Bruce Avery | MCP, RCC, CST

My name is Bruce Avery and I’m a Sex Therapist and the Founder of Stellium Sex Therapy. I provide counselling using approaches rooted in trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, pleasure-focused care.

I believe sexuality is a foundational element of the human experience that influences our sense of self, our physical and wellbeing, and our interpersonal relationships. By deepening our connection to sexuality, we can gain self-trust, self-confidence, and self-compassion.

At the moment, Bruce’s waitlist is closed and he is only providing education and consultation to sex therapists and students.

Chantal Esperanza | RCC

I work with individuals who struggle feeling safe in their human experience. There might be an emotion, sensation, belief, or experience that carries an unbearable weight that over time we find ourselves wading in the waters of disconnection and defeat.

My work is rooted in the principles of humanistic existentialism, Buddhist psychology, interpersonal neurobiology, and anti-oppressive ideologies. I hold each client as the expert of their own lives, and I strive to meet them with unbridled curiosity, warmth, and respect.

Jaylynn Henry | RCC

My hope is that my clients feel safe to be vulnerable and use the therapeutic space however they need to. My philosophies around counselling in general are that the client should be met with respect and unconditional positive regard.

The counselling space is the one place in the world where there are no rules or judgement and we can say or feel whatever we want to, and that should be cherished and supported.
