Our Team

At ASR Counselling and Psychotherapy, our therapists support adults who are carrying the lasting impact of past experiences in their emotions, relationships, and sense of self.

As a group practice, we are grounded in trauma-informed and attachment-focused care. This means we pay close attention to how earlier experiences, relationships, and emotional patterns may still be shaping how you feel, cope, and connect today.
