About Us

Serving the Metro St. John's Area and beyond

At Brookside Counselling, we work with clients dealing with work, home, or school stress, PTSD, difficult childhoods, relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, anger, and a whole host of other issues. We know it takes strength just to admit that it’s time to talk with a professional and we look forward to walking beside you on your journey.

Karen Gawne, the Counsellor at Brookside Counselling, has experience working with First Responders with trauma and PTSD, and is a Clinical Services Provider for ADHD as well as a Clinical Specialist in Autism Spectrum Disorder. She works with adults and teens of all kinds. Karen is a Certified Counsellor (CCC) through the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. She received her BA in Psychology from Queen’s University and her Master of Arts with Honours in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. She offers EMDR and talk therapy using a variety of tools.

 

Why Counselling?

Talking with a Counsellor is not like talking with friends or family

Judgement-free

A good Counsellor will not get angry or upset. Whatever you tell them, they won't judge you, shame you, or put you down.

Supportive

A good Counsellor will not ghost you because of what you tell them. Whatever you say, they won't take it personally.

Insight

Certified Counsellors have spent years studying behaviour and the brain. They can probably help you understand why people do what they do. And knowledge is power.
