As an Integrative Therapist I work applying numerous methodologies including:
"The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are" (Joseph Campbell: Reflections on the Art of Living, Jungian Carl Jung).
I provide individual counselling sessions for adults 18+ to help them explore their relationship with self and others. Through open and respectful Communication, Empathy, Compassion and Exploration, clients explore past and present experiences. To help gain a clearer perspective on the impacts and challenges such experiences present in their life; working towards a future where they (you) are better equipped to navigate them
I offer counselling sessions for teenagers 13-17 who are dealing with various issues, such as anxiety, depression, bullying, school refusal, self-harm.
Couple counselling sessions are designed to help couples improve their communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen their relationship.
I provide family therapy to help families of all ages, sizes and backgrounds improve their relational connections, communication skills, build trust, and work towards creating positive change and a healthy and supportive family dynamic.
I offer group coaching and mentoring sessions to help individuals work collectively as part of a team with the aim of developing healthier communication skills and better coping skills.
I offer anger management sessions for individuals who are struggling with controlling their anger and want to develop better coping skills.
I provide grief counselling sessions to help individuals and families cope with the loss of a loved one and navigate the grieving process.
I offer stress management sessions for individuals who are dealing with stress and want to learn effective stress-reduction techniques.
We actually reached out to Cece to help us navigate our divorce and help us better communicate for ourselves and our teenage children. Cece created a space where we laughed, cried, hugged and reconnected as friends. We can not thank Cece enough and would recommend them as a relational counsellor.
Thank you for all of your support.
Forever grateful
Tobias and Andretta.
I sought the help of a counsellor to help me better understand the impact of my family's negative response to me coming out as a Lesbian. Wow what a journey... Cece helped me explore my relationship with myself, my internal dialogue and shame of others. I explored and connected to a negative narrative of myself, one that I had unintentio
I sought the help of a counsellor to help me better understand the impact of my family's negative response to me coming out as a Lesbian. Wow what a journey... Cece helped me explore my relationship with myself, my internal dialogue and shame of others. I explored and connected to a negative narrative of myself, one that I had unintentionally been holding for years. Cece provided me with a space where I was genuinely heard and seen. A space where I was messy and became curious. Curiosity that will remain with me forever.
If you are considering reaching out to Cece just do it, do not hesitate.
You are a true gem Cece. Thank you!!!!!!!!

Our son worked with Cece due to school refusal. After a few weeks of hesitancy we, as a family noticed a positive shift. Our son would come home from sessions and actually choose to share things with us (anyone with teenagers knows this is a rarity).
Cece really cared and supported our son, with no judgement and a lot of patience. Our son
