I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) and a Certified EMDR Therapist with over 16 years of experience. By gently interweaving both these modalities, EMDR becomes more gentle! I am passionate about journeying alongside my clients to aid a deeper loving connection with self and in turn with others. By incorporating the mind body connection my clients welcome parts of themselves and their lives that at one time may have been excruciating into an integral, whole and beautiful self. EMDR helps process through the most painful experience so that we can see ourselves in a new and resilient light. It’s such an honour!

While I have experience working with individuals experiencing a wide range of mild to severe mental health concerns, I have a particular interest, and skill base, supporting individuals who have experienced trauma, both single incident traumas and childhood or complex trauma. Because many mental health concerns are rooted in trauma I support individuals experiencing PTSD, CPTSD, depression, anxiety, difficulty managing emotions, feeling numb, feelings of worthlessness, guilt or shame, struggling with a harsh inner critic, and/or difficulty in relationships.

Accepting new clients! Welcome. Counselling provides you with a space to land where you can feel supported and cared for. Seeking help for your well-being can feel vulnerable, but it is an incredible act of courage given life is full of unpredictable challenges and messy moments. I am here to support you with these moments. So many of us encounter relationship difficulties, overpowering emotions and challenges that hinder our ability to fully engage and connect in our lives. I am committed to creating a safe space for you to explore pathways to authenticity, internal congruence and a more fulfilling and joyful life.

My approach to counselling is very much rooted in the here and now. My goal is to help you get through whatever life difficulties you are facing and help equip you with the skills and insight to handle anything else that may come up in the future. Although our main focus will be helping you with the immediate issues at hand, I find value in looking at past behaviors and incidents to better help you understand how your emotions may be effecting your current situations. Each person is unique, therefore, your sessions will be tailored to best serve you and help you grow in the areas you wish to see improvement in.

Hello, I'm Nicholle Miller, a counsellor in training with experience working with people who face a variety of challenges in life, including trauma, chronic pain, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and problems in relationships and families.
I became a counsellor as I grew up experiencing child abuse and neglect resulting in CPTSD and chronic pain and illness diagnoses. I know firsthand how counselling and the work done between sessions can empower someone to break free from the surviving mechanisms that allowed them to move through the trauma but are now preventing them from creating the life they want.

Life can sometimes feel like a rough sea and counselling can help you navigate the turbulent waters. It is my goal to provide a space where you can work through challenging issues and provide support to navigate these areas of your life. I will support you by acknowledging your unique experiences and struggles with life circumstances, inviting you to explore new ways of coping. It is my belief that connecting to the body, using techniques such as breathing, noticing sensations, and recognizing how sensations are linked to feelings often provides insight and are powerful resources to work through emotions.

70 years of life experience has been my best teacher (even though I have all the necessary professional training.) I have experienced loss when 2 spouses passed away from disease. I have won my own battles with cancer and addiction. I have raised 4 children, 2 step children (some with special needs) and now enjoy 12 grandchildren. I treat anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and anger by addressing the root of the problem - trauma. I am trained in EMDR, which is useful in healing PTSD (both childhood and adult trauma). Within minutes (not months) the pain of trauma can be permanently erased and people are less triggered in life.

Whether you are looking to improve your relationships, focusing on personal growth, or healing from past wounds, you are in the right place. I believe that we have all that we need to heal ourselves within us, but sometimes we need the help of a compassionate person, such as a counsellor, in reconnecting to that part of ourselves. If you've been feeling isolated with your thoughts, emotions, and experiences, know that you are not alone even though it may seem that way at times.

Sometimes life presents us with challenges that we didn't ask for. This can feel unfair, and navigating our struggles can feel overwhelming. It's not lost on me the strength that it takes to seek help. I believe in resilience, and that you know yourself better than anyone. Sometimes you just need some support discovering your true self.

The connection you share with your counsellor is likely to play a big role in your growth and success in therapy. It’s important to find a counsellor who embodies the qualities that matter most to you. I bring my authentic self to each session, blending humour and energy with thoughtfulness, patience, and compassion. I value open-communication, and I am not afraid to ask thought-provoking questions or challenge behaviours and beliefs to help you see things from a new perspective. I take the time to understand what matters most to you—your goals, values, and the challenges that may be holding you back.
