Jada Williams, Registered Social Worker, Intern
Specialities: Trauma, shame and self-confidence, boundary setting, healthy relationship building, building distress tolerance and emotional regulation
Jada is currently accepting new clients!
Jada Williams is a Registered Social Worker, currently completing her postgraduate studies in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) at the University of Oxford.
As a Black social worker, Jada understands that reaching out for support can be a deeply vulnerable step, especially when you’re healing from trauma, navigating complex family dynamics, or facing challenges related to shame and self-compassion. She doesn’t see herself as the expert on your life—you are. Her role is to walk beside you as you explore these challenges, offering a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can safely explore your experiences and identities.
She’s here to help you discover what healthy relationships might look like for you and to support you in setting boundaries that foster a sense of agency, connection, and peace, particularly if you’re healing from people-pleasing behaviours rooted in trauma. Her aim is to help you protect your well-being and facilitate your healing journey in a way that feels right for you.
Informed by DBT and psychodynamic principles, and grounded in intersectional feminist, anti-racist, and queer theory, Jada’s approach is all about meeting you where you are. She values the uniqueness of every person’s journey and is here to support you in your own way. Jada believes in co-creating a space where you can feel at ease, honoring what’s comfortable for you moment to moment. There’s no script or expectations about who or how you’re supposed to be.
She is here to walk with you—not as an authority, but as someone who listens with support and respect. There’s no rush, and no pressure—just a commitment to being present with you as you take each step.

Winnie Diverlus, M.Ed, Child and Youth Development, Autism and Behavioural Science
Accepting New Parent Support and Early Childhood Development Coaching Clients
Winnie is an Early Childhood Educator (M.Ed, birth to age three) and behaviour professional (Child and Youth Care, Autism and Behavioural Science) specializing in Montessori pedagogy, and child and youth development. Valuing her interdisciplinary roots in psychology, sociology and cultural studies, Winnie is a parent education fellow and possesses a decade of experience in facilitating and implementing various educational and developmental programs with children and adolescents. She has designed various programs that have supported the overall development of children such as language, sensorial, practical life learning, and cognitive development.
While doing her work, she realized that while there is ample support for the growing child during the early years, the support for parents and caregivers remain scarce and is practically non-existent for marginalized parents. She recognized that as we collectively shift towards the rewarding work of the inner child, unpacking our life long history and understanding how our experiences have contributed to the people we are today; if we insist on parenting our children the same way we were raised, then we will miss our chance at truly breaking traumatic generational patterns.
With the parent support program, parents and caregivers of young children will have 1-1 access to additional support that is needed to transform their parenting experience. The support will help parents and caregivers understand what exactly is going on with their child’s development, guide them in holistically supporting the latter and provide the appropriate support in their parenting journey.
