Meet Rhianna Lloyd
We are excited to welcome Rhianna Lloyd to Centre Wellness as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and psychotherapy intern. She brings a warm, thoughtful presence and a genuine interest in helping clients better understand themselves so that they can take steps toward meaningful change.
Therapy with Rhianna is grounded in curiosity and collaboration. Many people come in feeling unsure of where to start, and that is completely okay. Her approach allows space to explore your experiences at a pace that feels manageable and respectful of where you are.
Areas of Focus
Rhianna works with individuals navigating a range of common but often overwhelming experiences, including:
- Anxiety and overthinking
- Stress
- Emotional regulation challenges
- Self-esteem and identity concerns
These challenges can show up in subtle ways or feel all-consuming. Therapy offers a place to better understand them and begin responding differently.
Therapeutic Approaches
Rhianna uses an integrative approach, drawing from several evidence-based modalities:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Somatic-based therapy
These approaches support both practical skill-building and deeper awareness, helping clients connect thoughts, emotions, and physical experiences in a meaningful way.
Working With a Psychotherapy Intern
Rhianna practices as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and intern, which means she is completing advanced clinical training while providing care under supervision.
She is supervised by Amy Simms, Registered Psychotherapist, ensuring that clients benefit from both her perspective and the guidance of an experienced clinician.
Working with a psychotherapist intern offers unique advantages:
- Care that is informed by current research and training
- Ongoing clinical supervision to support quality and ethical practice
- A therapist who is actively refining skills and knowledge
- Fresh perspectives and thoughtful, attentive care
The College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario requires supervision as part of professional development, reinforcing safe and effective care.
What You Can Expect
Starting therapy can bring up a mix of emotions. You might feel nervous, unsure, or even skeptical. That is a normal part of the process.
In sessions with Rhianna, you can expect:
- A supportive, non-judgmental space
- A pace that respects your comfort level
- Gentle exploration of thoughts, emotions, and patterns
- Practical tools to help manage stress and emotional overwhelm
- Ongoing collaboration in setting goals that matter to you
Over time, therapy can help you feel more grounded, more aware of your needs, and more confident in how you respond to challenges.
