Hello, I'm Robby
I’m a Registered Social Worker and Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner offering counselling for adults navigating trauma, anxiety, overwhelm, grief, relationship challenges and life transitions.
People often come to therapy knowing something isn’t working, but not necessarily knowing why. My work goes beyond talking about what happened. Together, we can notice the patterns, sensations and responses that keep showing up and create space for something different to emerge.
How I Show Up
I’m naturally curious, warm and down-to-earth. I notice patterns quickly, ask questions that can open up a different perspective, and stay interested in what’s happening beneath the obvious story.
I’m engaged in the work with you. I may reflect what I’m noticing, offer another way of looking at something, or suggest we try something more experiential when words don’t quite reach what’s happening.
I want therapy to feel like a place where you can be fully yourself, make sense of your experience, and find what feels meaningful and genuinely fits for you.
I’m committed to helping you feel more grounded, less overwhelmed, and more able to move through life with greater ease.
Somatic Experiencing® ~ We pay attention to what’s happening in the body, not just the story, to support regulation and create more room for change.
Experiential & Expressive ~ Sometimes insight comes through doing, sensing, creating or noticing - not only through talking.
Parts Work ~ We can explore the different parts of you with curiosity rather than judgement, especially when one part feels stuck, protective or overwhelmed.
Person-Centred ~ Therapy should feel collaborative, respectful and paced in a way that works for you.
Practical & Integrative ~ I draw from different approaches depending on what is most useful in the moment, rather than forcing therapy into one method.
My Counselling Approach
Individual Counselling
Sometimes you know what you want to work on. Sometimes you just know something needs to shift.
When Life Feels Too Much
Anxiety, overwhelm, grief, trauma, relationship strain, or major transitions can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself. Therapy can offer space to slow things down and find a steadier way through.
Making Room for Change
We can look at the patterns, responses, and experiences that keep showing up and explore what might create more choice, flexibility, and ease.
50-minute sessions
In person, online, or by telephone.
Many extended health plans cover counselling with a Registered Social Worker. Please check with your provider.

What to Expect in Therapy
A place to begin...you don’t need to know exactly what to say or where to start. We can begin with what feels most present.
More than talking...therapy may include conversation, body awareness, noticing patterns, imagery, creativity, or other experiential approaches depending on what feels useful.
At your pace...you stay part of the decision-making. We can slow down, shift direction, or focus on what feels most important as we go.
There’s no right way to do therapy. We’ll find a way of working that fits you.
