Vanessa Gear
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Is your child or teen feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, school challenges, or difficulty managing big emotions? Perhaps learning differences, neurodivergence, family conflict, or life transitions are creating stress at home or school. I work with children, teens, adults, and families who want a supportive space to better understand these challenges. Together, we focus on building emotional regulation, confidence, coping skills, and stronger relationships so clients feel more capable, understood, and supported in their daily lives.
I specialize in supporting children, teens, and families navigating ADHD, autism (ASD), anxiety, school issues, learning challenges, and life transitions. Using CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and experiential approaches, including play-based techniques, I help clients strengthen emotional regulation, build coping skills, and develop greater confidence and resilience
Behind every behaviour is a story waiting to be heard. If you or your child feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck, therapy can provide a supportive space to slow down and make sense of what’s happening. Together we’ll explore strengths, build practical tools, and create meaningful change so you can move forward with greater confidence and connection.

Counsellor/Therapist, RP(Q), CCPA, LLM
You are looking for help and you need someone who uses effective, person-centered and science-backed strategies to address issues you are having. Someone who gives you the space you need in your imperfections and struggles and walks, collaboratively with you, to unpack the processes that got you where you are today and kept you stuck in the same issues. I am the one. I use your strengths, resources and skills you have (or learn alongside) to get to your best hopes. I embody the conviction that you are unique and you need tailored interventions that speak to your lived reality. Sometimes we are so much stuck in our distorted reality and we need someone to help us gain insight and a different perspective. To guide us in our journey towards discovering behaviours and thinking patterns that may have been useful in the past, but no longer serving us today . I am transparent, use collaboration and believe in your ability to own and work for the change that aligns with your framework and values. It is only when we unpack what has been happening, what has maintained the circle and accept ourselves in our maladaptive realities that we can change.
I operate from a strengths-based, schemas focused and CBT perspectives. I am all into precision and measurement of progress both in our working alliance and in the interventions I use. I give and facilitate hope while supporting you to find inner resources and ways to autonomously use them to get where you want to be. Call or email me today for a free 15minutes consultation.
