Coherence
Counselling & Consulting

Erinn Doncaster
BSW, MA, RSW, CCC, SEP
Founder, Director, Clinical Counsellor
Erinn (they/them) first became fascinated with the neurobiology of attachment, stress, and trauma 15 years ago in their previous career as a birth and postpartum doula, and in the intervening years of study and practice their fascination has only grown.
​
Somatically oriented and informed by polyvagal and attachment theories, Erinn brings warmth, humour, and honesty to their approach to counselling, along with an enduring belief in the inherent worth of all human beings. Whether they're working with an individual or a group, Erinn strives to meet their clients where they're at, and considers it a great privilege to walk alongside them to wherever they're going next.
When they're not running Coherence Counselling & Consulting, Erinn co-directs a choir, organizes music events, skis, kayaks, swims, and generally enjoys exploring the beautiful corner of the world they get to call home.
