Shante Kenyi

I am a Registered Social Worker with a Master of Social Work and extensive experience supporting individuals through stress, trauma, and emotional challenges. For the past seven years, I have worked as an Emergency Communications Officer, where I served as the first point of contact for people experiencing crisis, distress, and acute emotional overwhelm. This role strengthened my ability to stay calm under pressure, provide grounding support, and assess risk quickly and accurately. In addition to my crisis-response background, I completed a 950-hour clinical counselling practicum, where I provided ongoing therapy to clients using evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioural strategies, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-informed care. I have experience supporting individuals dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, grief, and life transitions. My style is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental. I believe in meeting clients where they are, helping them identify their strengths, and working together to develop practical, achievable strategies for change. Whether through chat or video sessions, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.
