A highly sensitive therapist...

Adrie-Anne Gamble, Registered Professional Counsellor

Having overcome my own struggles, my heart is tied closely to the work I do. I listen deeply and thoughtfully, working with you to gain a deeper understanding of your thoughts, feelings and experiences.

I offer a caring, safe place where you can share your experience and find unconditional acceptance and support. I believe problems and symptoms are connected with the physical, mental, social, emotional and spiritual aspects of who we are. Having said that, we only work on the areas you feel ready to work on.

Having a positive connection with your therapist accounts for 80% of the progress in therapy. The other 20% is tied to the therapeutic strategies used in session. 80% is a big number which is why I offer a free introductory call to give you a sense of what I might be like to work with (no pressure to book).
