I am Caroline Tarkowski

Welcome to Instilled Change Counselling!
My priority is to support you with enhancing your mental well-being and creating change that leaves a lasting impact on your life.

 

 

 I founded Instilled Change Counselling Inc. in 2019, which is a private counselling practice. I am a Certified Psychotherapist and Child and Youth Care Counsellor. I have over 15 years of experience working as a helping professional improving the mental health of children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of contexts. Some of these experiences include work in adolescent group care, schools, in-home support, university instruction, leadership, adult mental health, and others. My approach is client-centered, integrative, holistic, and trauma based. 

The client and therapist relationship is paramount in my approach. The focus on this relationship allows me to understand what others require to thrive and welcome lasting change. When advocacy is needed for your mental health, I am ready to support you.

 

My job is never to judge you, but to understand and support you. During our work together, I create a comfortable environment that allows you to work through sensitive and difficult topics. The suggestions and tools that I may provide you with are practical and backed up by research.

 

During my life I had to face many adversities, which have aided me in developing a strong appreciation for the importance of mental health. They have also helped me relate to others. In my personal life, I am a mother, wife, auntie, daughter and enjoy the company of animals and being in nature. I am fluent in English and Polish and continue to learn Spanish.

Feedback & Reviews

You always know just what to say or not to say to make me feel supported and heard. People who have suffered tragic losses are very fortunate to have you help on their grief journey.

Caroline, I am so appreciative of all the lessons learned and guidance given in our sessions. You are compassionate, caring and very gentle with your words.

You are a very compassionate person with an open heart and I’ve always felt very “safe” with you. You are good at what you do and I’m sure you will go on to help many, many more people in life.
