Welcome—I’m Jo Hillier, Occupational Therapist and Registered Clinical Counsellor.

​

Life can be messy, complicated, and overwhelming. If you’re feeling stuck, anxious, or weighed down by past experiences, know that you don’t have to face it alone. I’m here to walk alongside you, offering support, guidance, and practical tools that can help you move toward greater ease, connection, and confidence.

​

I bring over 20 years of experience as an Occupational Therapist and training as a Registered Clinical Counsellor. My work is rooted in the understanding that our physical, emotional, and relational worlds are deeply connected. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, sensory processing differences, parenting challenges, or major life transitions, I offer an approach that integrates both mind and body in meaningful, practical ways.

​

My journey began in Occupational Therapy, where I developed a strong foundation in understanding how people function in their everyday lives—at home, at work, in relationships, and within themselves. Over the years, I became increasingly drawn to the emotional aspects of well-being and how our histories, nervous systems, and relational patterns shape how we move through the world. This led me to pursue additional training in counselling, where I’ve been able to deepen my work with clients in new and transformative ways.

​

I believe that real change happens when we feel seen, safe, and supported. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-informed practices. I tailor our work together based on your goals and values—whether that’s building emotional regulation, working through grief or trauma, strengthening parenting strategies, improving functional independence, or simply finding more balance in daily life.

​

For Youth:
I offer a safe space where teens can explore big feelings, build confidence, and develop healthy coping strategies. I integrate play-based therapy with a strong understanding of sensory, emotional, and developmental needs—supporting your child’s growth in ways that feel natural and meaningful to them.

​

For Parents and Families:
Parenting is rewarding, but it can also stir up past hurts, self-doubt, and stress. I provide parent coaching and family-focused support to help you strengthen relationships, improve communication, and respond to challenges with more confidence and compassion. Supporting the parent is often the first step in helping the child thrive.

​

For Adults:
Whether you're facing anxiety, burnout, grief, trauma, or a major life shift, I offer a non-judgmental space where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and work through what’s getting in the way. We’ll identify patterns, make meaning of your experiences, and move toward greater clarity and self-trust.

​

No matter your age or stage of life, I believe that healing is possible—and that you don’t have to navigate it alone. My work is grounded in transparency, respect, and a deep belief in your capacity to heal, grow, and create meaningful change.

​

Let’s take this journey together—toward a life that feels more aligned, supported, and whole.
