About

Hi, I’m Gillian.

MSW, RSW, CATA

Welcome. I’m a Registered Social Worker (RSW) and Professional Art Therapist (CATA) offering counselling and art therapy services through TREK Counselling Studio.

I believe therapy offers space for reflection, understanding, and meaningful change. My approach is collaborative, relational, and grounded in curiosity, creativity, and connection. I strive to create a space where you feel supported in exploring difficult experiences, emotions, and transitions with honesty and care.

TREK Counselling Studio was created as a calm and thoughtful space for people seeking support, insight, and connection in the midst of complex and changing lives.

My work draws from relational, experiential, somatic, and art therapy approaches. I believe in meeting you where you are, at your own pace, and building a therapeutic relationship rooted in trust, respect, and collaboration.

Sessions may include creative and reflective processes when helpful, though no artistic experience is ever required.

Together, we explore what matters to you—your goals, challenges, strengths, and values—so you can move toward greater clarity, resilience, and meaningful change.

My Approach
