Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviour connect.
20+Years in counselling
Sierra Jones
Registered Psychotherapist, C.S. Counselling & Consulting Services
Sierra has spent more than five years working with people whose difficulties do not fit into a clear category.
Children whose behaviour was being described as a problem before anyone asked what was driving it. Teenagers navigating a diagnosis. Adults who reached thirty before anyone suggested that the way their brain works might explain a lot. Families trying to support someone without quite understanding what they are going through.
Her background is in behavioural psychology, which tends to produce a particular habit of mind: looking at what a behaviour is achieving for someone before deciding it needs to stop.

What “Qualifying” Means
A recognized stage of professional registration.
Sierra is registered with CRPO in the Qualifying category. This is a recognized stage of registration for psychotherapists who have completed their core training and are building supervised practice hours toward full registration.
In practice it means two things. She is regulated by the same college and held to the same professional and ethical standards as other registrants. And her clinical work is overseen by an experienced supervisor, which means a second professional perspective on the work.
Her registration can be verified through the CRPO public register.
What You Can Talk About With Sierra
Depending on your needs and her professional scope, counselling with Sierra may include:
Anxiety and excessive worry
Depression and low mood
Living with ADHD and its practical and emotional weight
Autism Spectrum Disorder and support for autistic people and their families
Neurodivergence, including late recognition in adulthood
Behavioural challenges, particularly in children and adolescents
Stress and emotional regulation
Self-esteem and self-confidence
Grief and loss
Relationship and family difficulties
LGBTQ+ and identity-related concerns
Life transitions and adjustment
Career and educational concerns
Counselling is not the same as a diagnostic assessment. Where an assessment would be useful, Sierra will discuss that with you rather than working around it.
Neurodivergence and the People Around It
A good deal of Sierra's experience sits with people who are neurodivergent and with the families supporting them.
That work often has two halves. One is practical, covering the strategies that make a day workable rather than exhausting. The other is the accumulated experience of being told for years that you are not trying hard enough, when in fact you were trying considerably harder than everyone around you.
For parents, the questions are usually different. How to support without taking over. What is worth pushing on and what is not? What to do about school. How to stop every conversation from becoming about the diagnosis.
The starting point in either case is not fixing how someone's brain works.
Her Approach
Sierra describes her approach as integrative and client-centred, which means she works according to what a person needs rather than applying a single method to everyone.
Depending on your needs and her training, she may draw on:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Focuses less on eliminating difficult thoughts and more on acting according to what matters while they are present.
DBT-informed strategies
For managing intense emotions and tolerating distress.
Person-centred therapy
You lead the direction of the work.
Solution-focused brief therapy
Building on what already works rather than only examining what is wrong.
Mindfulness and behavioural strategies
Emotional regulation and behavioural strategies informed by her behavioural psychology background.
Psychoeducation
Explaining what is going on in an actually useful way, particularly with a new diagnosis.
Is Sierra the Right Therapist for Me?
She may be a particularly suitable fit if you are looking for someone who brings:
- Experience across children, teenagers, adults, and families
- A strong grounding in behavioural psychology
- Experience with ADHD, autism, and neurodivergence
- Experience with LGBTQ+ and identity-related concerns
- A practical, strategy-focused style alongside emotional support
- Familiarity with supporting a whole family rather than one person in isolation
If you are unsure, the free consultation is a conversation about what has been happening, not a commitment. Part of its purpose is to help you work out who the right person is for you to see.
If the fit is not right once you have started, say so.
