I am a counselling intern at Couch of HOPE. I am currently working at completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology degree at Yorkville University. I previously completed a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree in Psychology from Crandall University. I have always enjoyed listening to people’s stories and walking with them through whatever journey they are on. I have previous experience teaching children with learning disabilities how to read. This experience broadened my perspective on how people take in and understand similar pieces of information. It also deepened my belief in the power of acceptance, encouragement, and non-judgemental compassionate support. My therapeutic approach is rooted in warmth, empathy, and grace. I strive to help each client feel heard, understood, and acknowledged. I believe in a holistic approach where I focus on looking at each person as a whole while considering each individual piece of what brings them together. In general, I have a humanistic approach to counselling. This includes using person-centred therapy paired with solution-focused therapy. I use other therapy approaches as well; however, these are the two that I reach for first. On this note, I believe that every client is different, and that each have their own unique needs. As such, I adapt my therapeutic style to fit each client respectively. Above all, I believe that individuals are their own experts in their lives. I am here to be a witness to them and help guide them when they may get stuck. https://www.couchofhope.ca/bios/dianne-horsburgh monthly 0.5 2026-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698f78e4bad92a63090f2d08/3127c54f-d8c0-412a-b336-65aef1fb1ec1/Dianne-H-768x768.png Bios - Dianne Horsburgh - January 2026 Cohort Hi, my name is Dianne Horsburgh (she/her), and I am honoured to be joining Couch of H.O.P.E. as a Counselling Intern. I emigrated to Canada from Scotland in 2009 and am currently completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. For over a decade, I have worked as a Youth Care Worker, supporting children and adolescents who have experienced significant trauma. This work has strengthened my passion for creating safe, supportive, and empowering spaces where individuals feel heard and valued. My counselling approach is client-centred, rooted in empathy and cultural humility. I believe that clients are the experts in their own lives, and my role is to walk alongside them with compassion, respect, and collaboration, tailoring support to meet each person’s unique needs. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you on your journey. https://www.couchofhope.ca/bios/jenna-bouwman monthly 0.5 2026-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698f78e4bad92a63090f2d08/68f8de90-4bea-47af-abe1-d1da8e321273/COP-Spring-41+Large.jpg Bios - Jenna Bouwman - January 2026 Cohort Hello and Welcome! My name is Jenna Bouwman (she/her), and I am a Counselling Therapist Intern completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts in Political Sciences from Acadia University and a Bachelor of Education from Mount Saint Vincent University. My experiences supporting diverse communities and advocating for accessible care in both education and mental health settings inspire my commitment to creating a respectful, affirming, and culturally responsive space for my clients. It takes resilience to navigate a world that’s not built with your needs in mind. Systemic barriers can leave us feeling stuck and overwhelmed. I’m committed to supporting those overlooked by traditional systems of care. I believe growth is possible for everyone, and healing begins in connection. When we feel safe, seen, and understood, we find the courage to show up as we are and the freedom to imagine new ways of being. These beliefs inform my strengths-based, collaborative, and client-centered approach. I tend to draw from psychodynamic, humanistic, narrative, and feminist orientations, while integrating other modalities to offer support that feels right for you. I strive to meet you with empathy and curiousity, honour your story, amplify your voice, and ensure your goals lead the path forward. It’s my privilege to walk alongside you in this season of your journey. “What is the bravest thing you ever said?” “Help” Charlie Mackesy, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse https://www.couchofhope.ca/bios/justin-wan monthly 0.5 2026-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698f78e4bad92a63090f2d08/0a605c05-5852-41c6-a70c-824083cdfeaa/Justin-W-768x768.png Bios - Justin Wan - January 2026 Cohort Hello! My name is Justin (He/Him), and I am part of the Counselling Therapist Intern team at Couch of Hope. Completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) at Yorkville University led me to the opportunity to support a wonderful community here in Halifax. Prior to pursuing this program, I received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) and worked in an inpatient mental health setting for five years. During this time, I developed a strong passion for mental wellness, recovery, and promoting accessible care. In my work as a nurse, I cared for people from a diverse range of ages, cultures, races, and identities. No matter which walk of life you come from, I am eager to learn about the things that make you, you, and hope that together we can create new self-awareness and appreciation. My approach to counselling is strongly person-centred. From this foundation, I employ elements of Narrative and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I firmly believe that when we know and understand ourselves better, we innately move toward healing and self-improvement. Therefore, my goal is to create an environment in which you feel curious about yourself and comfortable with the vulnerability it takes to self-reflect. I aim to do so by listening actively, supporting and validating as you make sense of your experiences and their impact on your life. My areas of interest in counselling are in depression, anxiety, relationship and life stressors, challenges in intersectionality, and trauma, particularly complex PTSD. However, I welcome all who have reached out for support and work collaboratively to determine how I can best assist each client with their unique needs. It is my privilege to connect with you, my duty to listen, and my honour to help in any way I can. https://www.couchofhope.ca/bios/karlie-nicols monthly 0.5 2026-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698f78e4bad92a63090f2d08/df44d1d8-d82e-4e04-8e0a-7fcfd282a3e4/Karlie-Nicols-Photo-1-768x777.jpeg Bios - Karlie Nicols - January 2026 Cohort Hello!

