Natalka Lewis

My Approach
My name is Natalka (she/her) and I am a counsellor who believes that counselling should be comfortable, relaxed, and safe -not stuffy, or intimidating. Certainly, the work in counselling can be a bit scary, and so I focus on building a safe and secure relationship with my clients so they can feel supported in truly being their authentic selves. I work with older children (ages 10+), teens, and adults.

I believe in a collaborative approach to counselling where you, as the client, are involved in making treatment decisions and setting goals. Together we will build a strong therapeutic relationship that will empower you, support you, and offer areas for growth. I work from an approach that considers the whole person. Your mind and your body are connected; I can provide a holistic approach to helping you navigate life’s challenges and move towards a healthy & balanced life.

Though I have a range of experience with many demographics and areas of concern, I am particularly drawn to working with adolescents and children as well as young adults who are transitioning into adulthood. I moved into the field of counselling after a first-career in dance education where I formed my love and passion for working with kids and adolescents. I am a kid at heart and my experiences have taught me so much about child development and how to communicate with kids/youth. I am a neurodiversity affirming therapist and I offer lived experience and tools for kids and adults with ADHD. I love using creative means of delivering therapy and being expressive with my clients using metaphor, art, movement, music, sandtray, mindfulness, and more.
