What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an EAP/employee wellness counselling role where I can provide trauma-informed, non-judgmental support, deliver assessments and groups, and grow within a supportive multidisciplinary team.

I am a Specialist Wellness Counsellor registered with the ASCHP for 5 years, specializing in trauma debriefing, marital relationship support, and lifestyle management. I provide empathetic, non-judgmental support to individuals and groups from diverse backgrounds.

In my EAP-focused work, I support overall well-being by delivering one-on-one counselling and support, helping clients develop coping strategies and wellness plans, and conducting assessments. I also deliver group counselling and wellness programs, with a strong focus on crisis intervention and burnout prevention.

I’m committed to fostering a safe, supportive environment that promotes growth, self-awareness, and wellness. I bring multidisciplinary collaboration within EAP frameworks, along with reliable, detail-oriented administration to keep client processes smooth.

I also support clients through marriage counselling and career counselling, coordinating client bookings, onboarding, intake forms, documentation, and organized filing systems. My professional ethos is clear: listen deeply, respond appropriately, and help people build healthier ways to cope.