I am honoured to be part of the Couch of Hope team as a counselling intern as part of my Yorkville education. Over the past five years, I have had the privilege of working in the mental health field, supporting individuals through a variety of challenges. I believe that you are the expert of your own experiences, and my role is to walk alongside you as you explore your story and move toward your goals, at a pace that feels comfortable and meaningful to you. My counselling style is rooted in client-centred, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approaches. I find myself drawn towards mindfulness techniques and evidence-based modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). Drawing from both my personal and professional experiences, I recognize how important it is to have a supportive, nonjudgemental, and collaborative environment where you feel heard, valued, and understood.

My name is Madeline Lean (she/her), and I am pleased to be a Counselling Intern at Couch of HOPE. I strive to create a therapeutic space that is warm, empathetic, and client-centered. My goal is for clients to feel respected, validated, and supported as they navigate life’s challenges. I believe therapy can provide a safe place to process emotions, explore new perspectives, and foster meaningful personal growth. My approach is grounded in compassion and curiosity. I am drawn to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Psychodynamic approaches, while integrating flexibility to meet the unique needs of each client. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, grief, and the influence of early life relationships and experiences on present-day challenges. I also hold a particular passion for understanding the dynamics of interpersonal relationships and what influences them. I graduated with a Bachelor of Public Relations from Mount Saint Vincent University and am currently completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. Additionally, I volunteer with the Kids Help Phone as a Volunteer Crisis Responder.

I am a counselling intern at Couch of Hope and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) student at Yorkville University. For the past 20 years, I have supported at-risk youth as they navigate trauma, addictions, mental health challenges, and identity exploration. These experiences have shaped both my personal and professional journey and inspired my transition to one-on-one therapeutic work with adolescents and adults. My approach is person-centered, built on safety, trust, and authenticity. I strive to create a space free of judgment where your perspectives, values, and lived experiences guide our work together. In my practice, I draw from narrative therapy, which emphasizes that you are not defined by your past and that your future is not predetermined. You have the power to write your own story. I also integrate solution-focused therapy (SFT) to help identify and build on strengths and resources you may not even realize you have. My focus areas include complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression, but I am here to support you with whatever challenges you may be facing. Life can be difficult, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to listen and to walk alongside you every step of the way. https://www.couchofhope.ca/bios/patricia-borja monthly 0.5 2026-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698f78e4bad92a63090f2d08/4ea43088-1128-4270-b237-cf5a395464f2/Head-shot-2-768x768.jpeg Bios - Patricia Borja - January 2026 Cohort Hello! My name is Patricia Borja (she/her), and I am a counselling intern completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. I am excited to be part of the Couch of Hope team and to support clients on their journeys toward healing and growth. My background as a Canadian Filipino and first-generation immigrant has shaped my understanding of how culture, family expectations, and stigma can affect mental health. Because of this, I am passionate about offering a safe, inclusive space for individuals who may not have always felt encouraged to seek support. For nearly eight years, I also worked in an assisted living retirement home, supporting residents living with dementia, Alzheimer’s, cancer, and other life-altering conditions. This experience taught me the value of patience, presence, and empathy while working with individuals and families during some of their most vulnerable moments. My therapeutic approach is client-centered, collaborative, and rooted in empathy. I aim to offer diversity and inclusivity in my work, especially for communities where seeking support has often carried stigma or barriers. My areas of interest include supporting clients with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and family dynamics, while remaining flexible and open to addressing whatever concerns are most meaningful to you. My goal is to walk with you as you explore your feelings and cultivate balance and empowerment. Choosing to seek support is an act of courage, and I am committed to offering a space where you feel truly heard and understood. https://www.couchofhope.ca/bios/raeghan-brydon monthly 0.5 2026-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698f78e4bad92a63090f2d08/46d54b9d-4d87-455c-8f04-9b098b8c843c/COP-Spring-38+Large.jpeg Bios - Raeghan Brydon - January 2026 Cohort My name is Raeghan Brydon (she/her) and I am thrilled to be joining Couch of Hope as an intern counselling therapist.

