Hello,

In your work with me, you can expect to feel empowered as you start to see your problems ease and your relationship improve. Work with my clients goes deep and is from the ‘inside out’. I bring myself fully to each session, and I hold a safe space for you to do the same, in your own time. I am a human who strives to hold other humans suffering.

As I witness the growth of my clients I feel much joy and a sense of purpose. I am privileged to be invited to walk alongside and help my clients develop special moments of deep connection, laughter, and to witness healing, growth and deeper intimacy often when it once seemed hopeless to those clients.

I bring with me a wealth of experience from my work as a midwife in Ontario and in the U.K. I possess a Master’s in Counselling Psychology and have supplemented my education with many additional learnings, including Emotionally Focused Therapy. I take part in regular supervision that allows me to provide the best possible care to my clients.

I have lived experienced of divorce and the hurt that it brings. After a few years of focusing on raising my children and co-parenting, I was fortunate to meet a wonderful partner and develop a secure and ever deepening bond that I didn’t know was possible. Deepened of course by the power of Emotionally Focused Therapy.

Among my passions are growing and nurturing a garden, skiing, sailing, hiking, and being involved in the lives of my four children.

Sherriden Brown, Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario; Canadian Certified Counsellor.

I offer you a place where you can come and share your unique experiences without fear of judgement. I will provide you with a warm, empathic, and safe space where you can make lasting changes.

Help is here. You don’t have to do this alone.

Specializing in Couples and Marriage Counselling

 

Safety and connection are the fundamental cornerstones to any intimate relationship. Often people live life believing they should not ask for what they need and desire in a relationship. They may have deep seated beliefs that they are ‘needy’, ‘clingy’, or ‘co-dependent’ and as a result end up on an emotional roller coaster. These innate needs can show up as criticism, anger and eventually resentment towards the very people they love.

I help people to own, celebrate and express their innate needs for connection that are a normal part of being human. I will help you to identify the blocks that keep your relationship stuck and to free you to ask for what you need and long for in a way that your partner can hear and respond to.
