The Transformative Alchemy of Relational Connection

In a world often fragmented by disconnection and adversity, the nuanced relationship between therapist and client emerges as a transformative space. It's more than mere interaction; it's an alchemical partnership. This relational realm becomes a powerful crucible, where the elements of trust, insight, and compassionate attunement meld together to facilitate extraordinary change. Through this synchronized collaboration, we unravel the complexities entwining your emotional and neurological well-being, transmute the burdens weighing down your heart, and recalibrate your inner compass to guide you towards your authentic self.

UNITED FOR YOUR MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING: INTRODUCING A COLLABORATIVE HEALING APPROACH

Hi, I’m Clayre (she/they). My clinical focus is on trauma therapy—both critical incident and developmental—for adults at any age and stage of life. As a trans, queer, and visually impaired Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), my professional and personal missions are aligned in the pursuit of collective healing. My aim is to help you to free yourself from the daily impacts of worry, upset, or past harm.

Backed by specialized training, ongoing practitioner mentorship, and years of clinical experience in Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, my approach offers a uniquely balanced and well-attuned clinical practice for neurobiologically-informed experiential therapy. I blend psychoeducational tools and the latest processing methods to help you stabilize in the present, process your past, and creating a more joyous future.

My steadfast commitment to 2SLGBTQIA+ advocacy, antiracism and anti-oppression work, and disability justice is woven into the fabric of all that I do. I’m deeply invested in envisioning a more equitable and just mental health future. I believe lasting transformation arises from the co-creation of community care and collective healing practices.

Join me in creating a space that centres your restoration, transformation , and liberation.

Clayre Sessoms, MCP-AT (she/they)
