Nicola Spencer, Intern Counsellor

I view counseling as a collaborative relationship of deep connection and support… with a touch of salt.

My approach to counseling is akin to salt on food. Like salt, my role isn’t to change the unique things that make you, you. Rather, I aim to work with you in a way that amplifies your best qualities, enhances your strengths, and brings your uniqueness and values to the surface.

I firmly believe that the potential for change you seek already exists within you. Our working relationship can tap into that potential, allowing you to thrive. Discomfort and effort are part of this process, but my clients not only accept but embrace the challenge.

I support individuals navigating life transitions, big emotions, relationship challenges, sexuality, identity, and values. Whether you’re finding grounding in the rollercoaster of dating, enhancing your current relationships, figuring out what you want out of life, or building your confidence and capacity for whatever challenges arise, I’m here to help.

These are all areas I have struggled with and continue to work through in my own life. My practice is rooted in intersectionality and interconnectedness, recognizing that our individual experiences necessitate a unique approach that considers the broader context in which you live, work, love, and play.

From one human working on herself to another – let’s connect with intention and a touch of salt.
