Struggling with disordered eating or eating disorders is SO HARD. Your mind is a muddled mess of constant thoughts about food and your body. Something that sounds like...
"Maybe I’ll skip lunch with my friends because it’s just too stressful to eat food I didn’t cook myself."
"I need to eat as little as possible today to make up for that shameful binge last night."
"I have got to stop purging after meals but if I do I’m going to gain weight."
Perhaps you are tired of being stuck in cycles of restriction, fed up with avoiding your favourite foods because you’re fearful you’ll binge, or sick of making yourself sick.

I see clients in-person and online - am accepting new clients at this time. Life can feel overwhelming at times and all of us can benefit from outside help at some point in our lives. It takes courage to reach out for that help and so welcome to my page. I treat each client differently because we are all different. What is common though is my belief in a collaborative approach. Together we can prioritize issues so that you can become the best version of yourself - your authentic true self.. I have lived experience with ADHD. Coping strategies help alot. NOTE: I do not use A.I. in my practice. 100% confidentiality guaranteed.

What if therapy didn’t just help you manage symptoms, but helped you genuinely understand yourself, the why behind your reactions, patterns, and pain? My work is about transformation at that level. You will gain insight that shifts how you think, practical tools that change how you respond, and emotional awareness that reshapes how you relate to yourself and others. The result is real, sustainable growth that continues long after therapy ends. As a long-time Therapist, Registered Counselling Supervisor, and owner of Ginger Henderson Counselling Services, I bring decades of clinical experience to every session.

I specialize in counselling for men who experience anxiety, depression, anger, addictive behaviours, and ADHD. You may be unhappy in your work or your relationships, and likely struggle with a harsh internal critic. Perhaps you’ve realized that events in the past continue to impact you and are preventing you from living the way you want to. Many men have suffered childhood trauma, including physical, verbal and emotional, or sexual abuse. Even “mild” dysfunction in families can deeply affect a child’s sense of worth, which carries over into adulthood, affecting every aspect of their lives.

When we feel stuck or disconnected, we are likely experiencing a change in our momentum. My goal for our work together is to inspire forward momentum, however big or small. Rather than chasing goals, I strive to stretch your natural strengths and abilities in order to achieve your desired outcomes. By working together to equalize your own playing field, we can explore the stressors and challenges in your life. This allows us to find strategies to best manage your presenting symptoms while exploring the root discomfort.

You can’t think your way out of anxiety and OCD. If you’ve been analyzing, reassuring, or trying to control intrusive thoughts and it keeps backfiring, you’re not alone. I specialize in OCD and anxiety disorders using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and CBT—gold-standard treatments for lasting change. Together, we’ll reduce compulsions, respond differently to intrusive thoughts, and build tolerance for uncertainty so anxiety has less control. I also support trauma, grief, and life transitions when they intersect with anxiety. If you’re ready for a focused, effective approach, reach out.

With over 15 years of experience in healthcare, I’ve gradually refined my focus to reflect my greatest strength: supporting the mental health and wellness of individuals and families through a multidisciplinary, client-centred approach. My practice is grounded in a strengths-based, neurodivergent-affirming perspective and guided by the principles of trauma-informed care.
Outside of work, you’ll often find me biking around the city - usually with my two young kids in tow - as we explore local parks and beaches together.
