Breanna Thompson - Counsellor

 
 

Location: Online

I am a Canadian expat who moved to Nairobi, Kenya, in 2017. I have a background in Elementary Education and have taught 4th and 5th grade, as well as social emotional education at an international school. However, driven by my passion for holistic wellness and the experiences I gained living in a culture different from my own, I revisited my career path and returned to Yorkville University to complete a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. I know firsthand the struggles of anxiety, depression, isolation, and maladaptive behaviors that can emerge when transitioning between cultures.

My motivation is to empower individuals, helping them recognise their inherent resources and strengths to navigate through transitional challenges. I am deeply passionate about walking alongside individuals committed to change, assisting them in finding the right tools and direction. I work from a person-centered therapeutic approach and seamlessly integrate elements of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), solutions-focused, and narrative therapy into my practice.

I completed my counselling internship at Satori Health Centre in April 2024.

I offer my services in English. I work ONLINE only, at a reduced rate.
