Virtual Sessions
You can access therapy from the comfort of your own home. Virtual and telephone sessions are available throughout all of Ontario during weekdays and some evenings.
My Approach
My focus is to build a safe and trusting relationship with you. I listen with empathy, explore your values and strengths, and work to understand the sources of your distress and concern. I help you locate the thoughts, feelings and actions that serve you and those that do not. If you wish, we can invite the ghosts that haunt us into sessions for a little while, give them voice, and lay them to rest. I share ways to manage unhelpful thoughts, calm emotions, and take positive actions towards a happier, healthier you. All of your experiences are welcome, including trauma, depression and anxiety, low-self esteem, relationships with your partner, family, colleagues, and your dreams for your future.
Everyone needs an ally from time to time: I am on your side.
In Person Sessions
I am conveniently located in beautiful downtown Kingston in an office suite with other mental health professionals.
The moment that you start to wonder if you deserve better, you do.
About Walk and Talk Sessions
Get outside, get unstuck.
Walk and Talk sessions can be a great option for those who like to spend time outdoors. They offer a more physically active option, which can help you get “unstuck” when confronting complex issues. Getting outdoors allows you to tap into your creativity and deeper thinking, which can occur with mood-improving physical activity. Being in natural environments also promotes relaxation and a sense of wellbeing. Depending on client preferences, walk and talk sessions can include a combination of traditional counselling, eco-therapy, and mindfulness practices.
Walk and Talk settings in the Kingston and surrounding area are quieter, lower traffic paths that are generally considered easy to navigate for most people. In cases where weather conditions are hazardous, sessions are moved to on-line or by phone. These may not be right for you if you experience physical health challenges that limit your ability to walk for up to one hour in length.
*Please call Holly to discuss when and where this option is available, and whether it is the right approach for you!
