A safe space for your feelings & your truth

With a careful attendance to a non-oppressive and non-judgemental approach, Katelyn is conscientious in cultivating a space where you feel you can be honest, authentic, and held safely in moments of vulnerability.

Increase your emotional awareness

We all have moments where we get emotionally overwhelmed and our responses are unaligned with our character or our values. Cultivating an attunement to your inner landscape and emotional experience is pivotal to finding ways to choose your emotional response and reducing emotional overwhelm. Katelyn works to help clients learn to recognize their feelings as they come up, extend themselves compassion, and find ways to respond to their experience that allows them to move through their feelings with support.

Deepen your underststanding of yourself and feel empowered to choose your response

Katelyn works with clients to aid them in reflecting on their values, their circumstances, their experiences and their internal narratives to come to a deeper understanding, appreciation, and acceptance of themselves. Often this can lead to a sense of freedom, and an ability to release narratives or behaviours that are no longer serving you, so that you can move towards things that better align with your true beliefs and values. 

Build your emotional and communication skills

Finding ways to respond to our feelings and communicate with our loved ones can allow for us to feel understood and confident in our relationships.
