A Compassionate Space for Meaningful Change
Healing and growth begin with feeling understood.
I believe counselling is built on a strong therapeutic relationship - one where you feel safe, respected, and accepted exactly as you are.
For over 20 years, I have worked with children, youth, adults, couples, and families in community organizations, schools, family support programs, and counselling settings. These experiences have shown me that every person's story is unique, and that meaningful change happens when we create space for curiosity, compassion, and connection.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, relationship difficulties, neurodivergence, or a major life transition, we will work together to find an approach that feels right for you.

AREAS OF SUPPORT
How I Can Help You
Parenting & Family Support
Parenting can be rewarding, exhausting, beautiful, and challenging - all at the same time. Together we can explore practical tools, strengthen relationships, and create more confidence in your role as a parent or caregiver.
Child & Youth Counselling
Children and teens often communicate their struggles differently than adults. Through developmentally appropriate approaches, I help young people explore emotions, build resilience, and develop healthy coping skills.
Couples & Relationship Counselling
Relationships naturally experience seasons of challenge and change. Counselling can help improve communication, deepen understanding, and strengthen connection.
Trauma, Anxiety & Mental Health
Past experiences can continue to impact the present in ways that feel confusing or overwhelming. Counselling provides a space to process experiences, develop coping tools, and move toward healing.
Neurodiversity Support
I enjoy working with individuals and families navigating ADHD, Autism, and neurodivergent experiences. Together we can build understanding, self-compassion, and strategies that support daily life.
LGBTQ+ Affirming Support
Arukah Counselling welcomes and supports people of all identities and backgrounds. My practice is committed to creating a safe, respectful, and affirming environment for LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, youth, and families.
A Collaborative, Supportive Approach
Connect
Our work together starts with creating a safe and confidential space where you can share your concerns, goals, and experiences at your own pace.
Explore
From there, we'll work collaboratively to better understand what's happening, identify areas for growth, and explore practical tools and strategies that support lasting change.
Grow
There is no "right way" to do counselling. Every person, family, and relationship is unique.
