Therapist

Linda is a Registered Counselling Therapist Candidate (RCT-C) with the Nova Scotia College of Counselling Therapists and a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC). She provides adults (ages 18+) with caring and confidential counseling therapy via predominantly video appointments. She draws on her 24+ years of experience working in the field of mental health and well-being as a researcher and evaluator. This work has given her strong insights into the importance of relationships and context for our own well-being. It has also helped her understand the impact of marginalization and oppression on how people are able to manage their own well-being. Finally, this work has shown her the importance of understanding people as they live within their own culture and across diverse cultures. Her own experience of relocating to Canada from South Africa in 2003 adds a lived experience of the challenges of moving between different cultures and especially adjusting to new spaces. Her education, life experience, and clinical training make her an effective and compassionate therapist.
