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 at my counselling practice: Space to Exist

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

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:

Individual Support

Accessible – $90

Sustainable – $120

Regenerative – $150 – this helps fund free game therapy sessions and direct aid to trans, gnc and queer folks

All sessions take place over a secure online platform

While in session, please try to be in a private safe(r) space where you can speak freely. We greatly welcome animal friends (stuffed or otherwise), fidgets, music, etc. You’re welcome to have your screen off, use the text chat in session, share memes, etc. We can even hang out in an online game like Webfishing

Whatever helps you show up in whatever ways you need.

Game Group Therapy

Rates subject to change as we work to find a healthy balance between affordability and sustainability.

3-hour weekly sessions | 4 weeks | 3-5 players per group | $310 per player | online only

One-Shot Sessions

A single 3 hour game session | 2-5 players | $110 per player

Note: These tend to be rules light and quick to play. Here’s some examples

 

LARPs – Live Action Roleplaying

3-5 hours | 5-10 players | $50 per player | in person, venue tbd

*Final cost and details will vary based on event requirements (venue rental etc)

 

Play Testing

We are continually developing and evolving our therapeutic games and always looking for players to test things out and give us feedback. This can include short campaigns, one-shots and LARPs.

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.
