About the Counsellor

Sydney Low

I’m Sydney, a counselor, respite care worker, and artist who blends creativity, feminism, and anticapitalism into a compassionate, accessible approach to therapy. I support neurodivergent and disabled folks, as well as anyone navigating trauma or brain injury, through nonverbal and creative practices—like clay, art, movement, and sensory exploration—helping you find healing that feels soft, authentic, and possible.

About Sydney>

How We Work Together

I offer somatic and creative techniques like clay play, art, movement, and guided sensory exploration to support emotional processing, nervous system regulation, and self-expression. Therapy is adapted to your pace, needs, and comfort level, so healing is possible in ways that feel natural to you.

How my approach differs from traditional talk therapies

Traditional psychotherapy…

-often follows a set model

- prioritizes functionality and productivity

- can pathologize differences

- focuses narrowly on symptoms

- positions the therapist as the expert

- can feel clinical or detached

My approach…

- flexible, creative, and shaped by each persons needs

- honours rest, softness, and healing at your own pace, outside of capitalistic pressure

- affirms neurodivergence and disability as a valid way of being

- acknowledges the broader systems (patriarchy, capitalism, ableism) that impact well-being

- centres collaboration, shared wisdom, and client agency

- emphasizes compassion, creativity, and authentic human connection

 My Values

  • I believe in using creative and artistic techniques to move through your unique process. There is no cookie cutter way through the recovery journey, and each session may look wildly different from the next.

  • Emotional, physical, and spiritual boundaries are paramount to the recovery process. I respect your personal boundaries, as well as hold my own professional boundaries as a counsellor.

  • I offer different resources and ways to work together at different pay grades in order to make healing and recovery more accessible.

  • I am here to support you in showing up as your full self, by showing up as my full self each and every day. With me, you can expect silly jokes, honest reflections, and genuine excitement for all your successes.
