Youth Counselling

I have had the honour of working with youth in mental health, substance use, concurrent disorders and educational psychology settings across the past ten years.

I offer Youth Counselling using a holistic approach to support what is most meaningful to each young person in the moment. Sessions typically involve working with youth to explore their current experience, with a little skill-building sprinkled in. Our work together often includes:

• Support and guidance for experiences at school, family, friendships, and the transition to young adulthood

• Nonjudgmental listening and emotional validation

• Learning about mindfulness and using the body as a resource

• Emotional regulation skills and soothing the nervous system

• Exploring interpersonal dynamics, including communication and relationship building skills

• Guidance on building healthy habits and reducing unwanted ones

My approach to working with youth includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Polyvagal Theory.
