Miranda Purcell

Hello!

My name is Miranda Purcell (she/her) and I am currently completing my Counselling Therapist Internship with Couch of Hope as part of my practicum in the Masters of Counselling Psychology program at Yorkville University. I have been passionate about mental health initiatives since I was a high school student where I chaired the Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) committee during my senior year. This committee focused on providing education to students about the importance of identifying coping strategies to avoid maladaptive/destructive behaviour patterns and using self-care techniques to improve the quality of your mental health. This passion drove me to complete my BSc in Psychology at Dalhousie University and begin my pursuit of becoming a mental health professional here in Nova Scotia.

I believe that each client deserves a therapeutic experience that is tailored to meet their unique needs, my style of therapy is grounded in Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. Becoming a counselling therapist is a mission close to my heart, I want to help bridge the gap for the growing need of mental health professionals in the province. I offer a compassionate and clientcentered space where individuals can feel seen, heard, and supported. I believe that each person is the expert of their own experience, and my role is to walk alongside them and help them navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, and personal struggles.
