About

Kelly Vanclief

Over the course of the past 25 years as a Registered Social Worker I have had the honour and privilege of providing therapy to children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. I believe that working in partnership and collaboration, to inspire conversations that are both hopeful and supportive, should be at the centre of the therapeutic relationship. I assist my clients to build the self-knowledge and skills they need to feel in control of their thoughts, feelings and the direction that their lives are taking.  Fcusing on strengths and resiliency, has proven to be the greatest catalyst to growth and positive change.
