Accepting New Clients (June 2026): You're a highly sensitive person who people-pleases, has a hard time setting boundaries, and struggles to regulate big emotions. You have read the self-help books, podcasts, tried meditation, journaling, exercise, clean eating, watched all the therapy Instagram reels - maybe you even tried therapy before, but you felt like you were just talking about your problems. You need somebody to 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, and (lovingly) call you on your shit
It's time to get back to basics: set better boundaries, regulate your emotions, calm your nervous system, and stop people pleasing. You need to work through your childhood trauma AND take action to creating the life you truly dream of. You want the confidence to show up as authentically you, and to uncover the blocks and patterns that have kept you stuck
I’m Jaclyn, and I created True Self Counselling for clients who are tired of rehashing their pasts, trying all the "hacks" they read about and getting nowhere. Our work is based in neuroscience, is trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, and culturally sensitive. Send us an email to get a personalized recommendation for a therapist who can best help you.
