Hello! My name Is Rebecca (she/they) :) I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor who offers counselling to fellow QTBIPOC folks including both adults and teens. I believe that therapy is inherently political and my approach takes that of a more casual and relational nature than some may have previously experienced. My aim in doing so is to not only break down power dynamics, but also to prioritize building our trust, safety, and rapport. Whether you’re looking for support reactively (crisis management) or proactively (growth focused), I graciously welcome you to co-exist and share space with me.

When we get disconnected from ourselves, we get lost. The purpose of therapy is to connect us back to ourselves. My great passion is to show the possibility of healing to people. I help clients find a healthy connection to themselves and have compassion, so they can know themselves as peaceful, whole and safe. I know that no single approach is the right one for every individual. For this reason, I have integrated everything I have learnt into a holistic psychosomatic approach to the treatment of trauma.

My typical clients are teens, adults & couples, experiencing a feeling of being stuck in re-occurring patterns in their lives. They often have insight into their experience, and are aware of what needs to change - they just need a bit of support making it happen!

You're starting to notice that you aren't coping with life so well. Maybe something big has happened lately, like a death, a break-up, or career shift. Maybe you don't know what changed, but you can tell something isn't working. Up until now you avoided it by staying busy and keeping distracted, but you're getting tired of feeling like you have a mask on, pretending you're fine when inside you know you're not okay. You are realizing can't keep this up much longer. You need help turning inward so you can figure out what to do. You don't want to be alone with this anymore.

With over 10 years of professional experience, I have had the privilege of assisting individuals, couples, and families from diverse cultural backgrounds who have encountered trauma-related challenges resulting in conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and grief. My specialization lies in employing an integrative approach to ensure that every client receives personalized and empathetic care. As a trauma-informed counselor, I firmly believe in the unique strengths and narratives that each individual carries, recognizing the intrinsic value of their life journey in shaping their present circumstances.

Helping anxious, stressed out, panicked, burntout, and neurodivergent professionals, executives, parents, and university students answer, "What if it could be better?" and create lifechanging shifts towards a life more worth living is what I specialize in. To get there, we identify your capacities, blocks, and goals, build your self regulation & coping skills, and desensitize & process any stuck points. It's a mix of serious focus and clinical expertise and enjoyment in session - you can expect to feel safe and heard, to laugh and cry, to be challenged (just enough), and to leave with practical tools to use on your own.

Women's Issues Counsellors
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realised.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
