Sometimes we move through life holding more than we can fully name or understand, and it can start to feel overwhelming, confusing, or unclear. In my work, I offer a warm, supportive space where we can slow things down and gently explore what is coming up for you.

You might arrive with something specific, or simply a sense that something doesn’t feel quite right. I invite you to come as you are, and we can begin there.

I work with individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, or a desire to understand themselves in a deeper way.

Experiencing inner conflict and looking for a listening ear? Look no further! My name is Bianca Taylor, and I am a Masters student in the University of Ottawa’s Counselling Psychology program. I am currently accepting clients as I embark on my practicum journey with Healing Pathways Counselling in Oakville, ON. As a bisexual woman raised in Roman Catholicism, I have experience with identity reconciliation and the struggles that may arise in this process. I also possess 2.5 years of front-line experience caring for intellectually disabled populations; this has granted me valuable skills in helping others feel seen, heard, and respected as whole individuals. I want to reassure you that the way you are is exactly the way you are meant to be.

I pull from various modalities, such as dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, internal family systems (IFS), and trauma-based methods. I also understand that many facets of identity intersect in unique ways. No treatment is one-size-fits-all; my approach is appropriately tailored to my client’s lived experience to promote safety and best address our therapeutic goals.

I am most interested in treating individuals with mood disorders such as anxiety and depression in addition to trauma-based concerns/disorders. My deeper passions lie in assisting young adults who identify as part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Queer joy is very important to me, and I am committed to demonstrating Pride within my sessions as well as throughout the greater community. I also value humour in session as a way of overcoming adversity. If you feel like society has boxed you in, I’m here to hand you the metaphorical box-cutters you need to begin exploring life’s wider horizons.

If you feel my work aligns with your concerns, I would be honoured to meet with you!
