From J. Taylor

I’m J. Taylor, a Professional Holistic Counsellor committed to supporting individuals and youth (ages 12 through young adulthood) through life’s challenges and transitions. I graduated from Rhodes Wellness College in 2023 with a Professional Counselling Diploma, hold an Advanced Grief Counselling certification (2024), and am currently continuing my psychology degree with a focus on psychotherapy, with a long-term goal of majoring in neuroscience. I am a Master Practitioner in Clinical Counselling – Provisional (MPCC-Provisional) with the Canadian Professional Counselling Association.

Rooted in a client-centered, trauma-informed approach, I tailor each session to the unique needs of my clients. I draw from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), somatic therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and ecotherapy. I also integrate practices from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), narrative therapy (externalization), and positive psychology to support healing and self-awareness.

My areas of specialty include grief and loss, post-traumatic growth (including emotional regulation and life transitions), identity exploration and self-worth, stress and chronic pain, navigating change, interpersonal communication, and hormonal and sexual health.

Whether through in-person sessions, virtual counselling, or walk-and-talk therapy in nature, I aim to provide a space where healing unfolds naturally—where clients feel safe, supported, and empowered.

I believe deeply in the mind-body-spirit connection and work holistically to help clients reconnect with themselves, find clarity during difficult times, and develop the inner resources to move forward. My practice is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and deep respect for every individual’s journey.

Whether you're navigating grief, processing trauma, or seeking clarity and connection, I’ll walk alongside you with care, presence, and purpose. Together, we co-create a path toward healing, growth, and meaningful change—one step at a time.
