Aleya Lotzien

Intern

I’m currently completing my Master of Counselling Psychology through Yorkville University and am in my practicum at Tides Counselling.

I’ve always felt drawn to understanding people and walking alongside them through both the hard and meaningful parts of life. I believe there’s something powerful about having a space where you don’t have to carry things on your own.

I’m particularly interested in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), especially how it helps make sense of the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in a way that feels practical and usable in everyday life.

My approach is gentle, collaborative, and grounded in creating a calm space where you can feel seen, heard, and respected. I’ll meet you where you are, and we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you as we work toward the changes you’re hoping for.
