You’re self-aware and reflective, but life still feels heavy. Anxiety, panic, low motivation, or past trauma may be getting in the way. You try to connect with others but often withdraw or react in ways that leave you feeling ashamed or misunderstood. Even rest doesn't feel restful. Deep down, you sense that something isn’t right. You’re not broken...you’re just stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. You want to feel calm, clear, and connected again, and to start living with more confidence and ease.

Alongside structured, evidence-informed practices, I weave in mindfulness and somatic tools, tailoring each session to your individual needs and therapeutic rhythm.
I believe healing happens not by fixing what is broken, but by rediscovering the parts of ourselves that have been hidden, silenced, or forgotten. Guided by a strong relational foundation, I support clients to reconnect with their inner wisdom, build emotional resilience, and move toward the life they want to lead. My approach is informed by a compassionate, holistic, and trauma-informed lens and I tailor each session to the unique pace and rhythm of your healing. My priority is holding a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported — a space where healing can unfold and you can move closer to becoming who you truly are.

Hello, I’m Bronwyn. If you’re here, you may be carrying more than you’ve been able to share with the people around you. Perhaps stress or anxiety feels constant, or past experiences are affecting your relationships and life. It can be hard to know where to start, especially if you’ve felt unheard before.
I offer a space where you can talk, feel understood, and work through what matters to you at your own pace. My lived experience helps me understand how painful relationship difficulties, divorce, parenting pressures, grief, abandonment, and emotional abuse can be, and how lonely it can feel to face them.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behaviour through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviours and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioural habits.
