Stacy Kirkbride
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), Recreation Therapist -
*Online/Teletherapy Only*
Navigating life’s challenges can be hard and often needs support. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying) and Recreation Therapist with experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns from depression, anxiety, panic and phobias, and relationship issues. I bring a wealth of experience supporting those facing difficult life transitions, chronic conditions, pain, illness and injury, grief, interpersonal challenges, and low self-confidence.
I enjoy working with individuals and couples and helping them to navigate growth, transitions, stress management, and self-worth. I enjoy assisting couples to enhance and build stronger communication, connection, and collective wellbeing. I use an empathic, trauma-informed, and collaborative approach which draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, as well as relational and existential approaches.
Your emotional safety in important to me. If you’re ready to take the next step and explore how counselling can help, please contact me for a free consultation where we can get to know each other further and answer any questions you may have. I offer accessible and secure video and phone sessions. If you are currently a full-time student or on ODSP, please contact me to discuss the availability of reduced rates.
