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.

Kaylei Murray
Registered Psychotherapist, CRPO, ACTA
Reconnection is at the heart of my work.
Many of the individuals and couples I support are thoughtful, capable, and high-functioning, yet find themselves feeling disconnected, whether from themselves or within their relationships. Often, this disconnection doesn’t happen all at once. It develops gradually through patterns that once served a purpose, but over time begin to create distance, pressure, or uncertainty.
My approach to therapy is grounded, relational, and attachment-informed. I focus on helping clients understand the underlying patterns shaping their thoughts, emotions, and interactions, not to assign blame, but to create clarity. This includes exploring what is being said, as well as what may be harder to access or express.
I aim to create a space that feels both safe and engaged. Alongside attunement and support, I offer gentle challenge to help clients move beyond familiar patterns and toward more intentional ways of relating. In our work together, we slow things down. We make sense of emotional responses, attachment dynamics, and survival strategies, so that change feels meaningful and sustainable, rather than forced Whether you are seeking individual support or navigating challenges within your relationship, therapy can be a space to reconnect, rebuild trust, and move forward with greater awareness.

Rhoda Lalog
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Therapy can be a space to slow down and understand what’s happening beneath the surface. I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, grief, life transitions, relationships, identity, and belonging. Many of the people I support are thoughtful, capable people who appear to be managing well but feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or exhausted inside.
You may find yourself carrying a lot, being hard on yourself, struggling to set boundaries, or wondering why familiar patterns keep showing up despite how much you understand about yourself.
My approach is compassionate and curious. Rather than seeing these experiences as something that needs to be fixed, therapy can help us understand what is happening within you and create more space for choice, balance, and a different relationship with yourself.
Culture, family, identity, and lived experience are also welcome in our work together. You do not have to separate these parts of your experience from what brings you to therapy.

Manisha Grewal
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (Hons), MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Do you tend to replay past events in your mind over and over, and spiral into worries about the future? Do you struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, or relationships, causing you to "overgive" to others while abandoning your own needs? Many people describe feeling like they’re moving through life on autopilot — weighed down by overthinking, low mood, or the pressure to keep everyone else happy. You might notice people-pleasing tendencies, difficulty maintaining boundaries, or a pattern of overgiving that leaves you drained, ungrounded, and disconnected from yourself. Here, you’ll find a warm, calm space where your feelings are validated and your voice genuinely matters. Together, we’ll engage in meaningful, deep processing work, explore what's fuelling your distress, and gently uncover the deeper experiences and patterns shaping your emotional world. Alongside this, we’ll build practical tools to regulate your nervous system and ease your symptoms in the present, helping you reconnect with a more empowered, resilient, and self-aware version of yourself. I bring the richness of three cultures, four languages, and the lived experience of being both a first- and third-generation immigrant. My background in the medical field also allows me to integrate physiological and psychological insight. These parts of who I am allow me to deeply empathize with the immigrant journey across generations, as well as the ways culture, family expectations, and identity can shape mental health. No matter your background or story, I aim to meet you with genuine understanding, respect, and compassion. I am a proud ally to LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC communities and offer inclusive, compassionate care for all backgrounds and lived experiences. If what I’ve shared resonates, we may be a good fit. If you're curious about working together, let's start with a free, no-pressure 30-min video consultation, where we can connect and chat in a calm, relaxed space.

Kate Hollowell Sheldon
Psychologist, MC, R.Psych.
I have ten years of experience working with a wide variety of people and I have worked with a variety of mental health concerns in community and clinical settings. I am a trained forensic and clinical psychologist and I have a passion for working with trauma, grief, and sexual or narcissistic abuse recovery. My approach to counselling is accessible and laidback. I do not work from a manual which can come across as inauthentic and stuffy. I enjoy walking alongside my clients when they are struggling and sharing a laugh and celebrating their victories. I take the time to get to know the person(s) sitting in my office to understand what therapeutic approach may work best and work with that person to help them implement and maintain meaningful change.
