Cate Duffy

At times, the demands of life can feel unmanageable. Whether you’re facing persistent emotional challenges such as anxiety, depression, relational issues, pain or distress you do not need to go it alone.

I offer a secure and attuned therapeutic space where your inner experience can be explored with care, curiosity, and clinical insight. My work is grounded in the understanding that healing occurs within the context of a safe and collaborative therapeutic relationship. Together, we will examine the patterns and narratives that shape your current experience, support the development of greater emotional awareness, and work toward meaningful and sustainable change.

I bring an integrative, trauma-informed approach that draws from evidence-based practices while honouring the uniqueness of your lived experience. My aim is to support you in cultivating a stronger sense of self, deepening your capacity for connection, and fostering greater resilience in the face of life’s complexities.

Shannon’s own mental health and inspiring healing journey set her firmly on the path of counselling, where she can be in service to help those who struggle to look at, understand and overcome eating disorders, addiction and the difficulties and dynamics in life that create deep wounds that undermine healthy self-esteem. She knows firsthand how impactful it can be to have a counsellor who is authentic, heart-centered, compassionate, and supportive. This was her personal inspiration to become a counsellor specializing in eating disorders and their co-occurring disorders–depression, anxiety, trauma-related disorders, perfectionism, or substance abuse.   

Shannon knows that the key to solid recovery is support; going it alone often fails and results in relapse. She understands the unique difficulties and complexities of living with an eating disorder, the impacts on the people you love, and the stigma and isolation this difficult and complex mental illness creates.  In her work, she is client-centred and strives to create a therapeutic experience where clients will feel seen, heard, understood, and supported. 

When not helping others, you will usually find Shannon in the garden or out in
nature with her family and dog Cooper, or on a trail or at the barn with her much-
loved equine companion, Bobo.
