I believe in our natural capacity for growth, healing, and emotional balance. I support youth and adults in developing practical skills to regulate the nervous system and navigate life’s challenges with greater resilience and self-awareness. My work focuses on areas such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, stress, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

My practice is grounded in a strengths-based perspective and integrates approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness (TSM). I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and trauma-informed space where clients feel supported, and empowered in their lives. I also bring additional training in yoga and meditation, which can be incorporated as regulating tools within therapy.

If you are looking for a collaborative and relational approach to counselling, recognizing that each person’s experiences, strengths, and goals are unique, we may be a good fit.

Together, we can explore what is working in your life, identify areas for growth, and develop meaningful practices that support your wellbeing and overall balance.

Outside of my work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter, sharing good food and laughter, and spending as much time in nature as possible.

Allanna Ward holds a Master’s degree in Creative Arts Therapies (Art Therapy). She believes that meaningful therapeutic work begins within a safe, collaborative, and non-judgmental relationship. She works alongside clients to create a supportive and responsive therapeutic process, where individuals are encouraged to explore their inner experiences, develop insight, and notice patterns.

Allanna’s work is grounded in trauma-informed and relational care, with creativity offered as a therapeutic resource rather than a requirement. Art-making is introduced gently and flexibly, and clients do not need prior art experience or to identify as “creative” to benefit from art therapy. The focus is on process rather than product, with materials used to support reflection, expression, and self-understanding alongside conversation.

In her work, Allanna supports clients in reconnecting with their inner resources and developing awareness of how experiences are held emotionally and somatically. She recognizes that stress, relational patterns, chronic pain, and life transitions often live beyond words, and she works with clients to explore these experiences at a pace that feels respectful and manageable.

Allanna brings experience working in both individual and group settings across varied clinical contexts. She has supported adults navigating a range of concerns, including anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, identity exploration, eco-anxiety, and life transitions. She approaches this work with attention to how social context, identity, and lived experience shape emotional well-being. She has also worked with older adults and individuals living with chronic pain, cognitive changes, and complex medical conditions. These experiences have informed her sensitivity to issues of loss, identity shifts, resilience, and the emotional impact of illness, caregiving, and chronic stress.

Allanna is committed to offering a thoughtful and respectful therapeutic space and values working with clients across a wide range of lived experiences. Having returned to Newfoundland, she is deeply invested in serving the St. John’s community and feels honoured to walk alongside clients as they explore healing, agency, and resilience.

Allanna is a Professional Member of the Canadian Art Therapy Association (CATA) and the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). She offers individual and group sessions with young adults and adults within a collaborative group practice setting.
