So, Who's Behind the Compass?
I'm glad you're here.
Â
My name is Whitney-Amanda Britten. I'm a proud Florida A&M University alum, Black Girl Magic enthusiast, and counsellor with over 18 years of experience supporting adults, children, and families. In 2014, I Carmen-Sandiego'd my way from the United States and began a journey that would take me across five countries, working with people from a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and life stages.
​
I started this practice because I know what it's like to figure out who you are, where you belong, and what you want, all while feeling so far from where you consider "home." I also know what it's like to want support from someone who genuinely understands.
​
Between my own life experience and years in this field, I've learned that the messiest parts of the journey are usually where the real growth happens. I bring all of that, the curiosity, the culture, the quirk, into every session.
​
Expertise & Values
Psychosocial Support
I draw on my training in cognitive behavioural, solution-focused, and strengths-based techniques, pulling from each depending on what you need. Because support should fit you, not the other way around.
1:1 Counselling
Think less clinical office, more real talk with someone you trust. I bring warmth, honesty, and accountability to every session, the kind of ease that typically comes from talking to someone you've known for years.
Cultural Competency
With over 18 years working with people from all over the world, I bring genuine understanding to clients working through questions of identity, belonging, and everyday mental and emotional wellbeing.
Professional Integrity
Trained, insured, and held to established professional standards, so the space we build together is one you can actually trust.
​
Only one way to find out.
No pitch, no pressure, just a good conversation to see if this feels right for you.
