Hi, I’m Amanda, a Registered Social Worker (MSW, RSW) and the founder of Skyline Counselling. I provide virtual and phone counselling for adults across Ontario. I support individuals navigating chronic illness, chronic pain, disability, grief and loss, including pet loss, anxiety, depression, stress, caregiver fatigue, and life transitions. Living in a rural Northern Ontario community, I also understand some of the unique barriers and difficulties people can face when trying to access support and services. My approach is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and non-judgmental. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are, without pressure to have everything figured out before reaching out for support. I believe therapy should move at your pace and be adapted to your individual needs, experiences, and capacity. I take a whole-person approach to counselling, recognizing the ways our mental health can be shaped by physical health, relationships, life experiences, responsibilities, environment, and larger systems around us. My work is informed by person-centred, strengths-based, trauma-informed, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approaches, while always tailoring support to the individual. Accessibility is very important to me. I offer virtual and phone appointments across Ontario, including evening and weekend availability, with shorter and extended session options available to support different needs and schedules. You do not need to be in crisis to reach out for support. Therapy can be a space to process, cope, heal, grow, and feel less alone in what you are carrying.
