Julia Stuart, M.A., R.C.C. (Registration: 21628)
Welcome!
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC),
holding a Master’s degree in Clinical Counselling and Art Therapy. I work virtually and exclusively
with adults. I offer a supportive, focused space for individuals navigating a wide range of
challenges, including: anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, concussion recovery,
chronic pain, trauma, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
In my work, I hold space for the belief that life is weird and hard in so many ways, but also joyful
and beautiful. Therapy can be a place to explore all the messiness, the pain, the humour, the
meaning. I aim to provide a space where clients feel safe enough to be honest, yet challenged in a
constructive way, and supported in making meaningful change.
My Approach to Counselling and Psychotherapy
I believe that therapy should be effective and direct, while always grounded in compassion and
respect. My approach is collaborative and flexible, using a range of evidence-based modalities,
including: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive
Processing Therapy (CPT), mindfulness-based practices, and trauma-informed care. I also
welcome working with clients from diverse spiritual and cultural backgrounds, integrating their
beliefs and values into our work when appropriate.
