Kayla Schofield
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Therapy can be the stepping stone one needs to get over life hurdles. I meet clients where they are at and encourage each individual to get curious with their lives. Dig up the patterns and beliefs that are no longer working for them and decide what to do about it. I work with all people who present with many different issues . Let's set up a free consultation and go from there.

Welcome! At North Star Therapy, empathy and understanding is central to our practice. We know reaching out for help is a courageous step, and we approach every client with respect, compassion, and an open mind. We strive to create a non-judgmental environment where you will feel heard and validated, fostering a sense of trust that is essential for the therapeutic journey. We are dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space where you can explore, understand, and navigate the complexities of your life and work towards meaningful change. We are here to help. Let's talk about how to get started living the life you want.
Our clients bring a range of concerns to therapy, including relationship issues, parenting, sexual and gender identity, trauma, grief, anger, depression, anxiety, racism and other inequalities, intergenerational trauma, body image, work/career goals, feeling "stuck," and finding meaning in life. If any of these concerns feel familiar, or if you have any other issues you'd like to unpack, don't hesitate to reach out. We look forward to exploring how we might work together.

Ferzana Jamani
Counsellor/Therapist, BA, RTC
I want you to know me beyond my credentials. I grew up feeling invisible and inadequate, struggling with anxiety and low mood, and limiting beliefs that tainted my relationships. It took volunteering and self-reflection to recognize my own worth and seek help. It was a journey of healing for me too, as I confronted my insecurities and found connection and purpose and my dedication in serving others. Now, as a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, I’m committed to guiding you with care and compassion. Therapy with me consists of transpersonal and somatic techniques focusing on your growth, emotional experiences and connecting your body and mind. Together we will explore your inner emotional experiences to help you repair the pain you have experienced and support you in feeling seen, heard and ultimately thrive, honouring your pace and vulnerabilities every step of the way.
I offer personalized sessions to address your unique needs, fostering insight and resilience. In a safe and supportive space, I provide active listening and empathy to build trust. Equipping you with tools for stress management, communication, and self-esteem, we navigate challenges together. Taking the first step toward therapy can be transformative; I invite you to schedule a FREE introductory consultation. Let’s unlock your potential and create positive change, empowering you to embrace the life you deserve.

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.
