Sofia Schuringa
,BA Psych, ADMH, RHNC
Through my years of experience and training as a dancer, artist, counsellor, and an individual, I have learned the importance of authentic connection, creativity, and compassion. When working with new clients, I love to follow the philosophy, "be curious." I believe that authentically connecting with others is one of the most powerful indicators of success.
My background is in creative arts, mental health, addiction, and holistic wellness. I take a holistic approach with counselling - focusing on the various areas of your life and helping you find alignment and balance in all of them. This approach has been beneficial for many of my clients! We must treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. I follow the lead on what each client needs, meeting them where they are at. I take a person-centred, eclectic approach whether that is in person, over the phone, online, or via email.
I welcome you to get in touch and find hope and healing in the areas that you desire. Support is not far away!

"I haven't finished the programme so can only speak for what I've done so far. But so far it's becoming helpful and making me question and improve my thought patterns. And it's helping me feel more positive and compassionate to others and myself."

"I've only been using this service for a few weeks, but I really like the format! I'm a busy university student, and having something that really works with my time and my energy levels is awesome. I also like being able to refer back to what I've written and what my therapist has said, as I find that sometimes the high emotional intensity of in-person therapy wipes my memory of what we talked about!"

"I've been doing the program for about a month and so far it has helped me out. I am able to actively receive feedback on my day to day habits and thought processes. My therapist asks appropriate questions and provides very helpful and non-judgmental suggestions."
