Nice to meet you

Hello, I'm Angela Turner, and I'm grateful you've landed on my page. Sitting with people in their stories; helping them find meaning in the middle of events that seem overwhelming and incongruous, has always been a privilege and a passion. Creativity and Caring are the hallmarks of the way I practice counselling. Whether its helping you sort through trauma using somatic awareness and gentle witnessing, holding a grief open to healing in a safe setting, finding ways to cope with anxiety and depression or finding new ways to be in the world, I embrace the privilege of joining you in the uncomfortable parts of your journey and celebrating your discoveries. In addition, I hold a special place for cultural diversity, welcoming different perspectives with curiosity and respect.

I'm a registered psychotherapist (Q) with the CRPO with training in trauma treatment.

EXPERIENCE

My methods

Trauma Informed therapy

Trauma can leave an echo in the nervous system that leads to issues with addiction, attachment and emotional regulation. In trauma informed therapy I use the lens of the body/brain connection to understand and help change the present by leaving the past in the past.

Psychoanalysis

In psychoanalysis, we focus on changing problematic behaviors by understanding the unconscious meanings and motivations behind them.

Narrative therapy

In narrative therapy, the focus is on the stories we tell ourselves and the power they have to effect how we perceive ourselves and the world around us.

Christian Based therapy

Using a faith based approach to life's circumstances, I journey with those who invite this perspective into their realities by helping them wrestle with their pain through the lens of truth and grace.
