My Story

Hi, my name is Karen Davaz. I am a Health & Wellness Coach and a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, specializing in emotional health support and personal well-being. With certifications in Counselling Hypnotherapy and Therapeutic Counselling, I offer a holistic, client-centered approach to help individuals navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence and resilience.

I support clients in managing stress, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and negative thought patterns, guiding them toward healthier habits and a more balanced mindset. My work focuses on emotional well-being, personal growth, and inner healing, helping individuals cultivate self-awareness, build resilience, and foster a sense of purpose.

Trained in trauma-informed coaching, habit change, and wellness strategies, I integrate counselling skills, coaching techniques, and hypnotherapy to empower clients in areas such as stress management, self-esteem, relationships, and overall mental and emotional wellness. My approach is compassionate and practical, designed to support lasting transformation.

Whether you’re looking for emotional support, mindset shifts, or holistic strategies to enhance your well-being, I am here to guide and support you on your journey

My approach to therapy is deeply rooted in the belief that everyone has the ability to make positive changes in their lives. I work with my clients to identify their strengths and values, and then use a variety of techniques to help them overcome any obstacles that may be holding them back.

In addition to traditional counselling methods, I also use wellness and therapeutic coaching in my practice. Therapeutic coaching involves working with the body to release tension and trauma, which can be an incredibly powerful tool in helping my clients to heal and move forward.

Root Cause Therapy helps people understand and heal from their presenting issues whether it be mental health, anxiety, addiction, behavioral. It gives you the room to tune in to your emotions allowing you to release any emotions that do not serve any purpose. Hypnotherapy can help you unlearn negative patterns and focus on a more positive and healthy state.

Hypnotherapy is a way of communication with your subconscious mind for effective and positive changes. I apply my counselling skills to ensure that I provide the best outcome.

I believe that achieving a balanced and healthy lifestyle requires a holistic and therapeutic approach that addresses all aspects of a person’s life. This means not just focusing on physical health, but also on emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.

One of my main areas of focus is helping parents and individuals to manage the stress and challenges that come with every day life .I work with them to develop coping strategies, set boundaries, and prioritize self-care so that they can be the best version of themselves for their families.

I also work with individuals who are struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Through a combination of coaching, counseling, and therapy, I help them to build resilience, confidence, and a sense of purpose in their lives.

Ultimately, my goal as a counselling hypnotherapist is to empower my clients to take charge of their own lives and make the changes they need to live a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life. I believe that everyone has the potential to thrive, and it is my privilege to be a part of that journey.

Embarking on a journey with me at Unique Minds Counselling offers you a supportive and nurturing environment where your individual needs are prioritized. By considering your inner-world, I facilitate a therapeutic outcome that leads to healing and transformation. Clients appreciate my kind nature and dedication to helping others. I strive to inspire, uplift, and assist my clients throughout their journey.

When working together, we might explore various topics, such as moving past pain, cultivating emotional awareness, overcoming setbacks, setting boundaries, and embracing mindfulness and a positive mindset. These additional areas of focus will enrich our collaboration and contribute to your personal growth and well-being.

I’d like to share why I’ve chosen this journey. This path has become my calling and my passion. As a parent to an autistic boy, I can truly empathize with the emotions of others, their situations, and what they are going through.

I’ve had my fair share of moments where I felt isolated and even ashamed as a parent. I found myself comparing my child to others, constantly asking, “Why me?” or “Why my child?” Despite the incredible support network we had, these feelings persisted. I did everything in my power to support my son while also balancing the demands of being a parent, working, and, at one point, even being my son’s school aide. However, it all became overwhelming.

Through working with a Life Coach who was also trained in counseling and various therapies, I underwent a transformation. I became more optimistic about life and realized that therapy and coaching are not just for those with significant past traumas but are valuable for everyone’s overall well-being. Coaching and therapy helped me find balance in my life, enabling me to be an even better parent to my son.

My mission as a life coach and counseling hypnotherapist is to be a guiding light, a supportive presence, and a compassionate listener for others. I want to help them navigate the highs and lows of life, just as I have experienced, so they too can enjoy a more fulfilling life.

I do not provide services to anyone with a mental health diagnose unless recommended by a family physician. I provide services to people that do not require the support of a licensed medical professional. I enjoy learning and making sure I have the right trainings and knowledge to be able to work with my clients on a deeper level giving them the support and guidance they deserve for a successful outcome.

I offer online therapeutic services. During our consultation, we’ll need to confirm the counseling regulations in your area. By adhering to these standards, I can provide the best possible support and maintain the integrity of the therapeutic process. This also helps in determining if coaching or another therapeutic approach would be a better fit.

About me

I bring many years of both personal and professional experience to my work, and I deeply understand the pain of living with grief and feeling uncared for. I lost my father at a time in my life when I was just beginning to discover the meaning of life. Shortly afterward, I became a mother to my brilliant, sweet autistic son.

Through my own journey of managing grief, I gradually found joy again and gained the tools I needed to be there for myself and my son. I know how emotional and overwhelming this journey can be—whether it’s dealing with grief, navigating life transitions, or struggling with well-being.

Over the years, through life coaching and counselling studies, I have learned effective ways to support others. I’ve had the privilege of helping many people overcome difficult moments, find clarity, and build healthier, more balanced lives. My approach is warm, compassionate, and practical. I work collaboratively with my clients, exploring positive strategies and tools that truly fit their lives.

People don’t come to me because of a certain title or certificate alone—they come because they feel my genuine care, lived experience, and knowledge around health, wellness, and emotional well-being. I love what I do, and I’m committed to continually upgrading my education so I can best support the people I work with. I am also currently pursuing a degree in psychology to deepen my knowledge in the helping field.

* During our consultation, we’ll confirm the counselling regulations in your area. This ensures that I provide support in a way that aligns with professional standards, while also helping determine whether coaching or another approach is the best fit for you.
