Accepting NEW Clients (Individuals and Couples) - Are you feeling "stuck" in life and you're looking for a way to better understand the steps forward? Have you heard of EMDR and you want to learn more about working through trauma and it is has had on your life, and how you show up in the world and with others? Is anxiety, stress, or low mood something you want to explore and learn strategies to cope differently? Are you a couple looking to work through infidelity, sexuality, or just simply want the skills to better communicate and understand each other?
I'm looking forward to taking my experience and education and working with you to apply it to the outcomes you're looking for. I can help create a framework to process trauma, navigate anxiety, or feel more satisfied in your relationship, and hopefully take the guesswork out of what that looks like.

I work in a collaborative way - we work together to find you meanings and help you understand what is going on for you. I specialize in trauma, helping you build self-esteem, grief, chronic pain, anxiety and depression. If you seek a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your past, present and future then I would love to help you start to feel better.

Lorna Barnes, Oak Tree Counselling
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CT, CPC
I find clients are looking to understand themselves, to find reasons they struggle the way they do, and discover how they got where they are. We've all been influenced by our experiences, whether good or bad. Good healthy experiences give us the tools and confidence to navigate life, but what happens when our experiences have been far from good? A child experiencing abuse, trauma, loss, and neglect believes they deserve it or it's their fault, not knowing the adults in their lives are responsible to help them feel secure and confident. Negative childhood experiences often throw individuals into feeling too much responsibility, becoming people pleasers, carrying much shame and guilt, feeling like a burden, social awkwardness, experiencing cognitive distortions, depression, addictions, loss of identity, anxiety and panic disorders, inter-relational problems, lack of confidence, and a lack of boundaries. Clients need to know they're not to blame and there's hope to experience a healthier and purposeful life, the life they were meant to have. Clients need to know they belong, they matter and are not a mistake. If you want to find freedom, purpose, contentment, and healing schedule a 30 minute free consultation to explore whether we'd be a good fit to journey together to a better you.

Meredith Mpinga
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CPC
If you're feeling overwhelmed, confused by your closest relationships, or affected by difficult experiences from your past, you don't have to keep pushing through all on your own.
Perhaps you don't recognise the person you've become. Or maybe the ways you've coped before just aren't working any more.
That's why I'm here; I'd be honoured to come alongside you and create the space to process the challenges you're facing, together.

Kristen Bailey Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Masters of Arts Counselling Psychology
Reaching out for support shows you are already aware that you are in some form of pain and you want to do something different. Your relationships may be struggling, you may feel disconnected, you may be experiencing thoughts and feelings that are feeling unmanageable or living in a state of shame. Over my time as a therapist (and in going through my own journey) I have seen how that what brings people toward truly feeling better is learning to be more self compassionate, building acceptance of their own story and how it has affected their life and developing a more peaceful relationship with the thoughts and feelings that they experience.
I am passionate about helping folks build a better relationship with themselves, which ultimately leads to better relationships with others and have witnessed and experienced how therapy really supports us with this.
