Hi there, my name is Rio Lecointe and you may be my ideal client. What is that exactly? It is person or athlete who feels stuck—held back by self-doubt, perfectionism, or the pressure to succeed. They may struggle to open up about their thoughts, stay present during performance, or stay engaged when things get tough. They want to feel confident, balanced, and in control of their mindset. Their goal is to perform well while enjoying what they do—to reconnect with their motivation, values, and sense of purpose both in sport and everyday life.
If that sounds like you, contact me so I can help you reach your ideal meaningful self.

Many people today are successful in their careers but feel confused, disconnected or unfulfilled in their relationships. We are rarely taught the emotional skills required for healthy relationships, communication and genuine partnership.
As a psychotherapist, I help individuals and couples understand their emotional patterns, develop greater relational awareness, and build healthier, more secure connections.

Growing up can feel overwhelming at times—whether you're a child trying to understand big emotions, a teenager navigating identity and friendships, or a young adult facing life transitions and pressures.
For younger children, we use creative and play-based approaches to help them express themselves in ways that feel natural and comfortable. With teenagers and young adults (up to age 25), sessions are more conversational, while still adapting to your unique style and needs.

FAQ - About Child Therapy
When does a child need to see a therapist?
Children naturally experience emotional ups and downs. Sometimes, though, they need support from a professional. A child may benefit from therapy if their emotions or behaviours change significantly within a short period of time. For example, if a child usually spends time with friends after school but begins isolating in their room, further inquiry is warranted. Other areas for concern include altered sleep patterns, lack of appetite, intense anger, irritability, or hopelessness, or developmental regression in young children (bedwetting, thumb-sucking).
What can a child therapist help with?
A therapist can help with any difficult experience a child may encounter growing up, including learning problems or anxiety related to school, relationship challenges with friends or parents, bullying, intense emotions or phobias, divorce and family dynamics, or the death of a pet or loved one. A therapist can help children process their experience and develop coping skills in an age-appropriate way
What therapy types are most suitable for children?
Children can benefit from different forms of therapy, including family therapy, parent-child interaction therapy, play therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and exposure therapy, depending on their condition. Play therapy is a great option for younger children who may not be able to fully articulate their feelings. In this approach, kids play with toys and games while a therapist observes and helps the child express their emotions and develop coping skills.
Do I need to attend therapy with my child?
Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.
How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?
A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
