Thank you for visiting our website! A warm and genuine welcome from Authentic You Psychology; and a special message below from AYP's founder, CEO and Registered Psychologist Karen Gaudin.

One thing is for certain, life doesn't unfold neatly, and neither does healing. The complexities that life throws at you at times can feel extremely overwhelming. Yet these experiences, though challenging, are also avenues for positive change and growth. Together in a counselling context, we will not only explore and nourish these moments, but also unravel your strength and resilience that often remain hidden beneath the surface.

Through your therapeutic journey, I aim to not only help you find relief from pain; but also to empower you to transform these challenges into stepping stones toward a brighter future, and a more Authentic YOU! I promise to provide you with a safe space where my intention is for you to always feel accepted, heard, respected, supported and understood. I also promise to provide you with what might be at times hard truths, and necessary soft challenging, as needed. I promise to be authentic, which includes being transparent, open, honest and real, as part of my psychology practice and psychological work.

From my personal battles and experiences with ADHD, anxiety, trauma, addiction and being bi-sexual, I can intimately understand your life struggles and personal challenges. I discovered that beneath the darkness lies the potential for profound transformation and self actualization. Please let my journey serve as a guiding light on your path to healing. You are safe with me; remember you are not alone. It is time to finally meet the best version of yourself.

Together we will honour your story and foster the change you desire! Really looking forward to meeting you, or continuing to work together. Thank you for your trust in me as your therapist. I deeply appreciate my clients, more than they will ever know!

Sincerely,

Karen Gaudin
