Hope's Haven Counselling

Nicole Nash, CCC

Areas of focus: Film & Entertainment professionals, Neurodivergence

Trying to survive and adapt in a world that doesn’t always feel like it was made for you can be exhausting. Taking the first step toward change can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re not sure where to begin. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

I offer a warm, client-centered space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. Together, we’ll explore what you’re experiencing, build on your strengths and resilience, and find a path forward that feels right for you, at your own pace. My goal is to help you feel more empowered while honouring your unique experiences and the ways you move through the world.

I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in Ontario, and Counselling Therapist in Alberta. My work with neurodivergent individuals began long before becoming a therapist—I’ve been supporting people with neurodivergence since I was 16. Over the years, this experience has shaped my understanding of the unique strengths, challenges, and experiences that can come with navigating a world that isn’t always designed with neurodivergent people in mind.

I primarily support neurodivergent individuals and actors navigating the unique pressures of creative industries, as well as those experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional regulation challenges, and the everyday stressors of life. My approach draws from CBT, Existential Therapy, Somatic Awareness, and Brainspotting.

As someone who also comes from an acting background, I understand that the creative world can bring its own unique mix of vulnerability, uncertainty, rejection, pressure, and self-doubt. I bring that lived understanding into my work with actors, while creating space for you to explore who you are beyond your work and what it means to build a life that feels authentic to you.

Whether you’re navigating neurodiversity, the demands of acting and the creative industry, emotional regulation, anxiety, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding, resilience, and meaningful change.
