Nicole Konkin

BA, MA,

Hello, I’m Nicole Konkin, a counsellor who believes that healing and growth happen when we slow down, get curious about ourselves, and make space for what truly matters. My approach is grounded in compassion, connection, and a deep belief in each person’s ability to grow and better understand themselves. 

I know firsthand what it feels like to go through seasons of disconnection, self-doubt, and searching for direction. Over time, I’ve learned to trust in small, consistent steps forward, and now I support others in reconnecting with their values, finding balance, and building lives that feel aligned and sustainable. These experiences inform how I show up in the counselling space: with empathy, curiosity, and a deep respect for your lived experience. I believe that many of the challenges we face—whether related to identity, self-worth, or burnout—are deeply connected to broader social and cultural pressures, rather than personal shortcomings. 

I take a person-centered, collaborative approach to counselling and believe that you are the expert of your own life. I integrate tools from Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based strategies to help you explore what matters most, navigate challenges, and build on your strengths.

Outside of my work, I love spending time with my family and friends, exploring new places, being outdoors, and working toward my own self-care goals. I believe that success isn’t about doing more—it’s about feeling well, staying present, and creating a life you don’t need to escape from.
