Emily has always been deeply curious about the human experience and finds genuine meaning in thoughtful conversations and authentic connection. She is currently a student counsellor, nearing the end of her second year in the Professional Counselling Diploma program at Rhodes Wellness College.
In her work, Emily brings a calm, grounded presence and supports clients at a pace that feels both gentle and transformative. Her approach is rooted in an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and humanistic framework, with a focus on nervous system regulation, healthy boundaries, and cultivating self-trust and self-efficacy—supporting individuals in moving toward lives that feel more aligned and fulfilling in their own unique way.
Emily draws from foundational training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, and somatic therapy. She also has training in trauma and crisis intervention, as well as non-violent communication.
