If you’re looking for counselling in Kitchener because life feels heavier than it should, Faith Gunn, MACP Candidate, offers a calm place to begin.

If you’re searching for counselling in Kitchener because anxiety has been getting louder, your mood has been harder to lift, or you barely recognize yourself in the middle of all the overwhelm, you do not need to arrive with a polished explanation. You need a therapist who can make space for the messy, honest version of what is happening. Faith Gunn, MACP Candidate, is a student therapist at CARESPACE Westmount East who creates the kind of welcoming environment where you can show up exactly as you are and begin from there. She understands how much courage it takes to reach out for support, especially when you are used to pushing through on your own. From the start, her focus is helping you feel safe enough to speak openly, understood enough to keep going, and grounded enough to believe change is possible. Whether you are navigating emotional exhaustion, stress, self-doubt, or a growing sense of disconnection from yourself, Faith brings compassion, deep listening, and practical support that help therapy feel both human and useful.

Faith Gunn, MACP Candidate, offers broad counselling and psychotherapy support with added depth in the struggles that can quietly shape everyday life.

Faith Gunn, MACP Candidate, provides comprehensive counselling support for a wide range of emotional, relational, and life-transition concerns. Within that broad foundation, she brings particular depth and interest in ADHD, anxiety and depression, body image, communication, emotion regulation, and mood disorders. What sets her apart is the way she balances warmth with structure. You are not left alone inside your thoughts with nothing but validation, and you are not rushed into solutions before you feel understood. Because Faith is completing her Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology while gaining clinical experience under the supervision of a registered psychotherapist, you benefit from current graduate-level training, thoughtful reflection, and care that is carefully supported as well as deeply personal. If you are looking for a therapist in Kitchener who feels both compassionate and purposeful, that balance matters.

When you sit down with Faith, therapy feels less like being analyzed and more like being understood, organized, and gently guided forward.

Faith’s approach is collaborative from the first conversation. She listens closely for patterns, helps you make sense of what feels tangled, and works with you to build a plan that fits your pace, goals, and day-to-day reality. Rather than offering generic reassurance, she draws from cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused strategies, and mindfulness-based tools so that counselling becomes something you can actually use between sessions. That may look like slowing spiraling thoughts before they take over, noticing emotional triggers sooner, finding better language for what you need, or breaking a problem that feels overwhelming into smaller steps you can manage. At CARESPACE Westmount in Kitchener, your care can also connect with other disciplines when that would help you move forward more fully. The result is psychotherapy that is evidence-based and person-focused, while still feeling warm, flexible, and genuinely responsive to you.

Her psychology education and crisis-support experience give you both the steadiness to feel safe and the structure to keep moving.

Faith Gunn, MACP Candidate, is currently completing her Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University, where she is deepening her psychotherapy training while building supervised clinical experience in practice. Before that, she completed an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at the University of Guelph, with a minor in Family & Child Studies. That background matters because it helps her look at what you are going through with both nuance and context, not as a single problem in isolation, but as something shaped by relationships, life experiences, stressors, and patterns that deserve careful understanding. Her experience as a Suicide Hotline Responder with Talk Suicide Canada also strengthened her ability to stay calm in emotionally intense moments, assess safety thoughtfully, and respond with compassion when life feels unmanageable. She is Suicide Safety Certified and CPR Certified. Altogether, those experiences translate into therapy that feels grounded, attentive, and responsibly held.

If ADHD, anxiety, depression, body image struggles, or communication patterns keep shaping your life, this is where Faith’s added depth can make therapy feel more targeted.

While Faith provides broad counselling support across many concerns, two areas where her added depth can be especially valuable are ADHD-related overwhelm and the cycle of anxiety, low mood, and emotion regulation difficulties. If ADHD shows up as procrastination, disorganization, shame about unfinished tasks, emotional flooding, or the constant sense that everyday life takes more effort than it seems to for everyone else, Faith’s work is not about forcing you into a system that never fit. It is about understanding how your mind works, reducing self-blame, and building practical strategies that respect your strengths as well as your challenges. Using CBT-informed reflection, solution-focused planning, and mindfulness-based awareness, she can help you identify patterns, improve communication around boundaries and needs, and create steadier systems for follow-through, focus, and self-trust.

That same balance of insight and action is especially meaningful when anxiety, depression, or mood-related difficulties have been making you feel exhausted, disconnected, irritable, or stuck. Faith offers a space where you do not have to minimize what you are carrying or explain it away. Together, you can explore the thoughts, pressures, and emotional habits keeping you in the same loop, then work toward responses that feel more grounded and more compassionate. This can be particularly helpful when body image concerns are shaping how you see yourself, how you speak to yourself, or how safe you feel in your own body, when emotions rise so quickly that it is hard to regain your footing, or when communication in relationships keeps breaking down even though your intentions are good. Faith’s style is warm and non-judgmental, but it is also purposeful: she helps you name what is happening, understand why it is happening, and practice new ways of responding so progress feels tangible. The goal is not to make you into someone else. It is to help you feel more regulated, more understood, and more able to move through daily life with clarity, steadiness, and self-respect.

The relief you keep postponing does not need to stay out of reach—book with Faith and start building change now.
