Experiential therapy can help you get back to a calm, confident self, sooner. I am a lived experience and neurodivergent therapist, trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Coherence Therapy and training in EMDR. These approaches engage the brain's natural memory reconsolidation process, which allows for transformation of traumatic memories to alleviate the distress that comes with them, such as anxiety, people-pleasing patterns, physical tension, self-sabotage, and depression. These aha! moments in experiential therapy can help us develop a new relationship with ourselves and profoundly shift our old reaction patterns.

Hi, I'm Bec Stewart. Many people have shared with me that while traditional talk therapy can be helpful, it sometimes doesn’t bring about the deeper change or healing they’re hoping for. That’s why I'm passionate about a holistic, integrative approach, which gently supports you in going beyond surface-level solutions and exploring the roots of your challenges. (EMDR, DBR, parts-work, & somatic therapies ). I know this kind of therapy can take courage, but many find it opens the door to more meaningful, long-lasting change. It’s a privilege to walk alongside you on what could be a transformative journey.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally shut down, or constantly “on edge.” Maybe anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, neurodivergence, or major life transitions are affecting your relationships and sense of self. You want support that feels safe, thoughtful, and genuinely understanding — not rushed or surface-level. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, emotional regulation challenges, and neurodiversity (including autism and ADHD).

Hi there. People come to counselling for so many reasons; maybe they're navigating traumatic memories/experiences, difficult feelings, the complexities of belonging & identity, or their relationship with drugs &/or alcohol. Maybe they feel the strain of trying to navigate systems or a world that seems to be falling apart. Whatever you're holding, I'm here to hold them with you in a gentle space that carries all parts of you & your story. I walk with people who may be navigating systemic oppression, complex trauma & addiction, substance use concerns, as well as neurodivergent, LGTBQIA+, mixed-cultural & BIPOC experiences.
