My name is Kathryn and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC). I am passionate about walking alongside other’s as they experience growth and healing in their lives. I believe strongly in the resilience of humans and the courage that it takes to step into the counselling room. I see counselling as space for anyone and everyone, whether you have a current life situation you want to process and work through or you’re unsure where to start but want a safe, supportive environment to work through life’s inevitable challenges.

I view growth and change as something that is fostered through validation, understanding and compassion. My approach is person-centered, humanistic and attachment-focussed. Your safety in the counselling room is a top priority to me as we uncover and explore your life. My hope is that you will leave the counselling room feeling heard, seen and understood and that through our therapeutic relationship, you might feel safe to grow and heal. Ultimately, my goal is to help you begin to experience a sense of wholeness, authenticity and congruence as we start to tackle the obstacles in your life.

Lastly, I am an EMDR-trained therapist. This is a form of trauma-processing therapy that can help individuals understand and process traumatic experiences or life events that are still impacting them. Feel free to ask me more about this if it is of interest to you. A few other areas of interest for me as a counsellor are somatic therapy (using the body as a resource and mechanism of healing as well as Existential-Analysis (working with our fundamental realities as humans).

I look forward to meeting you!

About Me

I know that opening up can feel vulnerable, and finding the right counsellor matters. Because of that, I offer a free consultation call where we can get to know one another, discuss what brings you to counselling, and determine whether working together feels like a good fit. As a counsellor, my goal is to create a warm and supportive space where you feel comfortable showing up as yourself. When people feel understood and safe, therapy can become a meaningful place for insight, healing, and growth.

• I enjoy working with individuals who:

• are navigating life transitions

• are university students, teens or early adults adjusting to independence and change

• are curious about themselves and their emotional patterns

• struggle with overthinking, self-criticism, or low self-esteem

• feel emotionally overwhelmed or stuck

• benefit from validation, self-compassion, and a deeper understanding of their experiences

• who are open to trying new ways of relating to themselves and their emotions

My approach is integrative, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and other modalities. This means that in our work together, we may explore your thoughts, beliefs, emotions, body-based experiences, and relational patterns — including parts of yourself that may feel unfamiliar, automatic, or difficult to make sense of. I aim to help clients better understand themselves with compassion, while also identifying what truly matters to them and what may be contributing to their current struggles. I also offer psychoeducation when helpful, sharing insights that can support a deeper understanding of the mind, body, and nervous system.

My goal as your counsellor is to create a space that feels warm and judgment-free. I hope that through a sense of safety in our work together, you’ll be able to explore your experiences with curiosity, honesty, and care. I’m genuinely interested in getting to know you — what matters to you, how you make sense of things, and what has shaped your story. ####Questions?