I have been working with a diverse population of individuals for the past five years, supporting adults with intellectual disabilities. It is my mission to help everyone make their contributions to society. I am a strong advocate for adversity, inclusion, and accessibility. I value everyone’s voice and believe everyone has something unique to offer to the world. My counselling style is very person-centered. I will meet you where you are, listen and support you in your individual growth. I also pull from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and a Strengths-Based approach. My areas of interest include anxiety, depression, self-esteem difficulties, and general life struggles. I am always willing to learn, listen empathetically and without judgement, and provide a safe space for you to communicate freely. I understand that life is tough, and we all need a bit of support at times. I am here to help you discover your self-worth while learning effective strategies to help you move forward.

My name is Youmna Saoud (she/her), I’m a Counselling Intern at Couch of H.O.P.E. and currently completing my graduate studies in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. My academic background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Publicity and Public Relations and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I also speak English, French, and Arabic, which allows me to connect with people in the language they feel most comfortable in. My approach is rooted in psychodynamic and attachment theories, with the belief that our early experiences and relationships shape the patterns we carry into our lives today. In our work together, we’ll gently explore these patterns and create space for new, more compassionate ways of relating. I also bring a trauma-informed lens and often integrate self-compassion practices and techniques to support emotional well-being, reduce shame, and build flexibility in facing life’s challenges. Alongside my counselling work, I volunteer as a crisis responder for children, and I’m also a parent, both roles that deepen my empathy and understanding of what it means to face struggles both big and small. Outside of work, I love sending time with my small family, practicing yoga, hiking and travelling, which keep me curious and open to new perspectives. Above all, I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey! https://www.couchofhope.ca/bios/mary-brinen monthly 0.5 2026-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698f78e4bad92a63090f2d08/dee77d6d-56c7-4a2c-bc9a-d61d4cb2409c/Mary-Brinen-headshot-2-768x768.png Bios - Mary Brinen - January 2026 Cohort My name is Mary (she/her), and I am excited to be completing my final placement for my Master of Social Work at Couch of Hope. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology form Mount Saint Vincent University and a diploma in Addictions Counselling from Nova Scotia Community College. Over the last 17 years I have been working in the mental health field, primarily in area of family support work. I have worked with families in their homes, I have facilitated parenting and anxiety programs, and have worked in the community, connecting folks to resources related to food, housing, and mental health. After working in mental health for many years, I recognized that many services had very specific goals or mandates. This led me to return to school to complete my Master of Social Work at Dalhousie University, as I want to be able to provide holistic care to my clients. In the counselling space, I value my client’s lived experience and work with my clients to identify their strengths that can support their wellbeing. I am interested in how being in nature impacts wellness and how spirituality and faith are incorporated into our ways of coping. I am flexible, person-centred, and believe we can work together to address your concerns. Outside of work, I am passionate about the outdoors and physical activity, I love hiking, biking, and running. I enjoy connecting with new people and hearing their stories. I look forward to hearing your story and supporting you. https://www.couchofhope.ca/bios/brittany-christiani monthly 0.5 2026-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698f78e4bad92a63090f2d08/37941807-fdcd-40b8-80e4-a9fc8a6df438/COP-Spring-35+Large.jpeg Bios - Brittany Christiani - January 2026 Cohort Hey there! My name is Brittany, and I am incredibly honored to be a counselling therapist intern at Couch of Hope. I have a Bachelor of Psychology from the University of Saskatchewan, and a Bachelor of Social Work from Dalhousie University. I am currently working towards a Master's degree in Social Work at Dalhousie. As someone in long term recovery, I am passionate about supporting individuals who are working to overcome challenges related to trauma, substance use, and mental health. My approach recognizes the resilience that exists within each person, even in the midst of pain. I strive to create a space that feels safe, nonjudgmental, and empowering — a place where clients can begin to rebuild trust, process their experiences, and explore new ways of coping. Most of my professional experience has involved working with children, women with disabilities, and the Women of the Métis Nation, as well as women and girls who have experienced sex trafficking and the sex trade. My work is grounded in the belief that healing is possible, even after experiences of trauma, loss, or addiction. I understand that each person’s path toward wellness is deeply personal, and my role is to offer compassion, understanding, and guidance along the way. My practice emphasizes empowerment, emotional safety, and connection, and my goal is to offer a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported exactly as you are. As an emerging therapist, I believe healing happens through authentic connection and self-understanding. My goal is to walk alongside clients as they build resilience, reclaim their stories, and move toward meaningful change in their lives. Outside of my work, you’ll often find me reading, working out, getting tattooed, exploring nature, or finding humor in everyday life. I look forward to meeting you, and I am excited for the opportunity to walk alongside you on this journey. https://www.couchofhope.ca/bios/jessica-heidebrecht monthly 0.5 2026-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698f78e4bad92a63090f2d08/10cdd559-10e7-4c74-a22d-e40b4f4baee9/COP-Spring-30+Large.jpg Bios - Jessica Heidebrecht - Practicum Supervisor Hi guys!
