In a compassionate and safe environment, I enable you to adopt an accepting, compassionate, and curious relationship with your emotions and behaviours. With this foundation, we become agents of our own renewal. We steer our ship with confidence and vision, even when the seas are tossing and turning.

Life in the world today can feel overwhelming. That’s a reasonable response, especially with complex trauma, attachment struggles, or when you’re exhausted from pushing through, overthinking, caretaking, or holding everything together. You may feel stuck in old patterns, dysregulated, disconnected from your body, or unsure how to move forward despite the insight you have.
I work with adults who feel deeply and think deeply; seekers, outsiders and cycle-breakers navigating trauma, anxiety, burnout, relationship struggles, or the lingering effects of growing up without enough safety, support, or space to fully be themselves.

Hi, I’m Sandy Kirkwood, the founder of Integrate Counselling. I’m passionate about counselling because I know that with the right therapist at the right moment in your life, it can be both helpful and life changing. I know this because, over the years, I have witnessed so many clients move through their struggles to gain a deeper understanding of who they are and what they truly want. I have gathered this particular team of therapists together because I know how they work with clients. They have been either close colleagues of mine or past supervisees. I have witnessed their warmth, wisdom and effectiveness in working with clients.

Life doesn’t always unfold the way we imagined. Transitions, relationships, and the ups and downs of our inner world can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or questioning your direction. You may find yourself in familiar relationship patterns, feeling anxious beneath the surface, or noticing patterns like overthinking, people-pleasing, or struggling to set boundaries, even when you know something needs to change. Part of you understands what’s happening, but another part still feels stuck. Together, we’ll look at the patterns underneath what you’re experiencing, not just the symptoms, so change feels meaningful and lasting.

I often work with clients trying to figure out who they are and who they want to be. My practice focuses on supporting those with ADHD, Autism, Trauma, and OCD. I believe there is a "why" behind every behavior and emotion. This is often rooted in childhood. When we can find understanding of the "why" behind these patterns, we can gain greater self-compassion and ability to change. Figuring out your "why" and values can help you navigate life's uncertain moments with confidence. My goal is to help you feel supported in making lasting changes. I work with adults, teens, children, and couples.
