As a Registered Clinical Counsellor, I feel very privileged and find it an honor to  walk with clients on this messy journey called life. Life can be amazing sometimes,  but life can also be difficult, fraught with challenges. We were never meant to do  this on our own. I work with adults as clients, and I also work with youths as  clients.  

I know how difficult it is to ask for help and reach out. It requires strength and  vulnerability. So, thank you for coming to this page and taking the next step.  

My approach to counselling 

I am a very good listener and this makes the biggest difference in the two of us  doing the work that lies ahead - you know you are being heard. Through our work  together, we can utilize the power of connection and how every human being  longs to be seen, heard, and understood. This in turn leads to greater clarity for  steps ahead.   

I believe that we are the experts of our own lives and stories. No one knows our own lives and our own selves better than each of us do. Therefore, my focus is on  being client-centered. I believe that the past can inform the present, and so  psychodynamic considerations are important. Incorporating stories is an  important element in using narrative therapy with a humanistic approach.  

I am warm, compassionate, and with a touch of humor, and my clients would  describe me as non-judgmental, very real, and authentic.   

Let’s walk forward together 

 Louise Rumble, B.Sc., M.Ed., R.C.C.(BCACC)

 Insofar as neurodivergence as a focus, I have also worked as a teacher, specifically with  children/youth who have specific needs and challenges. As a result, I have a tremendous  amount of knowledge and experience of the education system both here in Canada and the UK.  I understand the frustration that parents and students face, especially if the student has  learning challenges and/or is neurodivergent. It can feel very lonely. I am a huge advocate for  those who feel like they have no voice, especially in an education setting. Even as a parent, I  understand this intimately.  

Anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem can feel overwhelming, and you don’t have to face it alone.  I work with teens and adults experiencing these concerns, as well as relationship stress, life transitions, grief & loss, and feelings of overwhelm.  We’ll work collaboratively, and at times I might ask challenging questions to help you explore new perspectives or parts of yourself as you move toward clarity. Not sure where to start? That is completely okay. I will support you as we explore your inner world and make sense of what’s going on.  This is a space where you—or your teen—can show up without pressure and where it’s okay not to have everything figured out.

Wondering if your teen might be neurodivergent?  Hearing terms like ADHD or Autism can be overwhelming.  I have worked with teens who are diagnosed with ADHD or Autism, as well as those who haven't had an assessment.  As a parent, you might also be looking for support with setting limits while helping your adolescent mature with the confidence to make mistakes.  Neurodiverse teens can struggle between masking their behaviours and learning to accept themselves for the unique and awesome people they are.  I can support your teen (and you)  in navigating through the daily grind of school/friends/family/social media in a way that works for them, not always for everyone else.   

Your goals and strengths will lead the direction of therapy, with a few tweaks here and there.  We will consider your current relationships as well as your childhood to inform us of how your body’s Nervous System directs and impacts you each day.  As you learn more about your body’s fight/flight/freeze responses you will begin to understand your emotional responses and choose different ways to express yourself.  Therapy can sometimes be intimidating, so my job is to help you feel relaxed, maybe even laugh a little at ourselves.  We will create space for difficult emotions and might find new ways to respond to familiar challenges.  I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine, supportive relationship—one where you feel heard, respected, and understood.

Whether you're reaching out for yourself or for your teen, I offer an approach that respects your unique experiences and supports growth at your own pace. 

 I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with a Master of Counselling Psychology. My approach is deeply client-centered, and I support individuals through an integrated therapeutic framework that draws on a range of evidence-based modalities. At the core of my work is a belief that each person is the expert of their own lived experience, and that healing begins when we honour that truth.

I bring a holistic perspective to counselling, recognizing the importance of our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual experiences in shaping overall well-being. My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and collaboration, and I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their inner world, navigate life’s challenges, and foster meaningful personal growth.

Before becoming a counsellor, I held leadership roles in corporate environments, which gave me valuable insight into organizational dynamics, workplace stress, and the critical importance of mental health in professional settings. This experience informs my work with clients who are navigating both personal and career-related challenges.

Equity and inclusion are central to my practice, a commitment that is deeply rooted in my personal experience as a parent of neurodiverse children. I have meaningful experience working with neurodiverse individuals and am dedicated to supporting people from all backgrounds and identities. I aim to understand and respect each client’s unique cultural, social, and personal context, ensuring that the therapeutic process is affirming, respectful, and empowering.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family, hiking, biking, swimming, playing tennis, and exploring the incredible beauty of our natural world.
