Jessica Holyoak
SaveHello, I’m glad you’re here! My name is Jessica (she/her) and I’m a practicum student in the final year of my Master of Counselling program.
My path to becoming a counsellor is rooted in a deep appreciation for human connection and the unique stories that shape our lives. In previous roles, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside newcomers to Canada, leading children in nature-based programs, and supporting people navigating life-altering physical and mental health conditions. These experiences have strengthened my understanding of life’s unpredictable and often contradictory nature – how it can be both beautiful and painful, sometimes all at once. If you’re finding things hard right now, I want you to know you’re not alone, and reaching out for support is one of the most natural and deeply human things we can do.

In our work together, my intention is to create a safe, accepting, collaborative space where you can explore your experiences with honesty, curiosity, and compassion. As you reconnect with your core values, sense of purpose, and authentic self, my hope is that you’ll uncover strengths, insights, and resources that may have been overlooked or forgotten in the face of life’s challenges – tools that can help you navigate life’s complexity with greater clarity and resilience.
My approach is grounded in person-centred values and supported by a systems and trauma-informed lens that honours the many contexts and experiences that shape who we are. I work one-on-one with adults, youth, and children who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief, identity shifts, and the lingering effects of past experiences. If this resonates with you, please reach out. I look forward to meeting you.
