Hi, I’m Rebecca, Registered Social Worker and the Founder of RD Counselling.

​

Therapy offers a space where you can step away from masking, performing, and carrying the weight of societal expectations.

​

Together, we’ll create a warm and affirming environment where you can show up authentically, explore your experiences, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself.

​

As a therapist, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my work. I believe therapy isn’t about changing who you are—it’s about reconnecting with yourself, discovering what matters most, and taking steps toward a life guided by your values.

Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, the impact of traumatic experiences, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, I can support you in making space for difficult thoughts and emotions, building psychological flexibility, and creating meaningful change.

​

Compassionate, curious, and gently challenging, I’ll meet you where you are while empowering you to explore new perspectives at a pace that feels right for you.
