• Michelle Hackett

    Registered Counsellor - MA, MACP, RCC

    I provide counselling to adults (18+) and seniors looking for support during the ups and downs of life’s journey by video and phone appointments.

    While receiving counselling from me you can expect to feel heard and at ease to share your deepest thoughts and feelings in a non-judgemental way. My goal is to help you explore new possibilities, gain awareness, heal, and empower you to strive towards your fullest potential. Within this nurturing alliance, I will help uncover the resilience within you to surpass obstacles.

    Areas of Focus:
    Anxiety, Self-worth, Life transitions, Career challenges, Student life stress, Loneliness, Perfectionism, Stress, Relationship concerns, Pressures of caregiving.

    I collaboratively create a counselling experience that is tailored to the needs of my clients using a client-centered approach. Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) guides my practice by guiding clients towards their values. To ignite change, I draw from diverse interventions that are solution-focused, strength-based, mindfulness-based, somatic-based, experiential, and cognitive-behavioural (CBT) techniques.

    Additionally, I studied Yoga and Meditation in Rishikesh, India, where I completed a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. This experience profoundly impacted my own well-being, and I draw from this approach to help my clients experience more balance. As an outdoor enthusiast, I am passionate about helping other outdoorsy folks achieve a higher sense of well-being to do what they love!
