Kristen Wilson

My name is Kristen Wilson, and I am a  Registered Psychotherapist and Canadian Certified Counsellor. My practice focuses on helping couples, individuals, and families improve their relationships and enhance the quality of their lives. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and a Bachelor of Science from the University of Victoria. Before starting my counselling career, I worked as an administrative professional in the non-profit and health research fields. I transitioned to the helping profession after coming to terms with the impact that unhealthy relationships had on myself and those closest to me. I deeply understand the complexities and challenges of human relationships, and I am passionate about empowering my clients to achieve their goals and improve the quality of their lives.

I use an integrative approach that combines various therapeutic theories and techniques to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, goals, and preferences. The theories and techniques I draw from include compassion-focused, person-centred, emotionally-focused, Gottman, cognitive-behavioural, solution-focused, and integrative somatic parts work. As your therapist, I will provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can share your experiences and feelings without fear of judgment. I will actively listen to you, acknowledge your thoughts and emotions, and help you explore your vulnerabilities and emotions in a compassionate and trusting environment. My commitment to transparency and authenticity means I will provide honest feedback and guidance throughout your therapeutic journey. Together, we will work towards achieving greater happiness and fulfillment in your life.
