Practical, compassionate counselling for lasting change.
Trauma-informed counselling for adults experiencing trauma, substance-use concerns, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and insomnia.
Compassionate care with depth and direction.
My approach combines evidence-based intervention with warmth, curiosity, and genuine human connection. I draw primarily from trauma-informed Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, while adapting each session to the individual person in front of me.
We begin by addressing the symptoms and patterns having the greatest effect on your daily life. I also provide psychoeducation so you can understand the ‘why’ behind your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours—and participate actively in your own treatment from a place of agency, self-determination, and informed choice.
Therapy is collaborative and goal-oriented, but never impersonal. The aim is for you to leave each session with greater understanding, practical direction, and a meaningful sense of movement.
Hi, I’m Camille.
I work with adults navigating trauma, substance-use concerns, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and insomnia. My experience supporting men in residential addiction treatment has shaped an approach grounded in compassion, accountability, respect, and an understanding of how trauma and shame can affect the ways people cope.
I believe effective counselling requires more than applying techniques. It begins with listening carefully, understanding the full context of a person’s life, and building a therapeutic plan collaboratively. My goal is to help clients feel understood while also providing the information and practical support needed to create meaningful change.

My way of working: I offer a down-to-earth and collaborative space focused on what you need right now. We combine practical tools from CBT and lifestyle counselling with deeper emotional processing and nervous system work, using approaches like EMDR, somatic therapy, and Internal Family Systems (parts work). We will navigate your healing journey together, focusing on your specific goals and building a sense of internal safety.
Whether we are unpacking difficult emotions, identifying parts of yourself that feel stuck, or finding motivation for change, our sessions remain grounded and accessible. By integrating trauma-informed tools and body-based insights, we work to move beyond just talking, helping you find a real sense of balance and relief from the weight of trauma, substance use, or chronic stress.
