Bridget McDermott, MC, RCC

My approach is anchored in the recognition of the individuality of each client’s story and the uniqueness of each person. With this awareness I embrace a counselling style that is dynamic and adaptable, rooted in evidence-based practices, recognizing the importance of personalized approaches tailed to the specific needs, experiences and goals for each client. I draw from person-centered, cognitive behavioural therapy, gestalt, and I am EMDR trained. I offer a tailored and supportive therapeutic experience.  

I specialize in providing dedicated support for individuals of all ages, ensuring a tailored approach to meet their unique needs:

Children: Nurturing the well-being of our youngest minds is a privilege. I create a playful and supportive environment where children can express themselves, explore their feelings, and build the foundation for a resilient future.

Youth: Adolescence can be a transformative and challenging time. I offer a safe space for teenagers to navigate their evolving identities, manage stress, and develop the skills needed for a positive transition into adulthood.

Adults: Life presents a myriad of challenges for adults. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, grappling with depression, or carrying the weight of difficult early life experiences, my approach is empathetic, collaborative, and focused on helping you navigate life's complexities.

Every stage of life brings its own unique joys and hurdles. My commitment is to provide a supportive and compassionate space, fostering growth and well-being for children, youth, and adults alike.

Life's journey is filled with twists and turns, and sometimes we need a guide to navigate the challenges or re-write the script.  I work with individuals through a variety of life's complexities:

Anxiety: Whether it's persistent worries, social anxiety, or panic attacks, I provide tools and strategies to manage anxiety and regain a sense of calm.

Depression: Together, we explore the roots of depression and develop coping mechanisms to foster healing and restore a sense of purpose.

Self-Esteem: Building a healthy self-image is a transformative process. I work with individuals to enhance self-esteem, fostering a positive relationship with oneself.

Grief and Loss: Navigating the waves of grief requires compassion and understanding. I offer support through the grieving process, honoring the unique journey of each individual.

Sport Performance and Confidence: Athletes face unique psychological challenges. I help individuals involved in sports enhance their performance, overcome mental hurdles, and build confidence.

Life Transitions: Life is a series of transitions, each with its own set of challenges. I provide guidance and support during periods of change, helping individuals adapt and grow.

Trauma: Healing from trauma is a courageous journey. I employ trauma-informed approaches to support individuals in reclaiming their strength and resilience.

ADHD: Together, we explore the intricacies of ADHD, fostering a deep understanding of its impact on daily life and uncovering strengths unique to ADHD individuals.

Whatever challenges you're facing, my goal is to provide a safe and compassionate space for your personal growth and well-being.
