Kimberley Orton (she/her) is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and a Registered Midwife (Inactive) with a background in birth work, grief work, sexual and reproductive health, and in supporting perinatal wellbeing. With a diversity of expertise and a deep understanding of the unique emotional challenges that arise during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond, Kimberley can offer you a collaborative, trauma-aware, brave, safe, and nurturing space to explore and address concerns such anxiety, depression, fear, feelings of loss of self, relationship issues, partner experience, body image challenges, and parenting adjustment difficulties. She can help you explore how trauma and grief reside in the body, help make the invisible visible with courage and creativity, and empower you to centre yourself as the expert of your own, unique experience.
Through evidence-based, feminist-based, relational-cultural, narrative, and person-centred counselling, Kimberley aims to help you find balance and voice during your transformative reproductive and perinatal journeys and will support you to navigate the complexities of fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, parenthood, and develop coping strategies to enhance developing connection and fulfilling relationships with self, family, expectations, and others.
Kimberley is a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology candidate, holds an MFA in Creative Writing from UBC, and has a keen interest in storytelling and the ways people choose to share stories as a way toward wellness. When she is not supporting clients, Kimberley finds enjoyment in writing short stories, working on her novel, listening to music, and spending time with her family hiking and hanging out on the dock of an old brick farmhouse in Creemore.
