Lesley Vaters

Lesley Vaters believes that lasting change happens when people feel genuinely heard and when their own sense of what they need is treated as central to the work. A Registered Clinical Counsellor based in Mount Pearl, Newfoundland, she approaches every session as a collaboration — one in which the client’s perspective on their own wellness is not just welcomed but essential. Her training spans counselling psychology, grief and bereavement, crisis intervention, suicide prevention, and applied behaviour analysis, and she draws on that breadth to meet each person where they actually are.

Lesley works with children, teenagers, adults, couples, and families navigating a wide range of concerns — including anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, eating disorders, grief, anger, relationship breakdown, and the quiet ache of feeling unseen even when a phone is always in hand and messages never stop arriving.

Whether in person at her Mount Pearl office or through online sessions, she offers an environment that is relaxed, non-judgmental, and respectful of each person’s individuality and beliefs. Her goal is straightforward: that clients leave with a clearer sense of themselves, stronger tools for the hard moments, and a treatment plan that genuinely reflects who they are.
