Online supportive conversations
A space where being heard
comes first
Sometimes you just need someone to sit with you in it.
Not to rush you, fix you, or perform listening.
Just someone who's genuinely, quietly there.
Online supportive conversations
Sometimes you just need someone to sit with you in it.
Not to rush you, fix you, or perform listening.
Just someone who's genuinely, quietly there.
"Sometimes we're surrounded by people yet feel completely alone.
These conversations exist to change that."
How to get started
Choose 1 or 2 hours and pick a time that works for you.
A short intake form. Nothing overwhelming.
We meet via secure video. You lead. I listen. That's it.
About me
I'm Joanne, a psychology student training to become a counsellor. But before any of that, I was a kid who learned to be quiet. To take up less space. To carry shame like it was mine to hold.
I grew up in an unstable household where safety was never guaranteed. I was bullied, told I wasn't enough in a hundred different ways. So I became smaller, quieter. I disappeared into video games, plants, and weight training. Things that didn't judge me.
Healing happened slowly, and a lot of it came from learning that the patterns I carried weren't permanent. That it was possible to unlearn anxious ways of relating and build something more secure. At 33, I changed careers not because I had it figured out, but because I finally gave myself permission to do something that aligned with who I was becoming.
I know what it's like to carry voices that tell you you're broken. To feel surrounded by people yet completely alone. And I know what it's like to slowly, painfully, beautifully discover that none of that was true. Being heard changed my life. That's what I want to offer you.
I'm not a therapist, psychologist, or licensed practitioner. I can't diagnose you, treat mental illness, or provide crisis intervention. What I will do is listen. Really listen. The kind that makes you feel less alone.
What to expect
No agenda, no treatment plan. You bring what's on your mind and we follow that thread, wherever it leads.
Not performance. Not fixing. Just full attention and honest presence. The kind that makes you feel less alone.
I'm a psychology student in training, not a licensed therapist. I'm clear about what I can and can't offer. And I think that honesty matters.
Services
Affordable online sessions held via secure video call.
Starting at $50 CAD. You choose the pace, the topic, the direction.
A focused space to talk through whatever's on your mind. Good for first sessions or when you need somewhere to start.
Extended space for deeper exploration. More room to let the conversation unfold naturally without rushing.
More info
I'm a psychology student in training, not yet licensed. I can't provide psychotherapy, diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe treatment plans, or offer crisis intervention.
What I do offer is supportive conversation within the scope of a trained listener who's still learning. I'll always be honest about what I can and can't offer.
In crisis? Call 988 · Emergency: 911 · Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741
I ask for at least 24 hours notice if you need to reschedule or cancel. This allows me to offer that time to someone else.
You can reschedule directly through your confirmation email at any time.
Get in touch
If you're unsure whether this is the right fit, or just want to ask something before scheduling, reach out. I typically respond within 48 hours on weekdays.
Please don't use this form for crisis support. If you're in crisis, call 988 or 911.
Take the first step
It doesn't have to be a big decision. One conversation. No commitment beyond that. Just a space that's yours, with someone who will listen.
