Professional Qualifications (The Official Stuff)

Hi!
I’m Tara, founder and therapist at Triskelion Counselling and Wellness.

I am a Licensed Counselling Therapist Candidate and Canadian Certified Counsellor. I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and English Literature.

We all have unique, challenging, and even gut-wrenchingly painful experiences that have led us to the place we are in right now. I consider it an honor to be trusted with people’s stories of suffering, joy, anger, fear, confusion, sorrow, and success. I offer a space where clients can be (or discover) who they really are in a world where we often get sidetracked by what we think we ‘should’ be, feel or do.  I would love to work with you to break free from the expectations of others and set a plan in motion to help you take control of the next chapter in your story.

Real-Life Qualifications (The Unofficial Stuff)

When I am not working with clients or catering to the whims of my spoiled rescue pups, I enjoy hiking, listening to music, attending concerts, watching movies, playing games with my three children, eating chocolate, and watching (not playing) football, basketball, and hockey. I am a lover of music, nature, animals, reading, puns, cheesy ‘dad’ jokes, sunsets, and stars.

I have held many roles and ‘identities’ during my lifetime. I am, or have been, a daughter, sister, student, wife, widow, girlfriend, stay-at-home parent, single working mother, dog mom, friend, and a student (again). Like you, I’ve been through some things. Maybe not the same things, but I understand that life throws both amazing and awful experiences at us, and I welcome the opportunity to help you navigate whatever circumstances have brought you here.
