Ms Kristan Barnes
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
“It can be difficult to determine what we are looking for or what we need, I am an empathetic and receptive therapist who is determined to help you navigate your way through life in a way that works best for you.”
About Me
It can feel overwhelming when life's path seems unclear. As an empathetic and receptive therapist, I am here to guide you through these moments. We can explore your thoughts and feelings together, discovering what truly serves you. My approach focuses on creating a safe space where you can make sense of challenges at your own pace, helping you find clarity and a way forward that genuinely works for you.
Approach
When choices feel unclear, I help you break them into manageable steps and notice what actually helps you feel steadier. Sessions—in English, from my Ottawa office or online—move at a pace you set, mixing focused reflection with practical experiments between meetings so you can test what changes things for you. I use straightforward strategies tailored to attention, anxiety, anger, or transitions, and we track small shifts together. This approach suits people who want compassionate clarity and concrete progress.
