Tarja Yuill
Registered Psychotherapist
I am a Registered Psychotherapist and independent contractor here at Rebound. I am a compassionate, empathic and understanding individual. I value connection and my desire to help those in need has always been a calling of mine. It is my objective to assist others in moving from survival to thriving no matter what the circumstances. I have completed my Master of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology through Yorkville University and have been certified by an EMDRIA-approved Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) program. I have experience counselling couples and individuals of all ages. Issues range from relational issues, family of origin issues, trauma, depression and anxiety, to OCD, PTSD and C-PTSD, self-esteem, and addiction.
You’re ready to get to where you want to be and feel better about your future self & relationships. I want to help you get there.

Working With Me
I hope to connect with clients so they can feel safe and relaxed, without judgement and comfortable opening up. I am easy to talk to and open-minded whose goal is to help you find solutions to your issues
Worth Mentioning
As clients decide who they want to work with for counselling, there’s lots to take into consideration! Here are some additional perks you should know of!
Non Judgmental: I strive to create an accepting and understanding atmosphere where you feel comfortable exploring your thoughts and feelings without judgement. I approach each individual with empathy and an open mind, fostering a non-judgmental space that allows for authentic self-discovery and growth.
Solutions Focused: My focus is to help you feel better as soon as possible by helping you identify and implement practical solutions to your challenges. My therapeutic style is rooted in collaboration and empowerment, aimed at helping you build resilience and achieve lasting positive changes in your life.
Warmth: I have been described as a warm person who is easy to open up to. My easygoing nature will allow you to feel comfortable opening up where you feel heard and supported. My approach is grounded in compassion, providing a comforting environment that encourages open expression and promotes a sense of trust and connection
What does a session with me look like?
The atmosphere is relaxed. I enjoy getting to know my clients and hope they can feel respected and at ease. I will typically do a history gathering interview and then collaboratively discuss a treatment plan that we can alter as we work together.

My Approach
By tailoring my approach to each client I am able to fit the specific needs of each individual.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
In order to address certain adverse behaviours or reactions, we must first understand the relationships between our thoughts, feelings, and physical reactions. We will identify, explore, and question the functions of distorted thinking to disrupt unhelpful patterns and develop practical tools and skills to cope in a way that is helpful for you.
EMDR
A trauma-focused approach in which the client focuses on a trauma memory, while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (eye movements). This allows for reduction in the emotion and distress associated with the trauma memories.
Solution-Focused
A goal-directed, collaborative approach aimed at addressing your current problems and providing adequate solutions based on your lifestyle. Together, we will develop solutions instead of focusing primarily on problems.
Person-Centered Therapy
Recognizing the motivation to achieve personal wellness, and positive functioning, person-centred therapy focuses on facilitating a client’s own awareness and building of skills, guiding them on their own journey, rather than directing it.
