Hi, my name is China Lloyd and I am a licensed clinical counsellor and contemplative psychotherapist who has worked in the field of mental health and wellness for over 15 years. I work with individuals in a variety of capacities, helping them with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma (both acute and complex), grief, self esteem and addiction. I have an MA in Counselling Psychology and an MA in Interdisciplinary Studies. I use an integrative approach that includes psychodynamic (Internal Family Systems), somatic, narrative, mindfulness based and cognitive-behavioral approaches. In addition, I am a trauma informed yoga therapist and have nearly 20 years of scholarship and training in Yogic psychotherapy and Buddhist psychology. I draw on these complimentary backgrounds to inform my work and holistic understanding of mental, emotional and psychological health. I take a collaborative, integrative and non-pathological approach that is founded in a compassionate, optimistic and empowering perspective.

​

My primary objective is to help clients gain insight into their inner lives and to help them initiate their own meaningful and transformative change process, recognizing that all people receive and process experiences differently based on culture and context. My role as a counsellor is to nourish and support that personal, creative process and to add professional expertise when needed.
