Aislin Temple

Society often creates an invisible race where people feel pressured to match the achievements, lifestyles, and appearances of others around them. This constant comparison can make individuals feel like they are falling behind, even when they are making progress at their own pace. Over time, the weight of trying to "keep up" can lead to feelings of low self-esteem, low self-worth, isolation, anxiety, and depression. When people start to measure their worth based on someone else's timeline, it becomes easy to lose sight of their own value and unique journey, causing deep and lasting impacts on mental health.

Our work together will begin with forming a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy and mutual respect. This relationship will be the foundation of our journey together. I utilize Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) interventions tailored to your specific needs, experiences, and goals. We will conduct the sessions at your pace, as you are the author and expert of your own story.

As a therapist, I strive to establish strong, trusting relationships with my clients, creating a safe space where they can freely explore their thoughts, emotions, and challenges without fear of judgment. My goal is for you to apply what you have learned in our sessions to your everyday life, so that one day, you won’t need me anymore.

More Than Just My Work

I feel most at ease when I am sitting on the dock at my cottage, just listening to waves crash into the shore. Whenever I need to reground or reconnect myself, I go into nature.
