Hello, my name is Bronwyn. Thank you for visiting my profile. Are you feeling disconnected from your loved ones or finding yourself overwhelmed by loneliness, stress, anxiety, or trauma? Maybe you’re not sure where to turn, but you know you need support. When you work with me, you’ll be connecting with a counsellor who not only brings professional knowledge but also lived experience. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of the emotional toll that relationship struggles, divorce, parenting stress, grief and loss, abandonment, emotional abuse, and feeling unseen or unheard can have on someone.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or locked in the same painful patterns—whether in your relationships, your sense of self, or your ability to feel safe in the world.

Whether you're navigating the aftermath of trauma, struggling in your relationship, or feeling trapped by intense emotions or inner criticism, therapy can offer a space to breathe, make sense of what’s happening, and begin to heal.
