Hello! My name is Laura Walker. I am a registered counselling therapist candidate with the Nova Scotia College of Counselling Therapists. I have been a counsellor for 3 years. I am originally from Cape Breton, but I have spent the last 12 years living in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Fort Mcmurray Alberta and Fernie British Columbia. I moved back to Cape Breton in July of 2025 to grow some roots and spend my summers with my toes in the sand. I spend most of my time in nature, hiking, camping, fly fishing, exploring.
I have had the privelage of working with individuals of all ages, as well as couples, families, and groups. I have training in a variety of therapies, including Satir Family Therapy, Gottman Couples Therapy, Emotion Focused Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy. My formal education consists of a Bachelor of Arts/ Community Studies from Cape Breton University, A post Graduate diploma in Kinesiology from Lakehead University and Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University.
I am a trauma informed therapist and I believe there are many pathways to healing. I meet people where they are, use humor when appropriate and work with my clients to explore impacts of life events to help facilitate change and healing.
If you have any questions or concerns, book a free consultation to see if I’m a fit for you on your journey.
