Master of Arts in Counselling
Welcome here! I’m Dielle, and I would be delighted to meet you. I’ve been with Conexus since Fall 2020 and work with adult individuals and couples. One of my favourite things about my job is how it lets me meet people from all walks of life, including diverse backgrounds and life stages. I firmly believe we’re all looking for meaningful human connections, and I work hard to create a space where we can talk honestly about the things that are important to you. I’m so curious about what makes each person unique and how we can use insights from the field of counselling psychology to make your life make more sense. In our first session, I’ll ask about your life story so far, what is bringing you to therapy, and what goals you have for our time together. You’ll hear a bit about my approach and how I think I might be able to help.
Therapy is an investment in yourself of both time and money, so I want you to find the right fit. If that’s not me, I will work with you to find a referral. I describe my approach as kind and direct. I draw on several therapeutic approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and attachment therapy. I try my best to match the approach to the individual personalities of my clients. Some of my main areas of practice are anxiety, OCD, ADHD, anger management, parenting, perimenopause, grief, and other life transitions.
In my non-therapy life, I like to watch British comedy shows with my spouse and teenager. I always have several knitting projects on the go, and my to-be-read pile of books is always expanding. I lived in Europe for a few years with my family and caught the travel bug - there’s always another trip to dream of!
