About Me

Philippa Hamson
MC, CCC, RP



I am a seasoned therapist with over two decades of experience in the mental health field. I completed my undergraduate degree from York University and pursued my passion further by earning my master's degree from the University of Lethbridge. I became a Certified Canadian Counsellor with the Canadian Counselling Association in 2010 and I have been a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario since 2015, ensuring the highest standards of care for my clients. YRPCS was established in 2010 and has been proudly serving Keswick and surrounding areas since.

My expertise covers a range of issues including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, passivity, relationship ambivalence, trauma, and anger management. I am also skilled in counseling couples with regards to healthy communication, affair recovery, and enhancing emotional and physical intimacy.

As your counsellor, I am committed to helping you achieve meaningful change using a gentle yet direct approach. My skills lie in providing unconditional acceptance, empathic understanding, and asking thought-provoking questions that bring new perspective to your experience and highlight neglected or forgotten dreams, hopes, and values. My counselling philosophy is rooted in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy yet I integrate various therapeutic approaches to assist you in achieving the goal(s) that prompted you to seek counselling. Take the first step towards growth and change by contacting me today.
