Adrie-Anne Gamble, MPCC, CCC
Hello, I’m Adrie-Anne.
I’m a Master Practitioner in Clinical Counselling (MPCC) and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), providing online counselling to adults in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
I specialize in complex trauma, childhood emotional neglect, narcissistic abuse, trauma bonds, family scapegoating and estrangement.
I also specialize in OCD, including intrusive thoughts, Relationship OCD, Responsibility OCD, Scrupulosity and other forms of OCD.
You don't have to have the right words, have everything figured out, or hide the parts of yourself that feel difficult to share. You can come as you are.
I am human first, clinician second. I don't shy away from suffering or the deep, fearful, vulnerable, and painful places. I stay with you in a steady and compassionate way so you don't have to navigate those places alone. I want to understand what you have been through, without judgment.
I’m a highly sensitive person (HSP) too.
For me, that means I experience life with a lot of depth. I think deeply about things, notice subtleties that others may miss, and have a strong awareness of what is happening around me. I have a deep sense of empathy and a strong appreciation for connection, beauty, nature, creativity, and spirituality.
I value this part of who I am. I think it gives me a richness of perspective and helps me notice the quieter things that can sometimes go unspoken.
I also understand that being highly sensitive can sometimes feel different from how other people experience the world. You may notice more, feel more deeply, or spend more time reflecting on things that others might move past quickly.
I don’t see sensitivity as something that needs to be fixed. It is a trait that can bring depth, empathy, intuition, and awareness.
Being highly sensitive is one part of who I am, and it is also part of what I bring to my work with clients. I want you to feel that there is room here for your depth, your questions, your emotions, and the things that matter to you.
And you don’t have to be highly sensitive yourself to feel welcome here.
My Training and Experience
For more than a decade, I have supported adults through trauma, anxiety, difficult relationships, and the patterns that can develop when your needs have not been understood, respected, or met.
I have lived experience, along with specialized clinical training in EMDR, EMDR 2.0, attachment-focused therapy, dissociation, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD. I have also completed specialized training in narcissistic abuse and antagonistic relationships, emotional abuse and gaslighting, emotionally immature parents, and complex trauma.
This means you do not have to spend your time in counselling proving why something has affected you. I have a deeper understanding of the experiences you may be trying to make sense of, while still taking the time to understand your experience and what you need.
