Hello, my name is Kelly!
As a registered clinical counsellor (RCC), I offer a safe, confidential space where you can show up as you are, without judgment and without pretense. My work is grounded in authenticity, integrity, and honesty. I believe in walking alongside my clients with compassion and clarity as we navigate the challenges that life can bring.
​
My approach blends Emotion-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Inner Child and Reparenting and Somatic Work, helping you not only to understand your emotional patterns but also to connect more deeply with your internal experience. Together, we can explore your past and present with curiosity, care, and intention.
​
​Currently, I work with individuals aged fourteen and older. Some areas of support I offer are:
-
Grief and loss
-
Relationship concerns
-
Separation or divorce
-
Life transitions
-
Anxiety and depression
-
Personal growth and self-discovery
​
GRIEF & LOSS
Do any of these feel familiar?
-
Are you struggling to get through the day since losing someone you love?
-
Does it feel like nobody around you truly understands what you're going through?
-
Are you unsure whether what you're feeling - the numbness, the anger, the guilt - is normal?
-
Has loss changed you, and you're not sure how to find yourself again?
-
Are you grieving something other than a death, such as a relationship, a diagnosis, a career or purpose, a life you imagined?
-
Do you feel pressure to "move on"?
If something above resonated with you, I want you to know that you are not alone, and I am here to support you.
I work with people navigating some of the hardest experiences life can bring: the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a life-altering diagnosis, miscarriage, estrangement, or the quieter losses that others rarely acknowledge.
Grief, in all its forms, deserves to be witnessed, and not managed, rushed, or minimized.
​
There is no right way or wrong way to grieve. However, there is discovering what you uniquely need in your journey of grief. Some individuals need space to speak about the person or experience they've lost; others arrive carrying emotions they can't yet name. We go at your pace.
​
I came to this work through my own experiences of loss, and through witnessing how profoundly common it is for grieving people to feel overlooked.
​
SEPARATION & DIVORCE SUPPORT FOR INDIVIDUALS
-
Are you thinking about leaving your relationship, and the fear and unknowns are overwhelming you?
-
Are you in the middle of the process of separation and in need of some support, grounding and adjusting to the evolving new life?
-
Maybe you are on the other side of divorce and are asking yourself, “now what”?
I am a compassionate counsellor who specializes in supporting individuals navigating separation and divorce. With a warm, grounded approach, I can help you work through the emotional impact of relationship transitions, including grief, uncertainty, and identity shifts.
​
I offer guidance in co-parenting communication, managing conflict, and creating stability for children during times of change. I also support clients in coping with losses, rebuilding confidence, and moving forward with clarity and resilience.
​
Whether you're facing the early stages of separation or adjusting to life after divorce, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your experiences and develop tools for healing, growth, and healthier future relationships.
​
INNER CHILD AND REPARENTING
-
Do you find yourself reacting to situations with an intensity that feels out of proportion, and then wonder where that came from?
-
Are you your own harshest critic, with an inner voice that never seems satisfied, no matter what you achieve?
-
Do you carry a deep sense of not being enough, or feel that love and belonging must be earned?
-
Did you grow up having to be the responsible one, the peacekeeper, or the invisible one, and are you still playing that role today?
-
Do you struggle to trust people, set boundaries, or ask for what you need, even when you know you deserve it?
-
Does part of you feel like you're still waiting for someone to finally show up and make things okay?
Reparenting and inner child work is not about blaming your parents or trying to change those childhood experiences that have a lasting influence. This work is about understanding the roots of many of the struggles that we can experience in adult life in relationships, self-worth, emotional regulation, and identity.
​
My approaches help reconnect with younger parts of yourself that may be carrying pain, shame, fear, or unmet needs. Together, we explore where those parts came from, what they've been trying to protect you from, and how you can begin to offer them something they need: safety, compassion, and a voice.
​
Inner child work is some of the most meaningful work a person can do. It helps create a deep, felt understanding of oneself that translates into all aspects of life in a positive way.
