Meet Tamika
Counsellor
Hi, I’m Tamika – a counsellor and the founder of Holding Space Counselling. I work alongside children, tweens, teens, adults, and families to support emotional wellbeing, resilience, and regulation through life’s big (and sometimes overwhelming) moments.
At Grow, I’m here to bring a mental health lens to the clinic’s wonderful wraparound support. I help young people navigate challenges like anxiety, emotional regulation, school pressures, adjustment to family changes (like separation or blended families), and the weight of the “mental load” many families feel today.
My approach is warm, trauma-informed, and creative. Sessions are grounded in connection, with practical tools that make sense for the child’s age, stage, and sensory profile, often using play, movement, and body–mind awareness alongside counselling conversations.
I believe when we give young people the emotional tools early, they don’t just learn to cope, they thrive. And when families feel supported, calmer homes and stronger connections follow.
I’m so excited to be part of the Grow team, offering another layer of support to the incredible kids and families who walk through the doors.
