Meet Kurina

Hello, my name is Kurina, I am a RPC-c (Registered Professional Counsellor Candidate). I am dedicated to guiding individuals on their path to positive transformation, firmly believing in the inherent capacity for change and growth within each of us. My passion lies in working with children, teens and young adults. My mission is to offer unwavering support and empowerment as they navigate personal growth and embrace the unique experiences that shape their lives.

By collaborating to uncover the underlying reasons behind certain behaviours, thoughts, and feelings we can effectively alleviate distress and foster growth.

Utilizing a diverse range of modalities and techniques, including play therapy, expressive therapy, gestalt therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, and rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), I tailor the therapeutic process to address specific concerns and goals. I prioritize creating a safe and connected space as the foundation of my practice.

If you are seeking support for yourself or your child, I am here to help. Contact me today, and together, we can embark on a journey of healing and growth.
