Alyx Monteith

Registered Clinical Counsellor, MA Counselling Psychology

Hi, I’m Alyx—I bring warmth, honesty, and a grounded presence to my work as a Registered Clinical Counsellor. I’m a naturally gentle person, but I’ll also be clear and direct with you about what I think might be happening, and what pathways forward could support your growth. I promise to offer you more than simply being a good listener—our work together will be active, and oriented toward meaningful change. I also like to bring a bit of humour into the room when needed.

Before becoming a counsellor, I worked as a family support worker, where I ran prenatal groups and supported people through pregnancy, pregnancy loss, infertility, and the transition to parenthood. I enjoy working with clients of all genders, and I have both passion and experience supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples.

I believe that healing happens in safe, attuned relationships and through direct engagement with our emotional experience—the kind that allows old patterns to be identified and rewritten.

What is it like to work with me?

I will always begin with working to understand you and the ways you’ve learned to navigate the world. Almost always, our struggles arise from patterns that once helped us survive or belong. Until we can see these patterns clearly and understand the wisdom in how they formed, it can feel nearly impossible to do things differently.

I tailor therapy to each client’s goals, values, and desired pace. Throughout our work together, I will check in regularly to ensure the process feels meaningful, focused, and aligned with your goals.

Who do I work with?

I specialize in helping adults with:

1) Trauma & PTSD
2) Anxiety & OCD
3) Relationship Issues, Couples, and other Dyads

I also enjoy and have experience working with a diversity of other issues, so if you feel drawn to work with me but don’t see your experience listed here, you are welcome to reach out and inquire.

Which modalities do I use?

My approach to Experiential Therapy combines multiple modalities for supporting meaningful, lasting change.

1) Internal Family Systems (IFS)
2) Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)
3) Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
4) EMDR

If you are seeking a specific modality, feel free to let me know. Otherwise, I will guide a process tailored to your needs.
