Dylan Patterson
Approach to Counselling
Dylan’s approach is client-centred, strengths-based, and integrates components of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), emotion-focused therapy (EFT), mindfulness, and self-compassion. Dylan believes that our unique experiences and identities shape how we show up in the world and is passionate about supporting clients in their healing journeys. Dylan uses a trauma-informed, culture-infused, queer- and neurodivergent-affirming framework to individually tailor counselling to the needs of her clients.
