Kimberly Sturgeon

I'm an integrative counsellor/ psychotherapist with an aim to provide a space to be... to be seen, heard, and valued, to explore what might be troubling you, who you are, and how you might cultivate a life that feels meaningful & fulfilling.

I am particularly interested in working with those who struggle in social situations, highly sensitive people, and those affected by trauma.

Whilst I understand and have experience of working with people who have received various mental health diagnoses, I work from a non-pathologizing perspective and am more interested in what has happened in your life, how you have coped with this, what is happening now, and how you may like to move forward. I work from a trauma-informed perspective and consider how power and your place within different systems may play a role in emotional distress.  ​

I always aim to hear what you have to say within the context of your life, and build a safe and trusting relationship in which you can be your whole self. I like to consider creative ways of making sense of who we are, this might include drawing, using figures, music or poetry.
