I help clients achieve their goals by introducing practical strategies and skills while simultaneously working through the causes of issues. This may involve re-evaluating your thinking, improving your understanding of your emotions, finding life-direction, resolving internal conflicts, or making peace with past experiences. Everyone’s needs are different, so I will work with you to create a personalized treatment approach.

At Family Counselling Centres, we have abandoned the one-size-fits-all approach to mental health and wellness. We recognize that each case is acutely different than the next, which is why we believe in holistic wellness; an approach that considers the whole person. We also utilize the latest research in brain development and mental health methodology.

Our therapists provide a non-judgemental, safe, accepting and supportive presence. We understand that there continues to be stigma associated with mental health and accessing services. Our therapists are advocates for prioritizing mental health and we value a preventative approach.

Accepting NEW Clients (Individuals and Couples) – Are you feeling “stuck” in life and you’re looking for a way to better understand the steps forward? Have you heard of EMDR and you want to learn more about working through trauma and its impacts on your life? Is anxiety, stress, or low mood something you want to explore and learn strategies to cope differently? Are you a couple looking to work through infidelity, sexuality, or just simply want the skills to better communicate and understand each other?

I work with individuals and couples, where I also consider the impact of trauma and culture in the issues you’re looking to be supported with.

My own practice is focussed on working with men and professional pilots. I spent over 20 years as a professional pilot, from air ambulance to airline, and I have developed a strong ability to assess risk.

My training included a sound academic base and focussed on the soft skills of professional counselling such as listening and attending, making sure a client is seen and heard. I continue taking further training, particularly in areas that have evidence of being effective in treating trauma, PTSD and C-PTSD. My approach is client centered, trauma informed  and can include the modalities of EMDR, narative therapy, CBT, REBT, parts work (IFS), and somatic elements.

Hi, I’m Sylvia and I’m so glad you’re here! I believe at some point or another, we’ve all experienced something that has changed our life. That’s why it’s important within my practice to develop a space where you feel safe and supported. I want to create a strong therapeutic alliance, one where you have a voice and a place to be your true, authentic self. Everyone has the capacity to be resilient and I want our sessions to foster this inner strength. Our time together is ultimately your time. Since effective therapy doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach, I offer cognitive-behavioural therapy, DBT, EMDR, ART, narrative therapy, sand tray therapy and much more according to your needs.

In my practice, I support clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, ​grief, stress, trauma, ADHD, and exhaustion. Life can be hard sometimes and my clients often tell me that they have so much going on in their lives that they’re struggling to manage their emotions. Many of my clients identify themselves as being helpers, healers, caregivers, entrepreneurs, advocates, and empaths and are having a hard time finding balance in their lives. If you’re tired of managing alone and want to find some peace or clarity in your life, or simply want to feel better emotionally, you’ve come to the right place.
