Who We Are

Counselling Practice

Welcome. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with experience across a wide variety of issues and age groups ranging from adolescents to mature adults. My personal life experience as well as my education in counselling and business informs my practice and approach with clients which is eclectic, empathetic, pragmatic and compassionate. I am also a lifelong learner who is endlessly curious about life and the human experience. I believe it is a privilege to accompany clients along their journey and support them as they explore who they are and who they want to be.

Treatment Focus

As a client, my focus is you. Psychotherapy is meant to be a mutually collaborative endeavor based upon a strong therapeutic relationship. The expert in your life, your challenges, and potential solutions is you. Your goals determine the focus of treatment and with support and assistance from your therapist, we work together to meet them.

Our Patient Promise

I promise to be there for you every step of your journey. My goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life.

About Charlotte

Why did you choose psychotherapy as a career?

As an undergraduate student in Psychology, I was always interested in how our experiences shaped who we become. I graduated and entered the corporate world and management but despite my 25 years working felt a draw to return to my desire to work with others in a more supportive and empathetic capacity. COVID-19 occurred and many struggled with coping with everyday challenges and their mental health; it was a clear message that there was a need for psychotherapists prompting me to return to school to meet at least a small part of that need. It has allowed me to work with a sense of purpose; aligned with my authentic self.

What types of client do you work with?

I work with a wide variety of clients including adults couples, families and youth. My approach and life experience grant me the opportunity to uniquely support my clients as they face challenges in work, life, marriage and parenthood. These can include depression, anxiety, grief, interpersonal difficulties and trauma.

I am informed in and able to support working with more extreme challenges including the processing and healing of trauma. This may be trauma a client has carried since childhood or a result of more recent events. Trauma and its aftermath is very difficult for clients to face and as a survivor I find I am able to uniquely support and understand how truly challenging and all consuming this can be.

In addition to working with adults I am sincerely drawn to supporting adolescents and emerging adults. Some counsellors find this group a challenge but having two young adult children of my own, I possess a clear affinity for these individuals and their unique challenges. This generation of youth is experiencing a world that, at times, barely resembles that of previous generations and it is a privilege to support them as they navigate this complex world and their relationship with it. As parents, it can also be difficult knowing how to best support our children. I am able to support parents as well.
