Female Therapists in Newfoundland and Labrador

Lesley has spent the last 18 years working with adults and children in a number of capacities including counselling, social development and child behavioral modification.

As a social worker for nearly 15 years, I have had the privilege to work alongside children, adolescents and their families in both government and community settings. Through this work, I have learned the significance of relationship and connection and hold these values closely. I practice from a trauma informed, strengths based approach and am passionate about supporting children and their families. I have experience working with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, emotional relation, grief and loss, self-esteem, relationship struggles and parenting challenges.

Each client has a story that has brought them to counseling. As individualized as client issues are; whether grief, trauma, conflict or any situation I believe people need and want to be heard. Discovering insight; an understanding and awareness of the situation is the foundation to moving forward in some capacity. Counselling provides the space and attentive listening to begin this process and to set goals to living one’s best life.

Reset your Mind and Reset your Life! I believe in the power of our own mind. Therapy should span the Physical, Energetic, Emotional, and Spiritual aspects of our human experience. It is NOT a linear or concrete process. It involves bridging the mind/body/soul and the physical world we live in. I combine Hypnosis, NLP, Counseling techniques, Energy healing in my treatment plans. I help you learn to tap into your own authentic, intuitive self and HEAL and connect within yourself, with others and the Universe. My Master of Science degree in Clinical Counseling (20 years+), work as a Hypnotherapist, Mental Health Counselor,

Have you ever driven home from work and ended up in the drive way with no idea how you got there? Thinking the same thoughts over and over and not been able to get to sleep? Reacted by saying things you wish you hadn’t? Yep, we’ve all been there. Through learning evidence-based mindfulness exercises, my clients learn how to re-wire their brains, change their inner dialogue, and create more space in their lives. Mindfulness training can be therapeutic, however it differs from therapy; we learn how to let go of our usual thinking, story-telling, and analyzing modes by exploring what is actually here right now.

My ideal client is someone who is motivated. Someone who is willing to take steps to make changes. Whether they are willing to learn some skills to help with their anxiety, depression, stress etc. or whether they are learning to manage difficult situations. I enjoy working with people who are willing to take what we learn in session and apply it to their life. I love working with people of different backgrounds and different needs.

Hi, I'm Ashley (she/her) and I'm a clinical social worker and therapist, offering virtual and in-person counselling sessions for adults and couples.

I lead with a client-centered trauma-informed approach. I believe you are the master of your life however sometimes you may need support to help move you through a "stuck" situation. Together we can explore the questions you are unable to answer and find a way "through," while moving toward a happier and calmer present and future.

Life has its ups and downs. Often we can find ways to cope, and even grow, riding out those waves. But most of us also have times when it all just seems too much; we cannot see a clear path ahead. That's when having the support of someone who listens without judgement and is fully present can be immensely helpful. That is the essence my counselling approach. My aim, in the time we spend together, is to help you discover and reconnect with your inner resources, as well as gain some new tools and create a viable plan to help you move from simply surviving to thriving.

Are you worried about your child's mental health? It can feel overwhelming not knowing how to support your child in times of distress. Physical, emotional, and social changes can make children more vulnerable to mental health issues. This stage is a crucial period for developing habits important for mental well-being. Issues I can help with include trauma, life stressors, grief/loss, self harm, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, behaviour challenges, body image and other mental health concerns.

There are so many experiences in life that can make us lose touch with ourselves. You may feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders and you’re unable to relax or let go. If you've had to be the one keeping it together and supporting other people, you may be here because you feel like you're just treading water with no direction or sense of safety. Therapy can be a place for you to finally let those walls down, let go of the burden to be "the strong one" and reconnect with yourself.
