Ms Rosemary Fromson

Clinical Counselors

Am an experienced trauma and addictions counsellor, as well as relationship issues. I use the modality that best suit you, the client.

About Me

I'm here to help you navigate the profound impacts of trauma, addiction, and relationship difficulties. My approach is always tailored, ensuring we find the most effective way forward for your unique situation. We can explore what feels right for you, whether healing from past events or building stronger connections. This collaborative style helps you find clarity and lasting change.

Approach

Experienced trauma and addictions work means I match techniques to your pace, settling into what actually feels useful for you. In my Abbotsford office or online in English, sessions are practical and attuned—gentle pacing, regular check-ins, and occasional between-session reflections or small practices. We track triggers, strengths and relationship patterns using mindfulness, dream work and focused reflection so you build safer responses and clearer choices. People facing trauma, addiction or relationship pain often find this steady, collaborative rhythm helps them regain direction.
