Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) she provides practical techniques to address anxious and depressive moods. She believes that self-talk and lifestyle routines play a key role in successfully managing emotions. When we adapt a more positive, balanced perspective, our feelings and behaviours follow. Past hurts and traumas can be used as a powerful ally to produce a newfound freedom. By walking through our pain we can find new restored purpose and JOY!

My passion is to walk along side with people during their journey towards healing and growth. I value each client as a unique individual, who deserves to be treated with compassion and respect. I believe that developing emotional maturity and gaining self-understanding are essential steps towards personal growth.Over the course of our lives, we all inevitably experienced some emotional wounds, which hinder us from personal growth. Counselling serves as a process to help us uncover those wounds and heal, and in the process, gain self-understanding and self-awareness, and be empowered to make changes towards holistic growth.

The conditions I primarily work with are ADHD, PTSD, depression, anxiety, sexual dysfunction, addiction and disordered eating. I draw on different treatment modalities dependent on your needs. I want counselling to centre around you. You guide me on what works and what you'd like to focus on during our work together so I can tailor sessions to you.

What do you do when you don’t have all the answers but you know that something in your life needs to change? You smile, help others and get the job done but there is something missing from your smile that others can’t see…only you can feel the void. You check the “life success” boxes one after the other and appear to have it together on the outside but you fear that one day that you might crumble under the pressure. Know this, you no longer have to struggle alone. Let me walk along side you in this journey called life and help you make meaningful changes, gain clarity and the confidence you need to progress to your goals.

Research has shown that the most important factor in therapy is the therapeutic alliance, or plainly put, the relationship between the client and the therapist. It is this kind of relationship in counselling that has been identified as the fundamental catalyst to facilitate and enhance wellness, change and growth. This, in addition to the tools used from such modalities as CBT, DBT, EFT etc. that can help individuals to experience change, growth and increased well being. I'm honoured to help connect with you where you will hopefully feel encouraged, challenged, supported and helped to meet your goals and make changes in your life.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and I am accepting new clients. No one promised that things would be easy, but we don't always imagine that things could feel this hard. Life is difficult, especially when we feel like we're going through it alone. We may feel stuck, isolated, unworthy of love, or overcome by sadness, grief, or painful memories. We all get to a point when we feel this way, but it doesn't mean that we must continue to fight these feelings on our own. You deserve to get to a place where you can live a rich and meaningful life.

Are you struggling with trauma, self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, emotional or physical abuse, grief, separation or divorce? My name is Melinda Bandak and I am a Registered Psychotherapist who has been working with a range of clients for 23 years.

As the innovative Brené Brown once said "when we deny our story, it defines us, but when we own our story, we can write a brave new ending". We all have a story that's filled with difficult times, hardship and unique experiences that have shaped who you are now. What happens next is up to you, as you have more control than you might think. if you're ready to take the next step in changing your life for the better then I invite you to allow me to be a part of that, where I can offer a safe space free of judgement and criticism. Instead I can help guide you toward your goals offering clarity, perspective and empathic understanding.

Perhaps it started with one or two jarring and disturbing thoughts or images or an unshakable feeling that something wasn't right. Desperate to get rid of this unsettling experience, you performed a behaviour or mental act that you just felt compelled to complete, and at first, it seemed to help. Now you are caught in a vicious cycle where you feel the overwhelming urge to engage in certain thoughts or behaviours over and over in search of relief. You're stuck, and you desperately want to get out. If you can relate, you are not alone. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is an experience that affects 1-2% of the population.

I work with clients who wish to heal from traumatic experiences and with general mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, and grief. I have experience working with individuals with traumatic backgrounds, Borderline Personality Disorder, addictions, personality disorders, religious trauma, and eating disorders.

I remember the times, feeling so worthless, not wanting to live. Having 2 young children yet, wanting to die. The pain was unbearable, I could not see any other way out. I cried non stop, dragging myself out of bed in the morning; slept many hours during the day. Not able to see any possibility of change in sight. Why do I hurt? Why am I here? Blaming myself for all that had gone wrong in my life. I was emotionally frozen. No hope! Even the things I loved, didn't bring me joy any more. Does this sound like you? Do you want to be rid of your pain? Are you tired of living this way? IT IS possible to change! I did!

Hi I'm Katie :) I love journeying with clients through life’s difficulties as they work to reach their counselling goals. I understand clients are often approaching me with some tough life issues and are sacrificing (time, finances, ect.) to pursue counselling. I'm compassionate, attentive and I am hopeful for change. I'm passionate about helping to empower clients to face mental health challenges so they can realize the hope that exists for them to live a full life. I also recognize the need to support, equip and educate family members, friends, and colleagues of those living with difficult mental health and personality issues.
