Bee Kind Counselling

Bee Kind Counselling offers a variety of therapeutic services for those living in Ontario Canada. I am a registered social worker with my BSW and MSW.

We provide support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, BPD, bipolar disorder, relationship issues, anger management, LGBTQ+ issues and more. About Bee Kind Counselling

My name is Bre Traverse, I identify as a cis-gendered female with pronouns of she/her and of Qalipu Mi'kmaq First Nation descent. I am actively a part of the LGBTQ+ community and am an ally to many other communities. Opening my own private practice was always a goal I strived towards. My goal is to help you find healthy coping skills that you can implement in your everyday lives. Bee Kind Counselling is a safe space for all gender identities, sexual orientations, races, and cultural backgrounds. The name "Bee Kind Counselling" originates from my name Bre, short form "B" and my love for all kinds of people promoting the need to be kind to each and every person as you never know what they may be experiencing. Life can get difficult, and sometimes a little help from a professional Psychotherapist/person with lived experience can make things better. I care about your well-being and provide you all the tools you need in order to seize the day and learn how to tackle even the most traumatic circumstances.

Do you find yourself putting off tasks you know are important, even when deadlines are looming?

You’re not lazy, unmotivated, or failing.
Procrastination is often a signal from your brain that you need support, structure, or gentler strategies.

Feeling stuck, anxious, or frustrated with yourself doesn’t mean something is “wrong” with you. Recognizing the cognitive and emotional patterns behind procrastination is the first step toward responding with understanding instead of self-criticism.

At Bee Kind Counselling, we provide trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming therapy to help you identify the root causes of procrastination, build practical strategies tailored to your brain, and develop self-compassion along the way. Reclaim your time and your confidence, one step at a time.

Ever sit in a therapy session and feel like you’re just “winging it”?

Therapy can feel intimidating, especially if past experiences have left you unsure, anxious, or hesitant to share.

At Bee Kind Counselling, we provide trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming therapy that helps you feel supported, understood, and empowered to navigate your sessions with confidence.

Do you feel like something is holding you back from opportunities, goals, or even expressing yourself fully?

You’re not alone. Holding yourself back often stems from fear, past criticism, perfectionism, or internalized messages, not from a lack of skill, intelligence, or potential.

It can show up as procrastination, overthinking, avoiding recognition, or constantly seeking permission to act.

The good news?

These patterns can be unlearned.

By identifying limiting beliefs, building self-trust, and practicing confident communication, you can reclaim your voice and step into your potential without guilt, judgment, or fear.

At Bee Kind Counselling, we provide trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming therapy to help you break self-limiting patterns, honour your needs, and confidently take steps toward your goals.

Have you ever caught yourself asking, “What’s wrong with me?”

Maybe you were taught that self-awareness means identifying flaws, correcting behaviours, or pushing yourself to “do better.”

Over time, this can turn reflection into self-criticism and curiosity into shame.

But the truth is that self-awareness is about understanding why you respond the way you do, especially when stress, trauma, or neurodivergence are involved.

When you begin to replace self-blame with understanding, compassion becomes possible.
And from compassion, real healing can begin.

At Bee Kind Counselling, we support you in building self-understanding without judgment.

Conflict can feel overwhelming, and sometimes your brain literally shuts down, leaving you numb, blank, or reactive. Neurodivergent and trauma-affected adults often experience this more intensely, as the nervous system interprets disagreement or tension as a threat.

Slowing your breath, grounding through your senses, and giving yourself permission to pause can help you stay present and respond with clarity rather than shutdown. These strategies support emotional regulation and prevent guilt or self-criticism.

At Bee Kind Counselling, we provide trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming therapy to help you navigate conflict, strengthen your nervous system regulation, and cultivate self-compassion in challenging interactions.

When thoughts start racing or overwhelm takes over, your brain may enter a spiral that feels uncontrollable. This is common in anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and neurodivergent experiences.

Interrupting the spiral gently can help you regain calm and clarity. Here’s how:
🐝 Notice early signs like racing thoughts or tension.
🐝 Take deep, grounding breaths.
🐝 Break tasks into micro-steps to reduce overload.
🐝 Use your senses to reconnect with the present.
🐝 Replace self-criticism with self-compassion.
🐝 Reach out to supportive people if needed.
🐝 Redirect attention gently instead of forcing control.
🐝 Remind yourself that spirals are temporary.

At Bee Kind Counselling, we provide neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed therapy to help you understand brain patterns, manage overwhelm, and develop strategies that support your nervous system.

Emotional flashbacks can feel overwhelming and confusing, leaving you reacting intensely to the present as if you were back in the past. Neurodivergent and trauma-affected adults often experience these responses more strongly, but recognizing them is the first step toward self-understanding and regulation.

Pause, ground yourself, and name the feeling to remind your nervous system that you are safe now. Small, intentional strategies can help you navigate these moments without shame or guilt.

At Bee Kind Counselling, we provide trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming therapy to help you recognize emotional flashbacks, develop grounding tools, and cultivate self-compassion and emotional resilience.

Feeling pressured by New Year's expectations? You are not alone.

Society encourages reinvention, big goals, and perfection in January, but you do not need a new you.

Prioritizing rest, self-compassion, and small, sustainable steps is more important than drastic change.

Embracing gentleness and patience with yourself allows for meaningful growth and emotional well-being. Self-care is not a resolution. It is a practice.

At Bee Kind Counselling, we provide trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming support to help you enter the new year with self-compassion, rest, and grounding.
