About Courtney
Since a young age, I always knew I wanted to help people. As I grew up and went through my
own hardships, the field of counselling became more intriguing every day. Learning about the
brain was something I was drawn to since high school, as it plays a critical role in human life and
mental health. I have been in the field of mental health and counselling for about 7+ years and
primarily work with children, youth, and young adults.
It takes a lot of courage to start counselling and by providing a safe, open, and stable place to
start this journey, is an imperative part of my practice. Another focus of mine is to ensure
support, guidance, and empowerment to the clients I work with. Being able to work alongside
clients and watch their progress/growth, is such a rewarding experience. I believe that it is
important for a counselor to respect the client’s autonomy and to work collaboratively with
them, throughout the counselling journey.
During the therapeutic process, showing compassion, empathy, honesty, active listening,
flexibility and a judgement free zone, could guide a deeper connection and conversation to be
had. I strongly feel by meeting the clients where there at, finding out there needs, and adjusting
accordingly, can improve the overall outcome of counselling.

Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Narrative

Social Factors that contribute to clients.
