My Counselling Services
Individual Counselling for Women
One-on-one sessions for women in all stages and ages of life. Individual counselling focuses on the challenges that you are facing in your everyday life. Sessions will be uniquely tailored to your experiences, history, culture, and personality as we collaboratively look at a healthy way forward.
Supervision
As a RPC-C, I work under the supervision of Meghan Hawkes, RCC, BScN, MACP, ensuring a professional and ethical practice.
My Approach
I work to provide a holistic approach combining systems theory, solution-focused therapy and cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) to promote renewal and transformation. I practice from a personal framework of Christianity and can offer a biblical approach to counselling to walk with you as you navigate your spiritual journey. Sessions will provide practical tools to help you move forward in any places you may be stuck. I often utilize homework and outside resources to provide a more comprehensive growing experience.
Special Focus Areas
Unhelpful Self-Talk and Negative Thought Patterns
Self-Esteem Issues
Personal Growth

MEET TESSA THUDIAN
I am a Registered Professional Counsellor – Candidate who is passionate about helping women navigate the challenges of life. With over 10 years of experience as a spiritual mentor and youth leader, I pursued additional education in counselling to gain tools to help women work through their anxiety, pain, and trauma that is holding them back from living a full, abundant life. On a personal note, I am happily married and have two young boys. As a reformed perfectionist, I believe in embracing the chaos of motherhood and am learning to navigate a vibrant ministry life, family life, and work life.
My Mission:
I believe in the transformative power of faith and therapeutic tools to help women experience freedom from anxiety, depression, trauma, and unhelpful self-talk. I seek to foster a nurturing, non-judgemental, empathetic environment where clients can explore their emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.
What to Expect in Therapy
Sessions take place in a comfortable, professional home office, fostering a warm and supportive environment. Individual zoom sessions are also avaliable.
Questions?
Begin by booking a 15-minute consultation to see if we would be a good fit working together. Feel free to prepare any questions you want to ask about the therapy process or my personal approach.
Initial assessments are for all first-time clients and include a comprehensive session focused on your personal history and current life circumstances. This session helps me to understand you better and gives an important framework for us to work collaboratively on a plan moving forward. This session also provides the opportunity for me to make referrals as needed.
