Meet the Counsellor
Hi, I’m Sydney.
I am a Registered Professional Counsellor Candidate (#4747) in good standing with the Canadian Professional Counselling Association.
My background in wellness, energy healing, somatic therapy, expressive arts and unique life experiences all come together to inform my client centered, compassion based, holistic counselling practice.
My passion for traumatic brain injury and concussion support is rooted in my own personal experience. A few years back, I was hit by a car and experienced a severe concussion for the first time. It was an incredibly confusing, painful, and grief filled recovery journey. Finding adequate information and support was a massive challenge, and it was the catalyst to the career I’ve chosen today. I am committed to keeping up with the latest concussion research, exploring new and old modalities of support, and following the lead of the needs of my clients.
Outside of the counselling room, you can find me connecting with nature, creating art, baking delicious treats, and nurturing relationships with friends and family.
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 little successes.
