My approach is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and respect for the many cultural experiences that shape who we are. As a BIPOC counsellor, I recognize that our identities, cultures, families and communities can deeply shape how we experience ourselves and the world around us. Whether you’re navigating identity, relationships, self-worth, belonging or a major life transition, my hope is that therapy can be a place where you feel free to explore who you are and who you’re becoming. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6130fda1ea6e67128b238c65/4943eca7-cd9e-4c47-ace5-f9c3467c5423/IMG_0558.jpg About My framework stems from a Feminist, client centered, trauma informed strength based approach.

My name is Gabriela Fonseca. Originally from Managua, Nicaragua, I was raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and recently made the move to Halifax, Nova Scotia, drawn by my love of the ocean and the beauty of coastal living. My counselling journey began in 2011 when I started working as an unplanned pregnancy and birth control counsellor at Women’s Health Clinic in Winnipeg, Manitoba. This experience sparked a deep passion for supporting women through some of the most personal and meaningful decisions and transitions of their lives. Over the past 15 years, I have worked extensively in women’s health, including supporting individuals through unplanned pregnancies, abortion, reproductive health decisions, and infertility. These experiences have shaped my understanding of the complexity and deeply personal nature of reproductive and women’s health experiences. In 2021, I began my private practice, Gabriela Fonseca Counselling, where I support individuals who are navigating challenges with self-esteem, identity, assertiveness in relationships, and emotional boundaries with family members and romantic partners. I particularly enjoy helping clients better understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that may be keeping them feeling stuck. For five years, I have also worked at Jewish Child And Family Services as a counsellor supporting individuals experiencing a broad range of challenges, including trauma, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety. This experience has given me the opportunity to work with people from diverse backgrounds and with complex and varied life experiences. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6130fda1ea6e67128b238c65/f469c64c-2a0c-4f0d-b09f-2ea858824957/LLL03998.jpg About Me - My role as your psychotherapist will to guide you in making healthier choices. I’ll offer curiosity, reflection, and support as you explore what feels right for you. Some sessions may involve deeper reflection, while others may be focused on practical strategies or simply having a space to breathe and be heard. https://www.gabrielafonsecacounselling.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-04-01 https://www.gabrielafonsecacounselling.com/get-started daily 0.75 2025-04-01
