A bit about me and how I work…

Hi there, I’m Robyn (she/her).

Whether it is struggles with pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, anxiety, depression, or trauma, I support individuals with identifying what they want to be different in their life and co-creating a plan for our work together. As a counsellor, it is a privilege to support clients in their journeys to find more joy, feel less overwhelmed by difficult emotions, improve relationships, and feel more compassion for themselves

With a strong belief in the value of human connection, I dedicate great care and attention in developing relationships with my clients based on respect and trust. Recognizing the courage it can take for people to come to counselling, I work from a person-centered approach to help my clients feel heard, and ultimately, empowered to work toward their goals. 

I feel honoured to work alongside clients through their personal journeys of self-discovery and growth, working collaboratively with clients to explore their values and how to foster these into a meaningful life.

On a more personal level…I am a parent. I love cooking, and generally all things food related. Things that bring me joy: a good book (with a good cup of tea), laughter shared with friends and family, or a walk through the woods. I am someone that has experienced my own mental health struggles, and I’m also someone that has found going to counselling hard!
