Chloe Machielse, MC.

Registered Provisional Psychologist

I believe that every person possesses inherent strength, even if it feels obscured during difficult times. Acknowledging the vulnerability that comes with exploring our deepest thoughts and emotions can be daunting, yet it is a crucial part of the healing journey. I strive to create a non-judgmental, supportive space where individuals can embark on this exploration safely, empowering them to make meaningful changes toward a happier, more fulfilled life. Central to my approach is the development of a strong therapeutic relationship founded on empathy, trust, and mutual respect. I understand that reaching out for help takes immense courage, and I’m dedicated to honouring your unique story and healing process. Together, we’ll navigate not only your challenges, but also the strengths and values that shape who you are. I prioritize a holistic understanding of your well-being, ensuring that our work respects your individual cultural context and promotes genuine healing.

As an attachment-focused psychologist, I draw upon emotion-focused therapy along with an integrative approach that incorporates various modalities, including Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy (NT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness practices. My work is rooted in a client-centered, strength-based, and trauma-informed framework, allowing me to customize each session to effectively address your unique needs and aspirations. 

I am passionate about working with diverse populations (ages 10+) and providing counselling in various areas, including but not limited to, anxiety, trauma, loss and grief, sexuality and gender exploration, life transitions, and relationship issues.

Since every individual is unique, the counseling experience will be tailored to your specific needs. I recognize that starting therapy is a significant step, and finding the right therapist is crucial. That’s why I provide a free 20-minute consultation, allowing us to explore whether we’re a good match. I’m eager to support you and walk alongside you as you embark on your healing journey.
