Deanna Smith

Registered Therapeutic Counsellor

Working with me, you’ll have space to talk things through, understand what’s really going on, and make changes that leave you feeling calmer, more connected, and more confident in the next chapter of your story. Whether you come on your own or with a partner, you’ll get real tools, support that fits you, and the confidence to show up as the real you. I'll help you understand what’s underneath the anxiety, disconnection, or patterns that aren’t working. We’ll look at old beliefs and survival strategies, bring compassion to your story, and build new tools for boundaries, emotions, and communication. Real change, with support that fits you and tools you can actually use. All parts of you are welcome here – even the ones that feel messy, angry, confused, or stuck. We’ll work at your pace, with compassion and creativity, to help you come back to yourself and into real connection with others. I work with people 18 and up of all backgrounds, identities, and ways of loving or living. Let’s see if we’re a good fit to work on your next chapter.
