My Journey to Psychotherapy

Compassionate, professional care rooted in experience and dedication

Hi, I’m Fiona, a clinically trained psychotherapist with a passion for supporting individuals and couples on their journey to growth, healing, and resilience.

​

Along with my 3 years of practicing psychotherapy, I also bring 18 years of teaching experience in the education sector. Supporting youth and adults through critical developmental stages deepened my understanding of human growth, resilience, and the impact of compassionate guidance. This foundation naturally led me to pursue a career in psychotherapy, where I could continue helping others navigate life’s challenges in a safe and supportive environment.

​

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor’s degree in Human Psychology, providing a strong theoretical and practical foundation in evidence-based therapeutic approaches. I am a registered psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and a certified Prepare/Enrich facilitator, specializing in helping couples build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.

​

As a practitioner, my approach is rooted in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings openly. I strive to provide compassionate, evidence-based support tailored to each individual or couple, fostering growth, healing, and connection.

 

Outside of my professional life, I am a proud mother of two (15 and 18 years old) and have been married for 19 years. These personal experiences enrich my empathy and understanding, allowing me to relate to the challenges and joys my clients may face in their own lives. I look forward to journeying with you as you choose to put yourself and your needs first through engaging in the counselling process.

 

Fun Facts about me…

I’m originally from the UK, left-handed, I love sweet treats, and I’m always looking for an opportunity to go to the spa.
