Hello you, I’m Charmaine and I’m here to listen.
 

“You are allowed to be both a masterpiece
and a work in progress, simultaneously.”
― Sophia Bush
 

I have been really fortunate to cross paths and work with my clients; all of whom have inspired me to continue doing this work and become a better human being to support other human beings.
 
My approach to counselling is an eclectic and trauma-informed approach that encompasses the past, present and future. I firmly believe that a lot of our past influences our present motivations and behaviours, and my goal is to empower my clients to heal from their past, embrace their present and work towards a future that feels right for them. Some of the modalities that I draw from include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), but I thoroughly enjoy learning and am always on the lookout for more tools and knowledge that I hope to impart on my clients! 
 
If it’s your first time trying and entering into therapy, I understand how nerve-racking it can be. I also believe in finding the right fit; and sometimes it doesn’t always work out–and that’s okay. I encourage you to go into therapy with an open heart and mind, and feel free to ask me any questions along the way.
 

I can work with you to:
* Learn to manage big emotions and self-regulate; 
* Get to know yourself better;
* Overcome self-sabotaging behaviours;
* Heal from guilt and shame;
* Build your self-esteem;
* Explore and move towards a meaningful life based on your core values; or
* Break down relational/attachment issues and work on communication barriers with loved ones. 
 

Interests
I have particular interests in supporting people with attachment wounds and those who have experienced childhood trauma to move towards healing and empowerment.
