Jessica Filpe

I am a US-trained mental health counsellor. I work from a heavily person-centred, trauma-informed, collaborative approach, tailoring therapy to each client's unique needs, goals, and strengths. Rather than following a single therapeutic model, I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, selecting the techniques that best support each individual. My aim is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel empowered to make meaningful and lasting changes.

I provide a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can safely explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. I understand that taking the first step towards therapy can feel difficult, and I am committed to building a trusting therapeutic relationship based on empathy, respect, and collaboration.

I work with adults, teenagers, and children experiencing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, stress, life transitions, relationship difficulties, emotional regulation, and low self-esteem. I also welcome individuals who have offended or who are concerned about problematic thoughts or behaviours and are seeking support to better understand themselves, reduce risk, and make positive changes. Therapy is a confidential, respectful space where you will be treated with dignity rather than judgment. Together, we will identify your goals, build on your strengths, develop practical coping strategies, and work towards meaningful and lasting change.

Whether you are navigating the impact of trauma, working towards recovery from addiction, managing difficult emotions, or seeking to move forward from past behaviours, my aim is to provide a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to create a healthier future.
