Therapists in N6A

When we aren't feeling like the best version of ourselves, it's tough to engage in our lives and relationships in the way we would like to; our daily stress adds up and pulls us away from the things and people that are important to us. Whether little things in your life are piling up and becoming overwhelming or you are in the midst of a major life transition, accessing support is an important first step to living a values-driven life. Dedicating time and space to process our thoughts with an unbiased listener can build the insight we need to thrive.

Hi, it’s nice to virtually meet you! I’m Kristie, a clinical director, a registered social worker, and a psychotherapist with over 17+ years of experience in the field. I work from a client-centered, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive lens and do my best to greet my clients with authenticity, compassion, and from time-to-time a little humour. I support folks who are overwhelmed with emotions, feeling unsatisfied with various aspects of their lives, and with folks who are wanting to explore and navigate shifts in sexuality, gender and in their relationships. I help clients heal from the past and engage in personal growth.

I offer emotion-focused psychotherapy with individuals who have experienced relational trauma to assist in processing core emotions. I also work with couples who have experienced trauma and experience difficulties communicating effectively with each other. I offer substance use counselling related to exploring change, harm reduction, abstinence, and relapse prevention strategies. I am passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and thoroughly enjoy working with youth and young adults. I offer services through Blueprint Counselling, a London-based private practice.

My background holds 40yr of extensive practice experience and continued learning. Expertise:all relationship concerns; recovery/healing from emotional hurts, losses, trauma. Such events, if in early years, can instill persistent insecurity, fears, loneliness and grief, causing troubled close relationships and inner-life: Restricting our core resilient nature where we keep strong potentials to be more open, creative, confident, realistic/effective persons. Mainly treat “self-regulation” problems: Social anxiety, shame/guilt, anger, depression; Overdependencies; Intimacy-sexuality, Communication; Identity-Personality issues;Selfcare.

All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming (Helen Keller). I am a psychoanalyst and offer treatment for anxiety, depression, stress, loss, grief, low self-esteem/confidence and shyness. I specialize in issues arising from adult and childhood trauma, relationships with family or colleagues, life transitions of any form and gender identity. I believe it is equally important to work on our inner and outer selves and to include our past and present in order to develop a grounded and balanced sense of being. I provide a safe environment in-person or virtually where you can explore and develop your thoughts further.

Over the past 24 years I have specialized in working with individuals (adults and youth, male and female) who have done something of a sexual nature that has gotten them into trouble, or have engaged in violent behaviour towards their intimate partner. I also support families with safety planning. I am a qualified expert in Criminal, Family, and Superior court to conduct risk assessments for individuals who have committed a sexual based offence, as well provide the courts with recommendations for treatment options for those individuals. I am also specialized in working with clients suffering with anger management issues.

Do you want to know yourself better and feel more grounded? Are you tired from struggles within yourself and with others? Are you facing a major transition? Would you like to set and hold boundaries so you can show up as you’d like in your life? For these questions and more, I’m here with wholehearted support for your change journey. I help folks connect within themselves so they can discover and grow in capacity to foster self-compassion, set healthy boundaries, and create the space and confidence to show up and move forward authentically in their lives.

Are you feeling disconnected and lacking intimacy in your relationship(s)? Are you feeling stuck in past hurts and betrayals including infidelity/cheating? Do you crave connection, understanding, intimacy and harmony in your relationships? Do arguments escalate quickly and leave you feeling unheard, misunderstood, and emotionally drained? Do small disagreements spiral into major battles, creating a toxic atmosphere in your relationship? As a relational therapist, I support couples and families navigating these common relationship difficulties and many more. A thriving and fulfilling relationship is within reach!
