Ciara is a Registered Social Worker (#4985-SK / #18109-AB) based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. She holds a Master of Social Work and has experience providing trauma-informed counselling to adults and youth (14+). Her professional background spans community mental health, healthcare, and private practice, providing her with a broad understanding of the emotional, psychological, and practical challenges individuals may experience.
With a background in nursing, Ciara holds a deep understanding of how physical and mental health influence one another, as well as personal experience working within the healthcare system.
Ciara brings a warm, grounded, and down-to-earth presence to her work and values creating a space where clients feel safe, genuinely understood, and comfortable showing up as they are.

Ciara supports individuals navigating life stressors, anxiety, depression, burnout, post-traumatic stress, complex trauma, ADHD, relationship challenges, workplace stress, and the impacts of intimate partner and relational violence, abuse, and high-control groups. She also works with those experiencing emotional ups and downs, life transitions, and periods of feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of their next steps.
Her therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client's individual needs and goals. Ciara is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and her work draws from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and narrative, somatic, and mindfulness-based approaches. Her practice is informed by research, professional experience, and an appreciation for each client's unique circumstances and strengths. Ciara recognizes that people seek counselling for many different reasons and that therapy is not always about addressing past trauma. Whether clients are navigating everyday stress, working through difficult experiences, strengthening relationships, or seeking greater clarity and direction, she adapts her approach to what matters most to them.Through collaboration and compassionate support, Ciara helps clients develop practical coping strategies, deepen self-understanding, build confidence, and navigate life's challenges with greater self-compassion and resilience.
