SHEILA LAROCQUE
(She/Her)

Sheila believes that the most important relationship you will ever foster is the one you have with yourself. Many people spend years meeting the world’s expectations while leaving their own needs behind, and her work is rooted in supporting clients to come back home to themselves. With a career built on decades of supporting diverse human experiences, Sheila offers more than traditional talk therapy: she offers a grounded, compassionate space for reconnection, reflection, and growth.

Her approach is holistic and embodied, guided by the belief that true wellbeing emerges where mind, body, and spirit align. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, Sheila looks at the whole ecosystem of a client’s life, supporting deeper self-respect, embodied awareness, and purposeful, sustainable change. Whether clients are navigating major life or career transitions, seeking clarity in the midst of uncertainty, or longing for a greater sense of peace, Sheila works collaboratively to help align daily choices with deeply held values.

Her professional experience includes supporting living with adults with acquired brain injuries and developmental disabilities, life skills and behavioural coaching, and mentoring students and adults pursuing academic and career pathways. She has also supported newcomers to Canada and LGBTQ2+ individuals through meaningful transitions, employment goals, and identity-related exploration.

Sessions with Sheila are collaborative rather than clinical, and often include thoughtful conversations that explore faith, dreams, identity, and the quiet “aha” moments of self-discovery. She believes clients are the experts of their own lives, and her role is to offer authentic, compassionate, and safe scaffolding as clients build lives that feel truly their own. Her work is guided by a trauma-informed, culturally relevant, and socially just lens, with a strong emphasis on embodied psychotherapy and mind–body awareness.

Sheila holds a Joint Honours Bachelor’s Degree in Therapeutic Recreation and Psychology and is completing a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. Her areas of specialization include Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Informed Care, Embodied Psychotherapy, Yoga Therapeutics, and Life Skills Coaching.
