ABBEY MACKINNON

With over 15 years of experience providing counselling and psychotherapy in the fields of mental health and addiction, I am committed to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and evidence-based care. I believe that every person has the capacity for growth and healing, and I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered.

I am certified in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Unified Protocol (UP), integrating these evidence-based approaches to help clients build practical skills for managing emotions, reducing distress, improving relationships, and overcoming anxiety, depression, trauma and other emotional challenges. Together, we will identify patterns that may be holding you back and develop effective tools and strategies to help you create meaningful, lasting change.

My approach combines empathetic listening with practical, personalized interventions, recognizing that therapy is most effective when you feel supported while also gaining skills you can apply in everyday life. Whether you are seeking support for mental health concerns, addiction, life transitions, or personal growth, I am here to help you work toward greater balance, resilience, and overall well-being.
