“Trauma is a part of life, however it doesn’t have to be a life sentence,” says trauma expert, Peter Levine. Trauma is often misunderstood to be solely about sexual abuse/assault. However, whenever we experience being overwhelmed without supportive people to help us, we have the potential of being traumatized. Ordinary life events such as a dental procedure, experiencing a fall, undergoing surgery, or even losing a tooth can be traumatizing. Counselling helps to renegotiate and resolve trauma bringing increased joy and vitality into daily life.

Sharron Carson
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
There are many different ways to experience trauma and there is no one way to cope with the impact of these events. Often it can feel like a secret that you are carrying with you throughout life, trying to put away somewhere because “going there” may not feel safe. At some point the weight can become too heavy to manage on your own. Just having the courage to seek help and make yourself vulnerable to difficult memories shows a great deal of strength which I respect. One of the things that often gets lost after a traumatic event is a sense of control over our life. In our sessions I want to assure you that you are in control of where we go and what we talk about. I will follow your lead. I have done more conversational trauma counselling and am also trained in EMDR which is a more structured and goal driven therapy. Which route we choose is your call. I invite you to reach out and book a free consultation if this sounds like something that would be helpful for you.

KDW Counselling & Consulting
Registered Psychotherapist, RP or RSW
Living through trauma can leave lasting effects—memories that intrude, a constant sense of alertness, or feeling shut down and disconnected. PTSD and other trauma responses aren’t signs of weakness; they’re the mind and body’s way of trying to cope with overwhelming experiences. In therapy, there’s space to work through these patterns at a pace that feels safe. Together, we focus on helping you regain a sense of stability, reduce the weight of the past, and move toward feeling more present and whole.

Melanie Wuytenburg
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Living through trauma can leave lasting effects—memories that intrude, a constant sense of alertness, or feeling shut down and disconnected. It's crucial to know that PTSD and other trauma responses aren’t signs of weakness; they are the mind and body’s way of trying to cope with overwhelming experiences.
I work with trauma, PTSD, and complex, developmental trauma (C-PTSD). I approach this work with sensitivity, recognizing the profound impact these experiences have on your mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Because there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to healing trauma, my work is built upon robust trauma frameworks. I offer specialized, evidence-based modalities including:
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR)
In therapy, there’s space to work through these patterns at a pace that feels safe. Together, we focus on helping you regain a sense of stability, reduce the weight of the past, and move toward feeling more present and whole. My goal is to empower you to reclaim your fundamental sense of safety, agency, and vitality.

Caroline Lacelle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
My treatment approach follows the three phases of trauma treatment; resourcing, reprocessing, and reorienting. Together we will determine the resources you may need to tap into a grounded sense of self through somatic practices and parts work. Deep Brain Reorienting, EMDR, and ART guide reprocessing to shift past experiences into the past so you can reorient and engage fully in the present.

London, Ontario is home to Western University and one of Canada's leading teaching hospitals — London Health Sciences Centre — which together make it a significant hub for medical education and mental health training, feeding a well-developed private practice community. The city's large student population, combined with a substantial healthcare and professional workforce, drives consistent demand for therapists working with academic stress, young adult identity, and the pressures of high-achieving careers. London's growing immigrant community — including large South Asian, Middle Eastern, and African populations — is increasing demand for culturally informed and multilingual therapists. The city's relatively affordable cost of living compared to Toronto and Hamilton makes private therapy accessible to a broader cross-section of the population.
