Who I am

Welcome to Manna Cove— a safe haven where you will find transformative healing through a journey at Manna Cove Counselling.

Are you struggling with anxiety and depression? Do you feel stuck in your relationships? Are you looking for change but feel like you are going in circles and not making progress? Do you feel haunted by traumatic experience in the past? Life is joyful and precious but oftentimes it can throw you a curveball. How would meeting with a counsellor help? Counselling is a beautifully collaborative work where you would be invited to unfold your own story and rewrite it with new meanings. Strengths are identified, goals are met, skills are learnt, and changes are made in the safe and accepting therapeutic process.

My name is Renee (she/her) and I hold a Master of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology (MACP). I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and an EMDR trained therapist. I offer evidence-based, client-centered, and trauma-informed eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR). As a BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour) counsellor who is also a Christian believer, I integrate my therapeutic approaches and incorporate cultural and spiritual values through narrative therapy. Every story is unique, and it is my honour to be onboard your journey of healing from psychological distress and traumatic experience. I specialize in working with adult clients using EMDR treatments for anxiety, depression, and spiritual trauma. I also work with adult clients from all walks of life including diverse gender, sexual, and religious orientation.
