Ainsley knows that through a positive relationship between client and counsellor, growth and change happen; therefore, Ainsley works to create a genuine relationship with each client. In this therapeutic relationship, Ainsley and her clients work through emotional wounds in a way that feels meaningful. Ainsley acknowledges that while all humans have commonalities in their experience, such as each of us having the capacity for growth, each person is different. Thus, Ainsley tailors her approach to each client.
Ainsley’s approach is person-centered and is tailored to each client by drawing from many different therapeutic modalities, including Emotionally Focused Therapy, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Somatic Therapy, Self-Compassion Therapy, Ego-States Therapy, and Observed Experiential Integration (OEI). Ainsley wishes to meet you where you are at and move at a pace that works for you. She would be delighted to connect with you!

They consistently ensure that our sessions are a safe, welcoming space where I can voice my concerns freely and without judgment.
