Shana Ledema

I am a Registered Social Worker and am currently undertaking further training as a psychotherapist. I have completed both Part 1 and Part 2 of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) training, and I am passionate about bringing an EFT-informed approach into my work with individuals and couples.

I particularly enjoy working with people who have experienced trauma and understand how deeply our past experiences can influence the way we see ourselves, connect with others, and navigate relationships. I feel privileged to support people as they make sense of these experiences and begin to develop greater safety, self-understanding, and connection.

My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I believe that meaningful therapeutic work begins with feeling genuinely heard and understood, and I aim to create a space where you can feel safe enough to explore what is happening beneath the surface. I am especially interested in helping people understand their emotions and relational patterns, and supporting them to move towards more secure and fulfilling ways of relating to themselves and those around them.

For me, therapy is about creating a space where you don't have to navigate difficult experiences alone, and where change can happen at a pace that feels safe and meaningful for you.
