Therapists in N6A

I have nearly a decade of experience working with children, youth, and families during some of their most difficult life experiences and I am inspired by the incredible strength individuals have. Some periods of life are chaotic, overwhelming, and lonely and no one should have to manage these alone. I primarily work with youth and adults age 14+ and specialize in life stressors, trauma, emotion regulation, anxiety, and mood concerns. I view therapy as a space for strengthening your sense of self, improving relationships, and gaining insight which can help inform the development of coping strategies that work for you.

John O'Donohue wrote: "Our bodies know they belong; it is our minds that make our lives so homeless." You may resonate with this statement. You may feel tension, sadness, disconnection, discouragement, or fear. Our minds tend to pull us into the past or make us feel anxious about our future. Stress and overwhelm can flood our senses or distract us from the cues our bodies are trying to tell us. Big emotions can interfere with the person we are trying to become and can impact the relationships we are trying to cultivate.

Welcome to Chandler Counselling & Consulting and congratulations on taking the first step toward bettering your life. I look forward to developing a treatment plan based on your individual needs. I have been working for the past twenty years alongside individuals wanting to improve their well-being and escape the hold of anxiety, trauma, and depression. My work has been centred around attachment, trauma, and the work that can be done when we focus our attention on the relationships that matter to the individual served. Every individual is different and I pride myself on recognizing each client's unique needs.

Are you a loved one struggling with substance use or addictions? Do you find yourself extremely anxious or depressed with no known cause? Are you looking for support for yourself or your loved one who may also have a trauma history? These challenges do not need to be faced alone. Within all of us is a great capacity to heal and recover. For all of the times you have tried to take on life's challenges alone, you are not alone and there is help to guide you through your struggles. Allow me to guide you through what life has thrown your way and take back control of your path. Recovery is possible for anyone.

At certain times in our lives, we may feel like we are stuck. We struggle with maintaining our relationships at home or work, have difficulty meeting deadlines, or are unable to deal with the emotions of what is happening in the world. Counselling is a way to work through these issues. Here are a few other reasons why individuals and couples may seek counselling: reduced emotional and physical connection due to strained communication and increased conflict, infidelity, workplace conflict/bullying, recent separation or divorce, and an inability to find a suitable partner. These situations can cause immense pain.

Are you feeling disconnected from yourself, unable to access a version of you that feels trapped within? You are not alone. Specializing in facilitating growth in adolescents and adults, I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety or depression stemming from self-worth concerns, past hurtful experiences, or obsessive thoughts and behaviours. Wounds from hurtful experiences can significantly impact how we perceive ourselves, the world, and others. These wounds may prevent you from living a life aligned with your true wants and values.

As a parent, do you wonder how best to support the emotional needs of your teen or how to get them to open up to you? Do you dream of a closer, deeper relationship with your teen but you aren’t sure how to get there when it feels like they’re pushing you away? If your teen is experiencing difficulties in relationships with friends or family members, emotions that feel overwhelming or out of control, or difficulty making healthy decisions, let's talk about how I can help.

I understand the feeling of overwhelm that some may have towards therapy. This understanding enables me to be genuine and intentional within my work. I enter each relationship with new energy, focusing our time on your unique goals. I believe in the philosophy that we are innately pulled towards health therefore, I believe in your capacity to move towards a healthier and happier version of yourself. I work as a facilitator, guiding you in accessing your innate resiliency.

I am currently not accepting new clients. You have taken a great step forward in seeking support. I view therapy as a very collaborative process. My goal is to be empathetic, engaging, and to provide a comfortable framework for you to explore the emotions, choices and relationships that are most important to you. Together we will develop a treatment plan that best meets your needs. My therapeutic approach is warm and non-judgmental, which I balance with direct and open conversation. I am driven in my work to empower people to discover and enhance their personal strengths, and use these skills to reach their goals.

I believe in each person’s capacity for healing and I endeavour to meet you from a place of curiosity, compassion, and collaboration. I work with individuals to process and peacefully resolve past trauma, manage present anxieties, and effectively cope with stressors to engage more fully in their lives. I am an attachment-based practitioner trained in various integrative and relational therapies with a specific focus on trauma recovery and anxiety management.

Accepting new clients. I am a registered social worker that is passionate about helping women and couples grow and heal. I began my career working with and advocating for abused women. I then transitioned into healthcare where I worked in women’s health, adult and paediatric emergency departments. My journey with women and their families has provided me the honour of empathically walking with them during some of their darkest days. I am also excited to be working with couples as I believe that our personal relationships are often our greatest opportunities for growth and healing.

When life is difficult, we often don't know where to turn. Through discovery and compassion, comes hope and growth and that is the goal counselling aims to provide. I have been practicing counselling for 20 years and I provide individual counselling to those over the age of 16 who are looking for hope, support and growth. I am available to see clients in both London and Ingersoll and my role is to support clients in finding ways to improve the quality of their life and finally feel like they can move forward.

If you find yourself struggling with the lingering effects of trauma and seeking to understand how it manifests in your present life, you're in the right place. I believe in the innate capacity for healing within each of us, but sometimes our protective parts can get in the way of that healing. Whether you are new to therapy or have done this before, my goal is to meet you where you are and provide a safe, nurturing environment to cultivate healing, growth, and empowerment.

We all go through rough spots in life where we can benefit from time to reflect. These times can also be an opportunity to understand ourselves better, and make sense of harmful patterns. Throughout life, we develop thought and behaviour patterns in our response to stress, in our relationships, and in our daily habits. With effective tools and strategies, we can make sense of them, and let them go. This opens us up to a more authentic and healthy life.

If you're seeking support or guidance on your journey, you're not alone. I have had the privilege of walking alongside adolescents, young adults, and families through life's difficulties. I specialize in helping people struggling with anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I offer compassionate guidance for communication hurdles, parenting challenges, and navigating separation/divorce. I help empower individuals, equipping them with the resilience and tools needed to effectively manage work stress and navigate conflicts with confidence and grace. My approach is rooted in building trust and fostering genuine connections.

Are you feeling angry, irritable, and exhausted? Are you struggling with past traumas and feel stuck and unable to move on? Do you find yourself struggling at work or school?

It IS possible to feel happy, fulfilled, and at peace. Together we will unpack your story with curiosity and compassion, finding ways for you to feel how you WANT to feel. It IS possible to live the life you crave so deeply.
