Types of Counselling Services
If you are struggling with the effects of trauma, anxiety, attachment wounds, or overwhelming life experiences, you do not have to navigate them alone...
As a trauma therapist, I provide counselling that is tailored to your unique needs and goals...
Every client's journey is different. Depending on your needs, our work together may include a combination of the following approaches:
Learn to ground yourself and embrace living fully in the present moment, even when faced with life’s challenges. Instead of resisting and avoiding difficult thoughts, feelings, and sensations, this approach teaches you how to accept them while focusing on actions that reflect your values and goals. By cultivating mindfulness and making intentional choices, you can create a life that feels more purposeful and aligned with who you want to be.
Our early relationships shape how we view the world and connect with others. Attachment-based therapy helps uncover patterns in how you connect—or struggle to connect—with others and yourself. By addressing these patterns, you can heal relational wounds, build stronger connections, and foster a greater sense of emotional security and self-compassion.
Brainspotting accesses deeper parts of your brain and taps into your parasympathetic nervous system to help release unresolved emotional pain or trauma. By locating specific points in your field of vision connected to intense feelings or memories, you will learn to mindfully develop self-awareness, gain new insights, and make lasting behavioural changes.

Thoughts and beliefs shape your reality. With cognitive behavioral therapy, we challenge those negative beliefs to find balance and change our perspective and behavior. With CBT, you will become aware of your thought patterns, and learn to reframe them to create positive change in your daily life.
EMDR helps you to reprocess stressful or traumatic memories and build new positive neural connections - neuroplasticity for the win! By rebuilding and repatterning our neural connections, EMDR supports healing and recovery by reducing the emotional charge held by difficult memories, allowing you to get “unstuck”, gain new perspectives, and break unhelpful patterns.
Trauma isn’t just stored in the mind - it lives in the body. Think “The Body Keeps the Score”. Somatic therapy helps to foster a connection between mind and body to release stored trauma, tension, and stress. By listening to your body and learning to befriend and regulate its responses, you can develop a greater sense of safety, balance, and connection. This practice involves exploring how movement, and breathwork, can help to calm and regulate your nervous system.
Choosing the counsellor for you
One of the most important things to consider when it comes to choosing a counsellor is your connection and general sense that you can be your true self.
Counselling is meant to be a welcoming and accepting experience for you, especially since we dive into hard feelings and tackle big issues.
Your comfort and peace of mind are a top priority for me. Before we dive into our session, I encourage you to book a 15-minute phone consultation to see if we fit.
If you choose me to be your counsellor, I want you to know that you can come as you are.
Sessions with me will empower you to take the steps you need to heal and grow. I want you to feel comfortable enough to open up, relaxed enough to share, and yourself enough to laugh - should the moment call for it.
My space, whether you see me for online sessions or in-person counselling services, you can trust that I will hold space for you, and embark on your journey of personal transformation.
