Brittany Duncan

Registered Psychotherapist

“A passionate, dedicated mental health professional with diverse experience in psychotherapy and neurofeedback. I strongly align with incorporating self-compassion, relational, and narrative modalities to facilitate self-awareness and self-understanding of thoughts, emotion, and behavioural patterns.”

About Me

I provide a dedicated space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behavioural patterns. My aim is to guide you towards greater self-awareness. We often use self-compassion, helping you navigate challenges with kindness. This approach suits individuals ready to understand their inner world. Together, we can find clearer paths and lasting personal growth.

Approach

Sessions feel like a steady, curious unfolding—gentle but focused—where self-compassion and storytelling help illuminate habitual responses. From my Ottawa office or online in English, we match pacing to your attention and energy, tracking shifts in thought, mood and daily routines and translating discoveries into manageable steps between meetings. I combine close, relational listening with reflective prompts and periodic feedback moments so change becomes noticeable and workable. Those navigating transitions, attention differences, chronic health challenges or burnout often find this rhythm clarifying and sustaining.
