Sea to Tree Health & Wellness

Counselling with Brenda
Grateful to be living in the beautiful homelands of the Sc’ianew People, I am of settler ancestry with roots in Ireland, England and Eastern Europe. In 2020 I moved to this beautiful island from Northwestern Ontario, a choice I made to support my mom on her journey with Alzheimer’s. I am a mother and grandmother, these roles teaching me most about myself and the person I want to be in the world.
I am a Registered Social Worker (MSW), with extensive experience in counselling spanning over 20 years. My practice is deeply rooted in a wholistic way of healing that supports continued personal growth and empowerment. The approach I use brings together the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of self. Throughout my work in community agencies and Indigenous communities, I have had the privilege to support people of all ages, coming from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds. I have sat with people during the most difficult times of their lives and have witnessed the strength and resilience we each hold, should we be offered a safe and accepting space to do our healing. I believe that we all have the potential to draw upon our inner strengths and experiences and apply them to create a life that each of us deserves.
I look forward to learning more about you and working together towards your vision of what you want your life to be.
I work with adults 18 and over.
