EMDR Therapists in S7K

Shelley Ugyan, RRC, is an acclaimed author, speaker and has over 15 years experience in mental and holistic health. Her evidence based tools including Cognitive Behavioural reconditioning as well as psychodynamic, relational and hypnosis approaches set you on a path to direct healing, starting immediately after the first 90 minute session. Her approach is genuine, empowering and powerful. Healing is probable, and happens as a result of conscious daily actions and unconscious dynamics that shift as a result of this process. Shelley loves to work with individuals who are ready and willing to change their thinking to heal for life.

And with the breath of life comes the journey. A path sometimes dotted with pain and struggle. Do you want to emerge from a life of shame, loss, pain, rejection, and fear? Whether you are facing relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, or other life challenges, there is always hope and healing. Wherever you land in your transformation, I will help you in a non-judging, compassionate, empathic, client-centered space that offers hope in the midst of your darkness. I welcome you to a safe space that cultivates healing and wholeness.

Accepting NEW Clients! - Struggling with feelings like anxiety, guilt, or shame that are holding you back? Feeling overwhelmed by tough thoughts or past negative experiences? Is that inner voice being extra harsh on you? Whether it's mood swings, stress, trauma, grief, ADHD, or big life changes, I'm here to help you find your way. I strongly believe everyone has the power to turn challenges, tough experiences, and painful feelings into chances to grow and discover more about yourself.

My approach is to use various therapeutic techniques to target symptoms of stress, mood disorders, anxiety and panic disorders, grief and loss, school-related issues, relationship issues, emotional distress, and trauma.

I also encourage clients to be open and voice what works and what doesn't in therapy for them, as only you know yourself and your needs best!

Hello! Together we will create a safe and brave space to explore, understand and work through any challenges, issues and topics that bring you to counselling. We will examine patterns of behaviours, the stories we tell ourselves, and deep emotional wounds, which may present as anxiety, grief, loss, low self-esteem, or ‘just going through a hard time’. Counselling allows us to feel our sadness, our anger, and celebrate our joy all while we develop new skills. In a supportive and warm environment, we will work at your pace, find tools and strategies to help you accept, cope or nurture change in your life.

Pain, heartache and suffering is not something anyone anticipates experiencing. When it comes out of no-where it may seem too unbearable to handle. Individuals may suppress what they are feeling, behave in ways they never thought they would, and/or experience secondary symptoms that mask what is truly going on! Whether it is the initial pain you are experiencing and/or years of wear and tear, please know that there is help available to you! I would be honoured to help you make sense of your experiences and take back control.

What keeps us feeling like we are in limbo/stuck? Unresolved issues and traumas can keep us feeling and/or thinking that we are not progressing as we'd like, resulting in many feelings of being overwhelmed, burned out, and experiencing physical/emotional pains. Over 18 years of clinical experience, I can help you to discover and identify the core issues/patterns/beliefs, while inspiring hope and courage while you walk a more integrated path living life with more joy and abundance; with feelings of rejuvenation and release; and with an expanded self-awareness, emotional balance, and clearer thinking.

Hello, and welcome! Life is messy, beautiful, enduring and at times intensely painful. My intention is to create a safe space for you to land, nourished with empathy and understanding. Many of us are reaching outside of ourselves for happiness or utilizing avoidance strategies to cope. As result, a void or level of fear that is often challenging to describe separates us from our inner joy. Although each individual I hold space for will speak this in their own unique way, I am here to assist you towards a more peaceful partnership with yourself, others and the world around you.
