Nice to meet you here. Let’s bring up some lights.
Counselling that improve your mental health
I am Jocelyn, the counsellor and owner of Gentle Light Counselling, with over 18 years of experience improving children's and adults' mental health in clinical settings.
During my 11+ years at Toronto Children's Aid Society, I worked with clients from diverse backgrounds, assisting many through difficult situations. I practice within an Anti-Oppression, Anti-Racism Framework, with a strength-based focus and trauma-informed lens.
As a professionally trained and registered social worker, I have special interests in family relationships, partner relationships, attachment, trauma, fertility, and mental health issues (including depression, anxiety, stress, anger, addiction, grief, self-esteem, and identity).
I hold a Master's degree in Social Work, and I am fluent in both English and Mandarin. My goal is to gently guide you in discovering your inner voice, strength, and resilience. I am committed to providing a welcoming and confidential space for your journey.
A strength-based counselling
It’s my believe that there is strength in everyone. I value the resilience and the power of healing that could be enhanced by self- awareness and discovery. It is important for me to listen to your needs and tailor my service to be the best match for your needs.
Other Approaches:
• Client-centered • Culturally-sensitive
• Trauma-informed • LGBTQ+ friendly
• Anti- oppressive • Anti-racist
• Non-judgemental
