Kathleen Blackmore is a Registered Clinical Social Worker providing counselling to children, teens, adults, seniors, and families. She has over twenty years experience working in Canada and Ireland.

Kathleen believes that meaningful change begins with feeling understood, supported, and accepted. Her sessions provide a welcoming environment where clients can slow down, reflect on their lives, learn new skills, and gain greater clarity about their priorities, needs or next steps. She adapts her therapeutic approaches to the unique needs of each individual and family, depending on their age and stage of life.   

​Kathleen’s services are often covered by extended health benefits and autism funding. Coverage varies depending on the provider and program, so clients are encouraged to check their individual benefits. 
Reaching out for counselling can feel vulnerable and daunting. Kathleen approaches her work with empathy, curiosity, and optimism, helping clients develop greater self-awareness and self-compassion while building resilience and confidence in their ability to navigate life’s challenges. 
Kathleen offers a free 15-minute consultation to answer questions, discuss what you are looking for, and help determine whether her approach may be a good fit for you or your family.

​In addition to individual and family counselling, Kathleen offers parent coaching, parenting groups, and workshops. She is a trained facilitator in the Circle of Security Parenting program and a contributing author to the bestselling parenting book Perfectly Imperfect Parenting.

“My hope is that, through our work together, clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves, feel more empowered, and experience greater joy and presence in their lives.” ​
