Hanna Tontsch

My name is Hanna and I look forward to supporting you.  I began my career supporting children, youth, and parents as they navigated complex and often overwhelming challenges, including intimate partner violence, family conflict, and parenting concerns. Through this work, I helped individuals build life skills, communication skills, parenting strategies, and conflict-resolution tools, and it shaped my belief that healing happens when people feel supported, empowered, and understood.

I have experience working with youth, and adults facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, addiction and substance misuse, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. In therapy, I can work alongside you to uncover your strengths, heal unhelpful patterns, and develop the skills needed to foster deeper connection and lasting emotional well-being.

​

My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed and empowerment-based, drawing from Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT). I view mental health as an essential part of our overall health and believe counselling can be a valuable support not only during times of crisis, but also as a meaningful resource throughout everyday life. By integrating mindfulness practices with psychoeducation, I help clients navigate life’s natural ups and downs with greater clarity, resilience, and self-compassion.

 

I am especially passionate about working with individuals and families experiencing concerns related to relationships, parenting and attachment, life transitions, grief, trauma, and anxiety. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered to move forward at a pace that feels right for you.  Outside of my work as a counsellor, I enjoy painting, reading, spending time with loved ones, and making memories with my dog — moments that help keep me grounded and connected.

​

If you’re seeking trauma-informed counselling, support with anxiety, relationships, or parenting, I would be honoured to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.
