Description
Hi, I'm Clayre Sessoms (she/they). I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor in BC, a Counselling Therapist in Alberta, and a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in Ontario. As a trans, blind, and queer therapist, I bring a unique and enriching perspective to my work, utilizing my personal experiences and understanding to offer an empathetic and supportive space for my clients. Specializing in somatic psychotherapy, my approach weaves mindful self-compassion, thoughtful encouragement, and effective explorations to guide collaboration toward harmony, regeneration, and change.
