About Shelley
Hello, I'm Shelley, a Psychotherapy intern at Your Story Counselling. With a background in Physical Therapy, I'm deeply interested in the mind-body connection. Mindfulness and self-awareness are powerful tools that can lead to transformative change.
Having experienced my own traumatic ankle fracture and postpartum depression, I'm dedicated to helping others dealing with chronic pain, anxiety, and trauma. My eclectic approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and Trauma Informed Therapy.
Each client is unique, and I tailor therapy to meet their specific needs. I've gained valuable experience working with individuals facing relational issues, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and trauma. My passion for mental health support is even more critical in these challenging times, as many are dealing with COVID-19-related challenges.
As a certified life coach, I'm here to support you on your journey to better mental health. Let's work together to achieve your goals. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, reading, and spending time with my dog, Fozzie. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you along your journey to better mental health!
