Providing evidence-based psychotherapy and clinical counselling services to individuals.
Welcome to Danielle Bakker Counselling, where I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychotherapy and clinical counselling. I support you in navigating life’s challenges and building resilience, clarity, and balance so you can move toward a more fulfilling and grounded life.

I work primarily with adults, supporting a range of mental health concerns through a growth-oriented and flexible therapeutic approach. I integrate evidence-based techniques to help you move forward while also creating space to process and heal from past experiences.
Sessions are available in-person and virtually—because while in-person connection has its own kind of magic, accessible and effective care matters most.

With a focused specialization in PTSD and stress- and anxiety-related conditions, I bring a depth of clinical experience and training in evidence-based, trauma-informed interventions. My approach is culturally sensitive and rooted in creating a strong foundation of safety, allowing for meaningful and effective therapeutic work.
I strive to offer an inclusive, supportive space where clients feel respected and understood, and where healing can unfold at a pace that promotes both confidence and long-term resilience.

I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate the impacts of trauma and chronic stress through a collaborative and supportive therapeutic process. By fostering safety, insight, and practical coping strategies, we work together to help you regain balance, strengthen resilience, and move toward a more grounded and fulfilling life.

Individual therapy sessions are typically 50 minutes long. The length of each session may vary depending on the needs of the client.
Psychotherapy and counselling are both forms of talk therapy and are often used as interchangeable terms. Counselling typically focuses on current issues whereas psychotherapy can become more in-depth and often is a long-term process.
In person sessions are by appointment only.
