Hi, I’m Joelle — an integrative counsellor working with people who’ve often felt like they don’t quite fit the mould. I know what it’s like to feel like an outsider, and that lived understanding shapes how I work: with warmth, honesty, and without an agenda to make you into someone more “acceptable.” My practice is neurodivergence-affirming and LGBTQIA+ affirming at its core, not as an add-on but as the foundation everything else is built on.
Outside the therapy room, I’m someone who’s always been drawn to making things with my hands and finding my own way of doing things rather than the “expected” one — which is probably no coincidence given who I work best with. I bring that same care and attentiveness to detail into how I show up for clients: present, unhurried, and genuinely curious about your world rather than fitting you into mine.
My approach
Being integrative means I don’t ask you to fit into one therapeutic model — I draw on a range of approaches and adapt them to what actually works for you. Some sessions might be more talk-led and reflective; others more practical and concrete, depending on what you need in the moment. I think of it less like following a manual and more like building the therapy around the person in front of me: your history, your neurotype, your identity, and the way you naturally process things.
