Relationships are hard work!

Through counselling, I have helped many individuals overcome relationship hurdles.

Helping You Become Your Best Self

As a Certified Canadian Counsellor registered with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association, and a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers, it is my passion to help individuals overcome the challenges and struggles they are facing. After receiving my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counselling from the University of Detroit Mercy, I worked for organizations that allowed me to gain experience counselling individuals of all ages presenting with various mental health needs. I have counselled individuals with severe anxiety, clinical depression, individuals presenting with Bipolar disorder, individuals diagnosed with panic disorder, individuals struggling with low self esteem and body image as well as several other mental health needs. During this time I discovered my true passion for helping girls and women overcome many of the challenges that are unique to women. My role as a mental health counsellor, is to empower, support and gently challenge you as we walk together on your journey to better health. – Jenna Nikolli, MA, CCC, RSW

Transformative Counselling Techniques

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
With specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients identify and change negative thinking patterns and behaviors, and develop more positive and adaptive coping skills. CBT is a highly effective and evidence-based approach that has been shown to be effective in treating a range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, OCD, and PTSD.
Psychoeducation
In addition to individual counseling sessions, I also provide psychoeducation to help clients better understand their mental health issues and develop the skills and strategies they need to manage their symptoms effectively. Psychoeducation is an essential component of counseling, as it helps clients feel more empowered and informed about their mental health.
Evidence-Based Techniques
I use a range of evidence-based techniques in my counseling practice, including mindfulness-based therapies, psychodynamic therapy, and solution-focused therapy. My goal is to provide the most effective and personalized treatment for each client, based on their unique needs and goals.

What to Expect

During our initial meeting, I will talk to you about your goals for counselling. I will listen attentively and ask relevant questions about your life, your family, and your history. My empathic and genuine approach will help you feel at ease during our time together. I will encourage you to openly share your thoughts and feelings about what matters most to you, and to ask any questions you may have. In the first session, you may expect to collaborate to develop a flexible plan for the coming weeks.
During our counselling sessions, I will use various therapeutic approaches depending on your specific needs. My approach is laid-back, yet semi-structured. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) will likely be used as the primary method of treatment. CBT is a structured, problem focused,and goal directed form of therapy , which is based on the realization that our thoughts can influence our feelings and behaviour. I will be working with you to challenge any negative automatic thoughts, in order to assist you towards positive thought, feeling, and behaviour change. Research has consistently shown that CBT is often more effective than medication for treating even the most severe mental health issues such as clinical anxiety and depression.
