Meet Keisha Virago

Registered Professional Counsellor 

I spent a good chunk of my life in survival mode and have been attending counselling since I was nine—typical “problem child,” right? In hindsight, those early experiences gave me the gift of emotional awareness from a young age, and they’ve shaped the work I do today as a professional counsellor.

​

Having struggled with addiction for a good chunk of my life, I know firsthand how difficult it can be to forgive ourselves for the things we did in order to survive. That’s why I focus my work on trauma, addiction, and suicide/crisis intervention—helping clients move out of survival and into a place of safety, self-trust, and acceptance.

​

Many of the clients I work with are in the process of (or have already) gone no contact—with family, exes, or anyone else who no longer feels safe. It’s not an easy path, but it can be a liberating one. I support my clients in unlearning the painful stories and internalized beliefs that were never really theirs to begin with. Together, we rewrite those narratives and reconnect with the version of you that existed before the world told you who to be.

​

I use a blend of DBT, EFT, and Somatic Therapy to explore the mind-body-soul connection, creating space to feel, process, and integrate what’s been carried for too long. I received my Professional Counselling Diploma from Rhodes Wellness College, where I trained in CBT, SFT, Narrative, Existential, Adlerian Therapy, and more.

​

My style is intuitive, playful, and rooted in deep compassion. I believe when we feel safe in our bodies and free from the shackles of our past, we can create our dream reality. We are not what’s happened to us—we are who we choose to become.

​

I’m here to help you remember who you truly are, on a soul level.
