Feel Better, One Step at a Time
Mindful, personalized counselling and holistic support designed to help you reconnect with yourself and feel grounded again.
About Me
Hi, I’m Gillian—a registered social worker, certified hypnotherapist, and author. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who feel stuck in long-standing emotional, relational, or behavioural patterns. Many of my clients are deeply self-aware, yet continue to struggle despite having insight and using talk therapy alone.
An Integrative, Mind-Body Approach
My work bridges clinical social work and psychotherapy with holistic somatic healing. Recognizing that stress, trauma, and emotion are held within both the mind and the physical body, I weave together traditional talk therapy, nervous system regulation, subconscious processing, and sensory grounding. Every session is collaborative, non-judgmental, and tailored to your unique comfort level and goals.
