About me

Hi, I’m Brittany MacCartney

I am a registered clinical counsellor, registered psychotherapist (qualifying) and certified holistic sex therapist with multiple years of experience working in the counselling profession.

I offer a de-stigmatizing and validating experience to help you feel supported while navigating the stickier and scarier parts of life. I seek to aid our innermost selves in feeling seen, understood, and unstuck. I support and normalise through psychoeducation, specialized training, and a deep well of compassion and empathy.

    • Emotionally Focused Therapy

    • Internal Family Systems/ Parts Work

    • Somatic

    • Trauma-Informed

    • Attachment-Based

  • Working with me you can expect humour, directness, compassion, and education paired with curiosity.

    My goal is to make therapy approachable and to make the scarier parts of our sexual functioning digestible.

    My clients often describe me as:

    • Safe and supportive

    • Non-judgmental and encouraging

    • Making therapy approachable through education and laughter

    • Creating ease and comfort for them when nervousness and discomfort are present

  • When I am not in the office you can find me snoozing with my cat on the couch, reading a book, or knitting- real grandma behaviour.
