My counselling approach is primarily psychodynamic and transgenerational, focused on understanding you, your story, and what makes you who you are.

My name is Julia Besner, and I am currently completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. My background is in nutrition counselling, and as a Registered Dietitian have helped individuals of all ages and their family’s navigate nutrition from starting solids for babies to eating at the end of life, and everything in between for the past 20 years. I have a passion for helping individuals overcome disordered eating, and eating disorders, and have been an advocate for better eating disorder care in our community. Life continues to teach me many lessons as I navigate womanhood, parenthood, acculturation as an immigrant, life with a chronic illness and our ever-changing world. My counselling approach is humanistic. I believe in your innate worth and focus on what matters most to you. I don’t see you as broken or deficient but as a human being with life experience and strengths. I hope to create a space of care and compassion, so that you may find a way to do that for yourself too. I draw from person-centred, psychodynamic, experiential and existential theories, and practice through a trauma informed and social justice lens. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey of growth, healing and well-being.
