January 2027 Cohort
Hi! My name is Emma (she/her), and I am a counselling intern here at Couch of Hope, and a Master of Social Work student at Dalhousie University.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Psychology from Mount Allison University, where I researched topics such as birth and mental health. These experiences shaped my understanding of people and how they can be impacted by their environment. My work experience is largely in group facilitation within the gender-based violence sector, with a focus on parenting and emotional regulation.
In counselling, I prioritize creating an environment where clients feel safe and empowered. My practice is client-centered and emphasizes respect above all else. I take an eclectic approach to therapy and draw from solution-focused and strengths-based modalities. I believe that therapy is not one-size-fits all, and I am happy to work collaboratively to find a style and rhythm that suits you and your goals.
Outside of work, I am passionate about music, moving my body, and connecting with my loved ones. I look forward to meeting you and starting this journey together!
