Tonya Shankle

Tonya is an incredible counsellor and therapist. Through her support and guidence I was able to overcome the challenges I had in the aftermath of a life changing event and learn more about myself to help me move on from it in a positive manner. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I am so thankful that I found Tonya! She is very considerate of what I want to discuss and work on, and she brings a variety techniques to our sessions to find something that works. She has been so helpful.

I’ve had one session so far and it was fantastic.

Tonya makes me feel so understood. She helps me find the clarity I need by guiding me and my emotions. I feel such a difference already after a couple of meetings already.

I think I answered a couple if the quick answer Qs wrong!

Tonya is amazing and my experience of her is all the very best!!!

I'm in a rush and my eyes were bouncing a bit and I think I answered at the wrong end of the spectrum on a couple. grrr....

Tonya has been an amazing support through a difficult time in my life!

Tonya is marvelous. Started out with her in couples therapy then transferred over to here and asked to be matched with her for single therapy because we liked her so much.

Tonya is amazing and supportive councellor who has helped and guided me through my anxiety and mental health. She provides a range of tools, training and guidance to help you and is always there for a call or a chat. I would highly recommend her!

When I came to therapy I knew I had some issues to sort through. Tonya has been a guide to lead me in the direction to find more inner peace in my life. Finding a therapist was one of the best things I’ve ever done, and I’m extremely grateful to have been paired with Tonya.

Tonya has been wonderful. She’s really helped me to manage my anxiety and we’re successfully working through some past trauma. She’s a positive person and has a kind demeanor. I really enjoy having her as a therapist and would highly recommend her to others.

Tonya has been a godsend for me - my life has been so different since I’ve had someone to guide me and keep me accountable in my healing and growth. She always makes me feel heard and understood and I would definitely recommend her to friends!

Tonya had given me great guidance in how to maintain positive habits and improve ways in processing my thoughts and feelings. CBT is now no longer a psychology jargon to me but a workable technique that I understand and use. She gave me very helpful tips around how to actually apply mindful techniques, especially on how to be more self-aware of the trigger points to our irrational thoughts and understanding how it affects our emotions and behaviours on a day to day basis. After each session, I felt the sense of relief acknowledging that there are ways to cope and handle the negativity that I had experienced from the result of my own thinking patterns and judgement. For my treatment, Tonya focused more on the present onwards. Her approach is forward thinking rather than focusing on things we can no longer change in our past. She taps into the ways we can change our habits for the better through self initiated actions and having full accountability of the results based on the work we put in, I think this is especially effective for those with addictive tendencies who are willing to go through the hurdles and work towards bettering themselves. I highly recommend working with Tonya.

My experience with Tonya has been excellent. In a variety areas she has gently directed me towards effective strategies to improve my well being. In particular, she has been extremely patient with the pace of my explanations and understanding about my need to narrate my problems at length.

I'm very happy to have engaged with Tonya through BetterHelp, and she represents one of the best reasons I have to recommend this experience to others.

After now a few months of working with Tonya, it has been a true delight having her as my counselor. Extremely kind, understanding yet knows how to be stern when I am being irrational. My weekly sessions with her were something I grew to look forward to! Truly, anyone who gets matched with her is in for a treat! Wonderful experience with her!

I think Tonya is a great counsellor and has really helped me over the past few months. I find it very easy to talk to Tonya and she eases any stresses I have.

Great counselor. It feels like safe space to air your thoughts and feelings. Tonya has a way of asking the right questions and giving you the space to process and observe your own words while still keeping a light atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Tonya is incredible, I highly recommend speaking with her, she is very professional and personable and easy to talk to.

Tonya professionalism shows in her work, she is caring, understanding and has provided me with a number of ideas and information I can use to work on myself and my mental health. I have been feeling a lot better since starting my councelling sessions with Tonya.
