You deserve to feel excited about life, to like who you are, and to feel more than just stress and worry! I think many people are nervous when it comes to the idea of therapy/counselling because there is sometimes a fear that if I face the music, will it just get louder? Well, I want to provide you with a space that allows you to control the volume, while I help guide you and support you through the process. I want you to reach your goals, overcome emotional suffering, and develop the skills you need to feel empowered as you navigate this complex thing, we call life.

Accepting NEW clients online or In person- Whether you are seeking counselling for the first time or returning for new support, it can be difficult to reach out. I work with clients who may be feeling “stuck” or “not like themselves” and wanting to work through why this might be. It could be related to relationships, mental health such as depression or anxiety, lack of confidence or self-esteem, work conflict, high self-expectations or any other number of life stressors. You are the expert in your life and use a collaborative approach to ensure you feel supported in session and empowered to use the tools provided out of session.

Congratulations on your courage! Becoming a conscious and emotional adult is beautiful work and will give life to all your relationships. Together we bring the unknown into the know, the unconscious to the conscious, so you can return to balance more quickly. I'm a skilled and compassionate therapist with over 13 years experience working with groups and individuals in personal growth. Your needs are at the centre of every therapy session and I truly enjoy helping you quickly get to the heart-of-the-matter so you can stop guessing and start creating the changes you seek.

Everyone needs additional support at times. Life can become tangled with mixed emotions and underlying thoughts or beliefs. There may be unexpected obstacles, challenges and changes in your life causing you to feel stressed, anxious or overwhelmed, or you may not identify with how you are feeling, but you have noticed that your mood and behaviours have changed. You may not be aware of the physical and/or social impact this may be having on your life. Together we can identify your inner strengths and develop additional strategies and tools to not only help you cope, but to support you and help you grow.

I am currently accepting new clients for in person and telehealth sessions. I work from a person-centered lens, focusing on building a strong therapeutic alliance and offering an empathetic ear; pointing out where you may not be living congruently between who you are and who you want to be, gently encouraging change or self acceptance. With me you will find a therapist whose style is gently challenging, balanced with a sense of humor, patience, and non-judgmental understanding.

I use the art and science of psychological therapy to support the personal growth, well-being, and happiness of my clients. My approach is in-depth therapy and it involves us understanding you holistically as a unique individual. In your therapy, we aim to go beyond psychological symptoms and to pay close attention to the specific internal and external factors that drive your symptoms (or areas of personal concern).

Mental health is never static; it ebbs and flows with the unique realities of our lives through experiences of joy, trauma, growth, loss, relationships and everyday stress. Understandably, some of those moments' impacts will leave us bruised, lost or broken. The concept of becoming overwhelmed by one’s thoughts, feelings, or bodily existence can create a sense of chaos and hopelessness; a future that you, the individual daring enough to be in this moment, have determined is but a moment of your journey, not your story. Therefore, I offer a space where you can experience safety in exploration and guidance in the recovery of self.

Do you want to feel more confident? Are you feeling anxious about the future? Overwhelmed with your career and need direction? If you experienced a loss that has affected your confidence, you can soon regain a sense of calm and reassurance. I am both a Career and Life Counsellor, and I help people develop confidence and find rewarding careers. You no longer need to feel stuck or play small. True confidence can only be found within. Let me show you how.

My approach to therapy is all about creating a safe space where you can feel like your true self. I support individuals, 13+, navigate life transitions and work with clients struggling with symptoms from trauma, anxiety disorders and mood disorders. I hold additional certifications in the field of trauma and my practice is deeply rooted in a trauma-informed perspective. My aim is to make you feel at home, explore your inner strengths, dial down the noise of those tough thoughts and feelings, and increase feelings of happiness within. My style is collaborative, laid-back, and relational. Therapy is not meant to be stressful!

Do you struggle with overwhelming emotions, trouble focusing, or just can't turn off your mind to sleep? Is each day a challenge to start? Do you sometimes feel like nobody understands what you are facing? Feel alone or abandoned? Would you like to start the day feeling like you have the skills to move forward in a purposeful and fulfilling way? At Careworks we have a team that have been practicing in the mental health field for many years, some have more than 15 years of experience. We are a team of individuals who focus on and love helping others! Contact us today for a free consultation, and begin your healing journey.

You may be considering counselling therapy for a specific reason such as a grief or sadness, difficulty in controlling your use of drugs or alcohol, or life changes such as separation and divorce. Perhaps life simply seems difficult. Many of us will have had difficult experiences at some stage of our lives that may have affected our sense of self or leave us searching for more. Although it may be difficult to reach out for help, please know that I will hear your story with compassion, openness, and a willingness to support you in your healing process.

Hello ! I’m Hannah Sparkes with Spark Your Growth. Seeking support can be hard so I appreciate you taking time to view my profile and see if I am a suitable fit for you! I work with clients to help heal trauma, develop self-confidence, cope with life’s stressors, build stronger relationships, regulate anxiety and stress, overcome addiction and achieve a life you want to live, amongst other things. Given that each person is unique, I understand there is no one-size fits all when it comes to therapy. I use a combination of cognitive and somatic therapies to create an approach that will meet each individual's needs and interests.
