Hi there, my name is Joy and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor. I am passionate about supporting those who are navigating challenges related to recent or past trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I believe it is essential to understand people’s experiences in light of their particular social, cultural, and relational contexts, and I aim to be sensitive to this in my work.
My therapeutic style brings kindness and warmth, and I endeavour to create safety for my clients. My integrative approach combines cognitive and behavioural processes, somatic modalities, and emotional and mindfulness-based approaches. I am an EMDR and EFT trained therapist.
I hold the utmost respect and admiration for my clients as they work to change unhealthy thoughts and behaviours, build stronger relationships, and heal from deep trauma. It takes courage to step into the counselling process and focus on your healing and growth. I invite you to do so. Connect with me for a free 15 minute consultation,
