I believe relationships have an impact on every area of a person’s life. The most important being the relationship with yourself. Our complex society has made navigating relationships challenging to say the least. Simply put, we could all use some help from someone we can openly talk to without fear of judgement.
Over the past 10 years in the social work field I have had the opportunity to work the front lines of the non-profit, education and government sectors. This has afforded me hands on case management, mental health, child welfare, research, counselling, mediation, and consultation experience.
I practice from an anti-oppressive framework committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. I implement a solutions focused approach (drawing from other modalities as appropriate) to enable my clients to realize their strengths, thereby empowering them to take the necessary steps towards health, happiness and successful relationships.
In addition to my work as a psychotherapist I also plan and host self help events in and around the GTA. I was also a youtube video influencer for a couple of years before starting RoP, primarily focusing on relationships.

You’ve done everything right. You’ve been kind, reliable, strong.
But something inside still aches.
You’ve tried to fix it through journaling, meditating, staying busy.
You stay close to people who don’t really see you, because being alone feels worse.
Deep down, there’s a pain that won’t go away.
In therapy, we meet that ache together.
We slow down so your body can speak, and your heart can be heard.
You don’t have to face your feelings alone.
When they are met with care, they can begin to soften.
With time, something can take root:
A steadiness in your body
A clear voice that knows what’s true
Boundaries that feel kind and firm
A gentleness toward yourself you can finally believe in.
In addition to working from an emotion-focused and attachment-focused lens, I draw inspiration from my Jamaican (Maroon) roots, honoring intuition, spiritual wisdom, and tuning into the subtle ways life communicates with us. My work is grounded in listening deeply, holding space for the parts of you that have been overlooked, and helping you feel fully seen and understood.

Hi, I’m Kerry-Ann, a Registered Social Worker in the provinces of Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. My super power is creating A Safe Space To Unmask. In sessions, I try to cultivate an environment where people feel alright being themselves, feeling their feelings, asking others for what they need, being supported as they try to heal from their past, feel empowered as they attempt to address current challenges, and feel hopeful about their ability to navigate whatever the future has in store.
I’ve been where you are, I’m no stranger to anxiety, depression, trauma, or the guilt-shame spiral. I’ve been on my own journey of courageous exploration, so I have great respect for you as you navigate your unique journey. I’m passionate about the therapeutic process and supporting change. I specialize in individual counselling because I truly believe society is structured in a way that forces us to share the stage the majority of the time. In my practice you, your needs, and your desires takes centre stage. In session with me, you will be HEARD, RESPECTED, AND SUPPORTED.
Good therapy is grounded in openness and trust. If your “spidey sense” is telling you I might be a good fit for you, then I encourage you to reach out to schedule an appointment: https://abccounselling.janeapp.com/

My passion for offering psychotherapy services is deeply rooted in my personal experiences. I wanted to fill a gap and provide representation to BIPOC individuals and couples who wanted to seek therapy, but wanted someone who had a similar background as them. I am a first generation Canadian, with parents who migrated from the Caribbean and Africa. I’ve used my life experiences to help shape my identity as a counsellor and help ground me in the work I provide.
My therapeutic style is grounded in collaboration, curiosity, empathy, openness, and acceptance, as I believe these are the crucial building blocks for creating safety and transformative lasting change. In therapy, my hope is to facilitate a process where clients can understand and make meaning of their experiences and feelings in a way that feels genuine and authentic. I also hope to carefully curate an environment where you can freely explore culturally sensitive matters. I value the connections I make with each of my clients and understand the complex interplay of biological, psychological, and sociological forces that influence us and shape our experiences together. My approach and experience is based predominantly on Emotion Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but I use various lenses and modalities to customize your therapeutic experiences because I appreciate that no two people are the same and can adjust accordingly to what suits your needs best.
