Meet Trishia.
Trishia is a dedicated Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with a wealth of experience in the field. Her journey in counselling began in 2016, and since then, she has been on a mission to empower individuals to overcome life’s challenges.

Trishia, well-versed in an array of therapeutic modalities, firmly believes that clients are the architects of their own lives.

Working together you can untangle the difficult things, allowing you to to re-connect to your authentic self. With a client-centred approach, she’s here to help you on your unique journey towards healing and personal growth.
