Empowering You to Heal and Grow
Guiding You Toward Healing and Growth
Welcome to Mind Up Counselling where a multifaceted approach is used to meet you where you’re at. Whether that is working independently, working one-on-one with me or working in a group setting. Wherever you are in your journey to better understanding yourself, we’ve come to the right place to be supported.
I am a Kingston based therapist who focuses on how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) affect your life in adulthood.
My approach to therapy begins with building rapport. Clients appreciate my kind curiosity, gentle challenging, and genuine support for their past and current self. I am trauma trained therapist and use a trauma-informed approach in my therapy practice.
Trauma isn’t always something that happened to you, it can also be things that should have happened that didn’t
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) refer to potentially traumatic events experienced by children before the age of 18, such as abuse, neglect or household dysfunction. You can find the ACEs quiz on the ACEs page of this website. It is important to note, the quiz does not include factors such as racism, housing instability, community violence, COVID-19 or natural disasters, nor does it account for the presence of supportive adults or the development of resilience.
Every child responds differently to hardship, and a high ACE score doesn’t necessarily predict future emotional or physical health issues. The score is simply information to better understand yourself.
Therapeutic Approach
At Mind Up Counselling, my goal is to help you uncover the thoughts, patterns, and behaviors that may be holding you back, while empowering you to make meaningful changes in your life. I use a combination of evidence-based practices tailored to your individual needs, with a focus on creating a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment.
After having a complimentary 15-minute conversation over the phone or virtually with myself, if you feel as though you would like to book a session, you can head to the booking page, complete the intake form, and we can hit the ground running during our first session.
