About Me

Hi there!

I’m Rachel Robertson, I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling and my C.C.C. designation with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. I have the privilege of working with individuals 12 and up, as well as couples and families.

Creating a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients is my top priority. I know that starting therapy can be intimidating and so I work to create a space for you to feel comfortable showing up as your whole self, knowing you'll be seen and cared for.

I have experience supporting clients in a variety of areas including, anxiety, developmental and relational trauma, self-esteem and body image, life transitions, parenting, relationships, ADHD, and grief.

My Approach

I respect each person’s unique experiences and expertise on themselves, and work collaboratively to tailor the therapeutic process to fit individual needs and preferences.

My approach is trauma-informed and integrative, drawing on techniques from Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy, among others.

I incorporate body-based strategies into my work because I recognize that the brain is an integral part of the body. Our physical experiences and sensations can profoundly impact our emotional and mental well-being. By integrating techniques like mindfulness, breathwork, and somatic exercises, I help clients become more attuned to their bodies and the messages they convey.
