Ros Wilson
Counsellor, ACA-L2
Serves Area
I offer in-person Counselling, Coaching and Supervision, face to face and via Zoom.
My ideal clients are women who look capable and successful on the outside but privately feel emotionally exhausted. Many grew up with emotionally immature or narcissistic parents and learnt that being responsible, keeping the peace, becoming the peacekeeper, or carrying everyone else's needs. They often struggle with people-pleasing, guilt, anxiety, self-doubt, hypervigilance, or difficulty setting boundaries. Together we'll make sense of these survival patterns, calm your nervous system, rebuild self-trust and healthy boundaries, help you reconnect with the woman you've always been beneath years of adapting to survive.

Psychologist, MA, PsyBA - Clin. Psych
Serves Area
Like roots growing quietly beneath the surface, I believe that healing happens when people feel safe, connected, and supported. When we feel connected, both within ourselves and with the communities around us, we can create the right conditions for meaningful and and lasting change, unfolding gently in its own time. I bring a calm, compassionate, and curious presence and my experience in university services, hospitals, and in community teams reflect my deep commitment to offering accessible care. My practice offers a warm and grounded space where you can slow down and feel heard, and this is possible when we work collaboratively.

People come to therapy for lots of different reasons - whether it's worrying about different things, having trouble sleeping, or just feeling unhappy, stressed, or stuck. I believe all of these problems can be invitations to look deeper within ourselves, to uncover what really matters to us, the values and meanings that guide our choices, and the parts of ourselves that need our care and attention. Therapy can be a space to explore these questions, to sit with uncertainty, and to begin finding ways to live more fully, even when life feels messy or overwhelming.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.

When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.

How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
