Philosophy

A therapist is not an expert on the client’s life but a compassionate guide

Canel Therapy aims to create a warm, integrated space to address all client’s mental health goals and needs. I want to help clients feel like their most authentic and content self.

The relationship between a therapist and a client is a unique experience that should be held with care. And within that relationship is where true healing can begin.

A therapist’s work is to walk through life with their clients.

The name Canel felt very relevant to the therapeutic relationship, as a therapist is not an expert on the client’s life, but a compassionate guide who offers space for emotional reflection and healing.
