Annika Chambers Counselling


About me
I’m Annika, a Master of Arts, Counselling Psychology student in the final phase of completing my degree to achieve the Registered Clinical Counsellor designation.
I provide genuine, compassionate, trauma-informed therapy at a reduced rate to individuals seeking a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships, and the systems that shape their lives.
​
I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy — a powerful, evidence-based approach that supports healing from trauma, anxiety, and emotionally charged memories. EMDR helps the brain reprocess distressing experiences and can bring lasting relief even when talk therapy alone hasn’t.
​
In addition to EMDR, I work from an attachment-based and mindful self-compassion perspective, prioritizing connection to self and others, and cultivating greater emotional awareness and resilience. I believe each of us has the innate capacity to heal and grow, and that sometimes the map to better health becomes clearer through talking things out with someone who truly listens.
​
My goal is to provide a supportive, comfortable, and collaborative space where you can explore your experiences, reconnect with your values, and take steps toward the life you want to live. Along the way, I’ll share practical tools and therapeutic techniques to support your process.
​
Before entering the therapy field, I spent over a decade working on the frontline in the federal correctional system with individuals experiencing incarceration. More recently, I’ve supported survivors of Military Sexual Trauma in their healing journeys. These experiences have deepened my commitment to understanding how systemic and cultural forces affect our emotional, spiritual, and physical wellbeing.
​
Clients often tell me they appreciate my curiosity, authenticity, and sense of humor — three things I bring into every session. If you're looking for a grounded, EMDR-informed therapist who honors your story and believes in your capacity for healing, I’d be honored to work with you.
