Theresa’s counselling practice is inclusive, trauma-informed, and culturally aware, ensuring that the unique experiences and identities of each client are respected and celebrated.

Theresa is also trained in Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE), offering specialized guidance for parents to help manage their children’s emotional needs.
Using her background in neuroscience, Theresa seamlessly integrates psychoeducation into her practice, helping clients of all ages understand how the brain impacts emotional regulation and personal growth. This empowering approach offers clients practical tools to manage stress, improve emotional health, and build resilience.
