Counselling specializing in anxiety and stress. 

"Everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued."

Finding the right support shouldn't feel like an uphill battle. Whether you are navigating neurodivergence, living with an intellectual or developmental disability, or managing the weight of anxiety and stress, you deserve compassionate care that respects your circumstances.

Everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued in therapy. If you have diverse needs or a developmental disability, finding someone who truly understands can feel impossible.

Her approach is person-centered, strengths-based, and inclusive, she believes therapy is a space where people can bring their whole selves, their stresses, hopes, and questions, and be met with care and respect.

Gillian’s practice is rooted in a strengths-based and inclusive philosophy. She believes therapy should be a sanctuary where you can bring your whole self, your stresses, your hopes, and your questions, and be met with genuine respect.

If you have been searching for a professional who understands diverse needs and prioritizes accessibility, Gillian provides a safe, supportive environment designed to help you thrive.
