Naomi Franklin
Counselling
I am passionate about helping people from all walks of life navigate issues related to anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, trauma, self-esteem, addictions, grief and loss and neurodiversity. Based on the client’s individual needs and preferences, I use aspects of person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behavioural therapy, mindfulness, self-compassion, acceptance and commitment therapy, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed therapy. I am compassionate, holistic, collaborative, and strengths based. I desire to help others explore and process relational, emotional, physical, mental and spiritual challenges in a safe and welcoming space.
My Journey Begins
Naomi Franklin Counselling was inspired by a personal passion for a holistic, patient-centered approach to wellness. Recognizing the importance of comprehensive care and compassion, I established a space where individuals can find support and guidance tailored just for them. I have more than 17 years experience working as a pharmacist, and most of those years were specialized in cancer care. I can walk alongside people on a medical condition journey, knowing personally about the challenges that navigating the health care system can bring.
