Counselling Services

We both use a relational, trauma informed approach, building a safe space through attentive listening and therapeutic presence. We both have daily mindfulness and grounding practices which we bring in to create this space. We have similar interests and knowledge, as well as different but complimentary areas of practice.

Counselling with Compassion - Counsellor & Supervision Services
  • “Because compassion is a state of mind that is itself open, abundant, and inclusive, it allows us to meet pain more directly. We know we are not alone in our suffering”
