
When I’m not doing therapy stuff, I’m making games to make therapy stuff easier to access.

I also try to empower people by sharing as much knowledge and resources as I can, and the most useful thing I can give you is this:

Your social support network is one of the single most effective things for well being. This is why I put a lot of effort into group therapy and events that help people create supportive community.

Having just one person you trust and can be completely real with can be a game changer. They need to be able to be there and listen with their heart, not to give advice. Find someone you can be messy with. People want to help, they just don’t always know how. You can learn how to support each other together.

You’re not alone, you’ll find your people. We’re in this together.
Keep an eye out for group events that connect you with community. I’ll try to host as many as I can.
