Welcome, I’m glad you’re here.

New Clients:

If you have interest in booking counselling services with Darion, please first book a free New Client Consultation (phone or video). If the days/times available do not work for you, please fill out the online forum or email (sungatecounselling@gmail.com) to arrange a time to connect.

Current Clients:

Evening sessions are limited and in high demand. If you have flexibility to book during daytime hours, I kindly ask that you do so to help keep evening spots available for those who are unable to attend at other times.

There may be certain dates where I am available solely virtually. You can check availability by selecting either virtual or in-person sessions.

This calendar opens 8 weeks in advance. If you’re seeking a time that is not available, I invite you to either add yourself to the waitlist (located underneath the displayed calendar) or reach out by email.

News & Updates:

  • I am away and out of office from August 15 - 30th. There will be one day available for virtual sessions only on August 24th.

Come as you are…

I believe in every person’s innate capacity for healing, and I’m deeply honoured to support you through the complexities of being human.

The adults I support are often navigating challenges related to relationships & boundaries, the impacts of trauma, emotional regulation, life transitions, stress & overwhelm, self-worth & self-esteem, anxiety & depression, and grief & loss. I warmly welcome people of all identities and bodies, including trans, non-binary, BIPOC, queer identities, and people with disabilities.

Together, we’ll create a grounded, compassionate space where you feel seen, heard, supported, and deeply cared for. My intention is to help you reconnect with yourself, honour your needs, and move toward meaningful growth, healing, and change.

I offer an integrative, trauma-informed approach that draws from a range of evidence-based modalities, including EMDR, AEDP, attachment-based therapy, somatic & polyvagal-informed practices, parts work, mindfulness & self-compassion, and art therapy.

Clients often experience my approach as warm, relational, compassionate, experiential, and gently direct. I strive to honour your unique experiences, strengths, values, and cultural context in every aspect of our work together.

I bring my whole heart and authentic self into the therapy space. Whatever you’re going through, I want you to know that I’m with you and we’re in it together.
