Amanda Bankebabone, MACP, Registered Provisional Psychologist

I’m Amanda, a Registered Provisional Psychologist with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and a Bachelor of Education with a minor in Special Education. My background in education has given me a strong foundation in understanding and supporting youth and families, complemented by experience in crisis and mental health services. I work with youth and adults navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, trauma, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. I also support clients in setting boundaries, navigating family conflict, managing stress, and making decisions that align with their values.

Clients often describe me as warm, authentic, and direct. I strive to create a space where you feel understood and accepted, while also being open to exploring difficult questions and patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I believe meaningful change comes from developing a deeper understanding of ourselves, building on our strengths, and making choices that align with our values.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and person-centred. I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic approaches, Narrative Therapy, and EMDR. I believe therapy should be tailored to each person’s unique experiences, needs, and goals, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. My goal is to support you in navigating challenges, developing greater self-awareness, and creating changes that feel meaningful and sustainable in your life.
