About Courtney
Courtney is a compassionate and experienced therapist with a rich educational background. She began her academic journey with a Master’s degree in Experimental Psychology. However, she found that the role of psychotherapist better aligned with her intrinsic desire to support and guide others, which ultimately led her to pursue a second Master’s degree, this time in Counselling Psychology.
Courtney integrates a variety of therapeutic approaches in her practice, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). She is committed to adapting therapy to meet the specific needs of each individual client, understanding that even when clients face similar challenges, their personal histories and experiences are unique.
Courtney offers a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings, no matter where they are in their journey.
