Healing from Trauma, Toxic Relationships, and Rebuilding Your Confidence

Therapy Tailored to Your Healing Journey

For Young Women Navigating Emotional Abuse, Toxic Relationships, and Low Self-Worth in Burlington, Oakville, Hamilton & Across Ontario

If you’ve been hurt by a toxic relationship, whether it involved emotional abuse, gaslighting, or constant self-doubt, you may be struggling to trust yourself again. You may feel disconnected from who you are, unsure how to set boundaries, or wondering if you’ll ever feel “normal” in relationships again.

At Guiding You Counselling and Psychotherapy, I offer trauma-informed counselling for young women looking for support from the emotional and psychological toll of toxic relationships. Whether you’re located in Burlington, Oakville, surrounding areas, or elsewhere in Ontario, I offer both in-person and virtual therapy to meet you where you are.

How I Can Help You

Emotional Abuse, Gaslighting & Manipulation

Emotional abuse can make you question your reality and your worth. In therapy, we can explore how these patterns affected you, and help support you in reconnecting with your truth, your instincts, and your power.

Rebuilding Self-Worth & Confidence

Toxic relationships can leave you feeling small and uncertain. You deserve to feel confident in your choices and connected to your own needs again. I can help support you in restoring your self-worth so you can move forward feeling grounded and strong.

Creating Healthy Boundaries in Relationships

Whether you’re afraid of disappointing others or unsure how to say “no,” boundaries are a vital part of healing. Together, we can work on building the skills to set compassionate, firm boundaries that protect your well-being and help you feel safe in relationships again.

Healing Through Self-Compassion

There is no “right” way to heal. You don’t need to rush or be hard on yourself. My approach is warm and collaborative, centered around your pace, your story, and your needs. I can help support you in building a path forward that feels safe and sustainable.
