Practice information:

Kathryn believes that counselling is a collaborative process between the client(s) and their counsellor, and treats the relationship as a partnership. She uses a strengths-based and solution-focused approach to help her clients move toward their goals. She helps clients learn and practice techniques to change unhelpful thought patterns, regulate their emotions, and cope more effectively with challenges. Kathryn also assists clients to improve their communication, boundary setting, and conflict resolution skills.

Kathryn has over 15 years of counselling experience. She enjoys working with clients on anxiety management, stress management, personal growth, identity exploration, goal setting, relationships, career issues, and life transitions. She has a special interest in supporting clients who are feeling ambivalent or uncertain about their relationship, and those who are going through a separation or divorce. She practices from an anti-oppressive and trauma informed lens, and welcomes clients of all races, sexual orientations, and gender identities/expressions.

Kathryn has advanced training and extensive experience supporting clients with diagnosed and suspected ADHD and their partners. She holds an ADHD - Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP) designation to showcase this area of her practice.
