Sandy Johnston


Sandy Johnston is a Family Coach and Counsellor at Empowering Counselling Services (ECS).  ECS is a personal growth and self empowering counselling centre serving Barrie and area.  Sandy offers several counselling modalities: individual child, adult, couple, and family, as well as parenting and divorce coaching. Additionally, Sandy provides coaching for parents of children with disabilities.

At Empowering Counselling Services the therapeutic approach is one of guidance and support for each person, couple or family going through life’s challenges. 

Sandy has practiced as a mental health counsellor for several years, under the tutelage of Dr. S. Rajkhowa, a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, in Barrie. Sandy continues to offer counselling services working with children and adults through her private practice. Sandy also specializes in counselling people with disabilities.

Sandy is extremely passionate about supporting and assisting others in their emotional growth and reclaiming the power within themselves in order to have the ability to guide the direction of their life.   

My goals, passions, and ideals as a Family Coach lay in the belief of assisting people with opening minds, self advocating, and acceptance of self.  The Collaborative Team Practice approach assists people through the trauma and turmoil that separation and divorce can be, using these same ideals.
