Kathryn Pybus

Hi, I'm Kathryn. I work with perfectionists, people-pleasers, and anyone tired of being “the reliable one.” Some arrive after betrayal or loss, others in the middle of a life transition, or carrying anxiety, overwhelm, or a painful relationship with food and body. Almost all of them look like they have it together while quietly running on empty.

Registered Clinical Counsellor (#14856) and Professional Canadian Art Therapist, I blend somatic work, CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and expressive arts, and bring lived experience alongside clinical training.

Issues I often work with include:

• People-pleasing, fawning, and perfectionism
• Self-worth and relationship repair after betrayal or loss
• Identity, belonging, and life transitions
• Anxiety and low mood
• Creative blocks
• A difficult relationship with food and body

EMDR & Trauma Recovery 

Trauma can change how we feel, think, and relate to ourselves and others. EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that helps your brain process distressing memories safely, so they lose their hold on your present.

I use EMDR at a pace that feels manageable, alongside grounding, emotional regulation, and self-compassion tools, to help you reclaim your present and feel more whole.

If the above resonates, feel free to reach out for a complimentary 15-minute phone or video consultation to assess whether we're a good fit and to see how I can help.
