Erin Pownell

Hi, I am Erin, a Clinical Psychologist with over a decade of experience. I work with adults seeking support to navigate periods of transition or adjustment, particularly those who are wanting to feel less stuck or overwhelmed. Often, this sense of stuckness or overwhelm can manifest as anxiety, depression, grief, burnout, or a general sense of dissatisfaction with life.

I understand that building a strong therapeutic relationship is absolutely essential for creating meaningful change. Because of this, the sessions with my clients focus on developing a sense of safety, understanding your unique experiences and goals, and building a shared understanding of what feels most important to explore in therapy.

My therapeutic approach is exploratory, collaborative, strengths-focused, and insight-building. I hold a compassionate and accepting space for individuals who are open to exploring their past and present experiences to make more conscious, values-based decisions in their lives.

Rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, I predominantly use an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) framework, while integrating human-centred, relational and cognitive-behavioural principles tailored to your self-identified goals.

I am proud to be a neuro-affirming, trauma-informed, and LGBTIAQ+ supportive practitioner.
