Tessa Bourdon, MA, RP (Qualifying)
Clinical Operations Director​

As the Clinical Operations Director at The Tavi Centre, I oversee operations, and develop programs,  and clinical resources. I am also a practicing psychotherapist who sees clients for online psychotherapy, counselling, and psychodynamic coaching.

Navigating mental health can be overwhelming...
​I'm here to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to express yourself, explore, and grow. My approach is empathetic, inclusive, collaborative, and focused on helping you achieve your goals. I take a psychodynamic approach using therapeutic tools drawn from emotion-focused therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and attachment theory. Whether it's anxiety, depression, relationship challenges or other issues you're facing, I'm here to listen and help you with goal setting, tackling challenges, and developing coping strategies. Let's begin your journey toward resilience and health together.
Therapeutic Approach:
With an approach centred on openness and collaboration, my aim is to create a warm and secure environment for you. This facilitates a process of self-discovery, enabling a deeper understanding of the underlying challenges you may be facing. Simultaneously, we'll work on refining day-to-day skills such as communication and emotional awareness.
I invite you to reach out for a free initial consultation session to find out more about my practice and how we can work together to help you face your challenges and embrace growth.
