Life Coaching Therapists in Guelph, ON
Whether experiencing relationship conflict, stress, grief, trauma or seeking new perspectives and fresh solutions on your life journey, the essence of my approach is to provide a safe, supportive base where you can explore, understand, and heal issues causing discomfort and imbalance in your life.
Drawing on Western psychology, Eastern philosophy, and Hatha Yoga I encourage the individual to find the essential equation of positive thought, focused action and inner calm. Combining the structure of psychological analysis with the intuitive nature of yoga and spirituality I guide the individual to tap into their innate wisdom to discover their "next steps".

In addition to my Masters of Social Work and a BA in Psychology, I am trained in EMDR, IFS, coaching, emotional eating, chronic dieting, bingeing and sugar/food addictions and the Enneagram.
My areas of expertise include: Sugar and food addictions, body image, weight issues, codependency, boundaries and relationship issues, and decluttering. Since these are often rooted in trauma, we can use EMDR and IFS to help. My happiest clients tend to be middle-aged women who struggle with food, eating, and weight and want to make some changes. Together, we uncover patterns and behaviours that keep us stuck and I use gentle accountability and teach self-compassion to move clients into lasting changes. Sometimes the amount of 'stuff' we have in our lives is overwhelming; I want to help you see things clearly to make last changes.

I can also support working with trauma, depression, anxiety, stress or life transitions through the lens of affirming ADHD and Autistic experiences.
Everything, all at once, everywhere and 'it's like a salad bar,' are two of my favorite phrases about ADH(D) and Autism. The first captures the sometimes chaotic, sometimes invigorating nature of ADH(D). The second, captures the vast diversity of the Autistic experience. Being an ADH(D)er, Autistic person, or both, AuDH(D)er, brings many strengths, and due to living in a world not designed for our brains, many challenges. Perhaps you keep burning out in a boom/bust cycle. Perhaps you blame yourself for struggling to do things the way you "should." Perhaps the demands of work, school or home are overwhelming.

Having been through this process myself many years ago, I know firsthand the benefits of this kind of work: making sense of yourself and your struggles, outgrowing harmful patterns, increased inner freedom, and creating a life that works for you.
I work with people who are tired of collecting intellectual insight without real change — those longing for deeper, lasting inner work rooted in depth psychology and authentic spirituality. As a long-standing Registered Psychotherapist and lifelong spiritual seeker, I guide clients through a calm, reflective process that invites slowing down and honest introspection. Together, we get to know your inner world, so you can begin to trust yourself — and even like who you are. From that place, real healing becomes possible as you learn to rely on yourself to grow and change.

I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) practicing under supervision. I have a Master’s in Neuroscience and am completing my Master of Counselling (graduating Sept 2026). I work with neurodivergent, creative, or highly sensitive people who feel deeply and are often misunderstood. Many experience anxiety, burnout, autism, ADHD, depression, or identity stress, and want to feel seen without being fixed. Many struggle with masking, emotional regulation, executive function, or self-criticism. With evidence-based, neuroaffirming therapy, we’ll build resilience, self-trust, and meaning that honours your unique way of being.

You have creatively adapted to life in a way that has got you this far...
Angry much? Are you and your partner arguing more than ever? Is someone threatening to leave if you don’t change your angry ways? Perhaps your anger even surprises YOU at times. If any of this sounds familiar, let’s talk! Whether you feel alone in your anger - or worry you’ll end-up alone if you don’t ‘do something’ about it - this can be a pretty painful place to be. If you’ve got the energy and desire to get to know yourself a little better, and have the interest to explore your inner 'landscape' more thoroughly, then I encourage you to book a free consult so we can chat more about what’s happening and what may be possible!

Life Coaching Counsellors
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.
Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.
Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.
How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
