Hope Hamerston

I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, or feeling “stuck,” using a holistic and eclectic approach including CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, strength-based, and person-centred techniques.

I am passionate about empowering people to navigate life’s challenges with resilience, providing a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space. Outside of counselling, I enjoy nature, potting plants, time with my dogs, playing baseball, and, most importantly, my family.
