Online Counselling Across Canada for Individuals and Couples Feeling Stuck, Stressed, or Overwhelmed
Whether you’re navigating life on your own or in your relationship, counselling can help you untangle what’s weighing you down and find a clearer way forward.
​I help people who feel stuck, stressed, or overwhelmed, people who know something needs to change and are ready to do the work, but they don’t quite know where to start or how to get there. I pay close attention to what you say (and what you don’t), and we work together to understand what you’re going through, so you can feel more grounded, more like yourself, and have a clearer sense of what feels right moving forward.
Why Work With Me?
I specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a powerful approach that can help you process trauma, shift limiting beliefs, and move forward with greater clarity and ease. EMDR can also be highly effective for performance anxiety, and I often use it in my work with high-performing athletes, including Olympians. For couples, I draw on The Gottman Method—an evidence-based approach that helps strengthen connection, improve communication, and rebuild trust.

About Me
I’m Lianne—a performer at heart, a dog’s best friend, and someone who feels most alive by the ocean (preferably with sand in my shoes and a coffee in hand). I’ve worn a lot of hats over the years—flight attendant, customer service agent, optician, barista, research assistant…if it comes with a name tag, I’ve probably done it. These days, I’m a counsellor who believes in the power of connection, curiosity, and showing up as our real, messy, beautiful selves. Click below to learn more about me.
1. How do I know if counselling is right for me (or us as a couple)?
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from counselling. If you’re feeling stuck, stressed, overwhelmed, or just know something needs to change, therapy can help. For couples, it’s not only about repairing what’s broken — it’s also about strengthening communication and deepening connection. If you’re motivated to create a shift but aren’t sure how to start, that’s often the best time to reach out.
2. What can I expect in a first session?
The first session is about getting to know each other. I’ll ask a few questions to better understand what brings you here and what you’d like to get out of therapy, and you’ll get a sense of how I work. There’s no pressure to have it all figured out — it’s simply a conversation to see if it feels like a good fit and to begin mapping out your goals.
3. Do I have to talk about everything right away?
Not at all. You set the pace. Some clients like to dive right in, while others prefer to start gently. My role is to create a safe space where you can share when you’re ready, and we’ll always move at a pace that feels manageable for you.
4. How long does therapy usually take?
It depends on your goals, history, and the kind of support you’re looking for. Some people feel a noticeable shift in just a few sessions, while others choose to continue longer-term. I also offer intensives — longer sessions that allow us to do more in a shorter period of time, which can be helpful if you’d like to focus deeply without waiting weeks or months.
5. Do you offer online counselling across Canada?
Yes — I work exclusively online with individuals and couples across Canada. Sessions are held securely over video, so you can meet from the comfort of your own home, whether you’re in a big city, a smaller community, or anywhere in between.
