Individual Support
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), and I have a Master's degree in counselling psychology. I retired as an acupuncturist after over 14 years in practice. I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds and identities who face various forms of oppression, racism and those who struggle with family dynamics. Hence I know how important it is to ground any therapeutic work in an understanding of how systems impact our daily lives.
Over the years, I have helped clients dealing with many complex lived experiences, including anxiety, depression, personal and collective grief, loss, fertility issues, challenging family dynamics, low self-esteem and self-worth and existential concerns. I have also supported people searching for a purpose in their lives.
Other areas I have experience in include:
Family of origin issues
Depression, Anxiety and feeling Overwhelmed
Relationship breakdown
Loneliness and social isolation
Climate and ecological grief
Spiritual bereftness
and more…
“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”
“Patricia is a gifted therapist with a warm, compassionate, and supportive presence that has made me feel so safe.”
She is attentive and has allowed me to feel truly seen and heard. Her kindness is a balm in an increasingly stressful world. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
