Sometimes we feel helpless to control our emotions and thoughts, which negatively impacts our focus and interaction with others. At Nooma Counselling, we help our clients take back control by identifying their struggle, exploring solutions, and designing a unique plan to resolve their internal conflict. Imagine the freedom you can have when you work through that problem and meet your own needs!

Taking that first step to reach out for support and discuss your story is a great sign of strength and it also signifies the beginning of a personal, enriching journey. I work alongside children, adolescents, and adults and work towards goals that are formulated in collaboration with clients to ensure that any unique needs are being met and inner strengths/resources are being nurtured. I have experience working with clients who present with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, body-image concerns, relational concerns, and other difficulties. I have also worked alongside those who have experienced trauma and/or loss.

If you’re reading this, you likely don’t want to spend the rest of your life feeling the way you do now. Stressed? Exhausted? Angry? Confused? As we attempt to navigate in a chaotic world, it’s important to have someone to talk to, someone who can provide needed support. I have twenty years of experience working in mental health, including over fourteen years in a psychiatric hospital setting. My training is in a number of orientations, with advanced training in mindfulness, meaning-oriented modalities, and an integrated psychodyamic approach (self-in-relationship therapy). I've also received training in the area of grief and loss.

If you are an “over” person - an overthinker, overwhelmed, or overworked - then you are one of the people I work with best. You are hard on yourself, “self-care” is confusing or guilt-inducing, you can get paralyzed by intense feelings, stuck in negative thought spirals, or find yourself shutting down. You may have been wondering for a long time how to turn off negative thoughts or let go of things you can’t change. The constant weight of what you believe you “should” be doing can feel immobilizing, and the endless fight against the “what ifs” is exhausting. It may feel impossible to move on or let go of negativity or trauma.

You’re a Millennial or Gen Z woman who has done everything to hold it all together yet still find yourself in relationships that leave you feeling invisible, disconnected, or stuck, you’re not alone. Maybe life has felt unpredictable or overwhelming, or perhaps you appear composed on the outside while inside it’s a different story. You just can't help but shake that feeling of anxiety, tension, or self worry quietly following you everywhere. Perhaps you keep finding yourself in frustrating and repetitive patterns in relationships, at work, or in life and aren’t sure why.

As a Registered Psychotherapist, I work with individuals in east Ottawa, Orleans, and the area. My goal in working with clients - and my hope for everyone - is that we create fulfilling lives for ourselves and meaningful relationships with our partners, family, and friends.

Claudine has been working with children and families for over a decade in many different roles, as a child protection worker, an advocate for new nursing moms, a crisis management worker with teenagers and their families as well as a parenting support counselor. Claudine mostly tends to draw from the person-centered approach when in a therapeutic relationship with clients. This means that she makes consistent efforts to meet each client "where they are" and to serve as a catalyst to each individual who is progressing through their unique process of self-discovery and self-identification.

If you’re here, chances are life has thrown you at least one curveball—maybe several, maybe even all at once—and you’re trying to figure out what to do with them.
Maybe things feel overwhelming, stuck, or just… off. Maybe you’ve tried to “figure it out” on your own, but it’s not quite working. That’s where therapy comes in—and no, it doesn’t have to be stiff, awkward, or feel like you’re being analyzed under a microscope.
I’m here to offer a space that’s real, human, and actually helpful. We’ll talk, we’ll make sense of things, and we will even laugh—because sometimes humour is part of how we survive being human.

You've always been told you're "too much" - too emotional, too intense, too needy. And now you've overcorrected. You're independent to a fault. You don't ask for what you need because you don't want to be a burden. But those unmet needs and unexpressed desires don't just disappear - they resurface in the most inconvenient ways: snipping at your partner, shutting down at work, avoiding tough conversations with your friends, fighting with your siblings...You wonder what's wrong with you, it seems like everything you do is wrong. You know you need to learn to love yourself, but you have no idea what that actually even means

You're a highly sensitive human in your 20's or 30's who needs a therapist who "gets" your neurodivergent brain. You've tried therapy before, but felt like you were just talking about your problems - you need somebody who will help you actually PROCESS what's going on, not just listen. You need somebody who can hold you accountable to making real change in your life. You've tried all the things - meditation, journaling, breathwork, medication, positive thinking, you've watched all the therapy tiktoks but you're still stuck. You have felt this way for a while and are not only ready, but are fully committed to making real change
