Hi, I'm Philine,

It's nice to meet you.

I'm a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor - Candidate (# 4368) with the ACCT (Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada).

Throughout my life I've struggled to fit in due to hypersensitivity (HSP), undiagnosed neurodiversity, and being deeply somatically tapped-in. From early childhood trauma and chronic health challenges, to financial instability, abusive relationship dynamics, and a near-death experience, I've lived a lot. Taking charge of my own life and espousing radical honesty, open-mindedness, tools and resources has helped me bridge the gap between myself and the life I was called to live in my community.

Changing Leaves Counselling is born out of my deep-founded respect for the seasons and cycles of life, the inevitable changes we keep facing, and the resilience and hopefulness it takes to not only go through them, but keep coming out the other side even more filled with the grace and wisdom that only experience can provide.
