Kaitlin Stephens

Registered Clinical Counsellor

I help people get back on the same team as their mind and body.

Let’s make sure you have most loving relationship to yourSELF.

Are you tired of the constant battle and feel that you're worth and confidence are slowly depleting? Do you see others living their life to the fullest and you are curious as to why you can’t do the same. Anxiety, low mood, stress and that loud inner critic are driving the bus and are getting in the way of you living you're fully expressed life.

I know how crushing life can be; not feeling worthy, hating yourself, zero confidence, and discouraged about the future. I struggled with all of this for many years and then something shifted: I started seeing the light at the end of the dark and tumultuous tunnel. When we are in it, it seems it will never be different.

You can feel more centred and grounded through life highs and lows.

My why is to awaken humanity to the love that they always have been.

I became a Registered Clinical Counsellor because I don’t want people to suffer more than they have to. I want people to feel seen and heard and have a space to just come as they are. I want people to feel worthy of all the beautiful things life has to offer. I know from my experience and education what it takes to start getting back on the same team and start falling madly in love with life again.

Life can be a beautiful adventure full of passion and peace- and I believe I can help!

I see you!  

I know how crippling life can be and how it can completely dim your light.

I know what it’s like when you feel so low and it feels like it will never get better

I know what it’s like to constantly self-sabotage and let anxiety run the show.

I know what it is like to ruin relationships and feel alone.

I know what is is like when their is a constant critical internal dialogue.

I was in that place, for many years. And then, I met a therapist who completely changed my life. I started doing the work and I started to feel revived. Before I met my counsellor, I was completely hopeless, using self-sabotaging behaviours, and felt forever stuck but now? I feel connected, worthy, empowered, and alive.

YOU CAN TOO!

I acquired formal training and education so that I can help others on the path of really starting to enjoy life and all that it has to give. You do not have to do this alone. I know it can be scary and I promise you therapy is a place where you can “just be” and all of you is welcome.

I believe that therapy is more than just talking about your problems – it is a process that allows you to strengthen your foundation and carve out a new path that feels more aligned with what you truly desire out of life. Working with a counsellor like me allows you to explore the power you have and take action towards a life that is more aligned with your values.

We work together, in a collaborative way, and I hold the space to support and assist with sorting things out that need to be explored. I provide simple, step-by-step processes and tools that can be applied and used.

Maybe you have been wanting to reach out for help…

It can be a daunting step and I promise you that it is less scary than it feels. Once you begin, a sense of relief occurs because you are taking a step in a direction to feel better. Working with a Registered Clinical Counsellor can create long-lasting, powerful changes in how you handle challenging experiences, and how YOU think and feel about yourself. The work you choose to do now can have a major impact on your life path and those around you. The ripple effect of your therapeutic work can be liberating.

Life can be hard and you can get the support you need.
