Sondra Budd

I’m a therapist who takes a direct, compassionate, and trauma-informed approach to help you feel more in control of your life. Drawing on advanced training in evidence-based and trauma-focused therapies, I work with individuals, couples, children, and families through many different stages of life.

I help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or weighed down by stress, anxiety, or emotional pain. In our work together, we’ll gently uncover how your past and present experiences may be shaping your thoughts, feelings, and responses today.

My style is warm and supportive, but also straightforward. I’ll help you see what’s holding you back while guiding you toward meaningful and lasting change. We’ll focus on shifting unhelpful patterns, creating emotional balance, and building practical tools to navigate life’s challenges with more ease.

Above all, I provide a safe and respectful space where you can pause, breathe, and begin the process of healing, clarity, and growth. If this feels like the right time for you, I’d be honoured to walk this path with you.
