HEALING AND GROWTH BEGINS HERE
Mindful Connections offers compassionate, relationship-centred support for individuals, couples, families,and educators—helping you navigate challenges with clarity, confidence, and care.
Serving Clients in Canada and Antigua & Barbuda
Connection has always been at the heart of who I am. Before becoming a counsellor, I was first a teacher, a partner, a family member, a friend—and a human who has navigated her own mental health challenges along the way. But perhaps most influential has been my role as a mother to a child with additional needs. This experience has shaped my deep belief in the power of presence, compassion, and creating spaces where people feel truly seen, heard, understood, and safe. These experiences guide how I show up in my work, with warmth, empathy, and genuine care for each person’s story.
I am a Certified Canadian Counsellor and Parent & Educational Consultant with 14 years of experience in education, predominantly in special education. I am deeply passionate about working with children and families, and chances are, if you’ve ever had a conversation with me, it has touched on ways to improve children’s lives or how to better support individual's mental health and wellbeing. Whether through counselling, consultation, or workshops, my work is grounded in collaboration, care, and a genuine commitment to supporting growth across the lifespan.
I believe that growth doesn’t happen in isolation. The work we do within ourselves can create a ripple effect—shaping how we show up in our relationships, strengthening families, and influencing the communities around us in meaningful ways. When one person feels supported and understood, it often opens the door for change far beyond the therapy room. It is a true honour to walk alongside individuals and families during these seasons of growth, offering care, guidance, and support as they move toward lives that feel more connected, grounded, and aligned.
Hi, I'm Kendra
Services
Serving Canada and Antigua & Barbuda
Counselling
I offer Individual, couples, and group counselling for children, teens, and adults. Sessions provide a safe, supportive space to gently explore thoughts, feelings, and life’s challenges, with care that is responsive to each person’s unique needs.
Consulting
I offer consultation sessions for caregivers seeking support related to their child’s behavioural, emotional, or academic needs. Sessions may include guidance for home and school, support following an assessment or diagnosis, help navigating resources or funding, and collaborative advocacy with schools and other professionals.
Workshops
I offer interactive workshops for parents, school staff, and other organizations on a variety of mental health and wellness topics. Workshops can be delivered in person at your school or organization, or offered online to meet your needs.
“This felt like the first space where I could truly exhale. I felt safe sharing things I had been carrying for a long time and was met with warmth, compassion, and understanding throughout the process. I also gained practical strategies that helped me better manage my emotions, understand my patterns, and make meaningful changes that positively impacted many areas of my life. I left sessions feeling lighter, clearer, and more confident moving forward.”

My Therapeutic Approach
My approach to therapy is holistic, person-centred, collaborative, and grounded in genuine human connection. I believe each person comes to therapy with their own strengths, wisdom, and lived experiences, and I place the therapeutic relationship at the centre of the work. Creating a warm and authentic space is essential to helping people feel safe enough to share their stories and begin to set down what they’ve been carrying.
I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, I thoughtfully integrate these approaches to meet each individual where they are, always with curiosity and without judgment. Together, we explore emotions, patterns, and experiences at a pace that feels supportive and empowering.
At the heart of my work is the belief that every human has an innate capacity to move forward and create meaningful change. Therapy is a space to process, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters, supporting you in moving toward a life that feels aligned with your values, your goals, and your highest potential.
"Come as you are, and be met where you're at—because the growth you make in your own life creates ripples that positively impact those around you." ~Kendra Telesford
