Sometimes we need support to better understand ourselves, navigate change, or simply make sense of what we're experiencing.

If you've been considering therapy, you don't have to wait until things feel "bad enough" to reach out.

When people think about therapy, they often focus on the conversation. But the environment matters too.

Located in Greenwich, our counselling space was designed to feel comfortable, private, and welcoming—somewhere you can settle in, take a breath, and focus on yourself without the distractions of a busy clinical setting.

Beginning July 13, 𝗦𝗵𝘆𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲 𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆, 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘀𝘁 – 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲, will be welcoming new clients in this space, as well as virtually across Nova Scotia.

Before becoming a therapist, Shyanne spent years supporting children, youth, and families through roles in education, behavioural intervention, mentorship, and family support.

What drew her to counselling was a desire to create space for people to feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment.

Outside of work, Shyanne shares her home with her two enthusiastic dogs Mazie and Trixie, spending time playing fetch, going for walks, and making memories.

She also loves cooking, baking, and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. And perhaps most uniquely, she occasionally writes mystery dinners—because, in her words, "𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘢 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘴?"

The same qualities that matter most to her outside the office—curiosity, connection, compassion, and authenticity—are the qualities she brings into her work with clients every day.

One of the most important parts of therapy is finding someone you connect with.

Shyanne's experience includes supporting youth, young adults, parents, neurodivergent individuals, and those navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, and relationship dynamics. Over the past eight years, she has worked in behavioural intervention, education, mentorship, and family-support roles, helping people better understand themselves and their experiences.

One of the things clients often appreciate about Shyanne's approach is that it is warm and collaborative. Rather than positioning herself as the expert with all the answers, she works alongside clients with curiosity, compassion, and authenticity.

Her goal is to create a space where people feel comfortable showing up exactly as they are—𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦.
