A steady space in uncertain times
Virtual counselling for adults in Ontario
At Edgework, counselling is designed to support those who lead, work, and care in feminist, social justice, and helping professions. Many of the people we work with carry their own stories of trauma while navigating burnout, compassion fatigue, and the weight of leading in a time of uncertainty.
Our counselling practice offers a steady space for reflection, healing, and renewal to ensure the well-being of those whose vision and care sustain social change.

Why you might want to reach out
You’re carrying so much — clients, teams, community, causes — and still trying to keep your own life steady. But it’s getting harder to ignore the quiet feeling that something isn’t working anymore.
Maybe you’ve been pushing through for too long, holding stories of trauma, grief, or violence while navigating burnout, compassion fatigue, or perfectionism.
Maybe you’re leading or working in systems that feel under-resourced and overwhelming, and you find yourself questioning how long you can keep going this way.
Or maybe things are mostly okay on the surface, but part of you is asking for more ease, clarity, and alignment with the work and life you want to sustain.
You don’t have to wait for things to fall apart to ask for support. Therapy can be a steady space to lay things down, make sense of where you are, and reconnect with your own resilience and possibility.
Welcome! I’m Erin.
I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with a Master of Social Work degree from Dalhousie University. I provide psychotherapy for adults with a focus on trauma recovery, burnout, and life transitions. I have a particular interest in supporting survivors of sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and other forms of gender-based violence, as well as leaders and frontline workers in feminist and social service settings who are navigating the emotional toll of their work.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in feminist, trauma-informed, and narrative practices and integrates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I have completed additional training and certification in CBT and Women’s Reproductive Mental Health through Wilfrid Laurier University, and I draw on strengths and solutions-based approaches to help clients reconnect with their resilience, values, and sense of possibility.
With more than 15 years of experience in the gender-based violence and social services sector, I understand the complex realities of trauma-exposed work, where care, commitment and pressure often intersect. I offer a collaborative and relational space to reflect, process, and create meaningful change.
What to expect
Sessions are 50 minutes long and take place virtually via a secure video platform. I work with all genders aged 18 and up who live anywhere in Ontario.
My fee is $175 per session. I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. Many private health plans or employee group benefits plans provide coverage for psychotherapy with an RSW. Please check with your insurer to confirm your coverage.
Getting started begins with a free 20-minute consultation. This is a chance for us to talk about what you’re looking for, ask questions, and get a sense of whether we’d be a good fit. If it feels right to move forward, we’ll schedule your first session and move at a pace that works for you.
Some people come to therapy with a clear focus. Others aren’t sure where to start. Either is welcome. We’ll begin with where you are, and go from there.
