Remember Your Light
through creative and somatic counselling practices.
About the Counsellor
Sydney Low
The transitions and challenges that come along with life can feel isolating, but you don’t have to go through it alone. As a Registered Professional Counsellor Candidate (RPC-C), my goal is to help you feel safe, seen, and heard as you move through the phases of your life. Together, we can build self awareness, explore stuck emotions, and invite the light into times that feel dark.
Areas of focus
-
Healing from a concussion can be painful, confusing, and endlessly frustrating. Counselling can be supportive in this delicate time by providing facts and information about concussion, as well as providing a safe space to move through the overwhelming emotions that come with it. Together, we can build a simple and gentle tool box to help support you through your concussion healing journey.

ADHD affects focus, impulse control, and organization, making daily tasks feel overwhelming and challenging. Symptoms like distractibility, restlessness, and difficulty with time management can disrupt work, relationships, and personal well-being. Counseling can help to build skills that work with—not against— your ADHD, reframe negative experiences, cope with lingering feelings of failure, and improve your sense of self. My goal as a therapist is not to “heal” you from your ADHD, but to empower you to work alongside it in creative, supportive ways.

Pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a severe form of PMS that effects up to 6% of menstruating Canadians. It can bring on extreme feelings of sadness, hopelessness, irritability, anxiety, dissociation, and exhaustion. Counselling can be a safe space to explore those feelings without fear of judgment, as well as a place to build resources that can support you during your challenging luteal phase.
-
Anxiety can feel like getting stuck on a hamster wheel, never letting up or slowing down for you to get back on your feet. It can manifest as racing thoughts, feelings of overwhelm, and even physical symptoms that get in the way of every day life. Counselling can support you in exploring the hidden purpose behind the anxiety, slowing down the racing thoughts, and building resources that bring your body and mind to a state of calmness and regulation.

Maybe you are going through an unexpected breakup, anticipating a big move to a new city, or had an unexpected employment loss. Maybe you are graduating from university and can’t figure out the next move. Whatever the transition is, counselling can be a supportive tool by helping you reconnect to your values, your goals, and your self. By building self awareness and aligning decisions with your greater vision for your life, you can move through these big life transitions with more peace and ease.
