Catherine Jones, MSW RSW
Registered Social Worker + Psychotherapist
Hi, I'm Catherine (she/her)! First and foremost, I’m simply another human being navigating this messy, beautiful life alongside you. What a ride it can be.
My own journey includes all the joy and complexity of being a wife, mom to five, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. It’s this humanness — alongside years of professional experience — that I bring to my work as a Registered Social Worker.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting adults (18+) in community mental health, with much of my work focused on supporting women through domestic violence, addiction, chronic illness, pregnancy, postpartum, and major life transitions. In addition to private practice, I also provide community postpartum mental health support.
I’m especially passionate about pregnancy and postpartum, and am certified through Canadian Perinatal Mental Health Trainings (CC-PMH). I strive to provide the kind of support I once needed as a young mom: a space that feels safe, compassionate, grounding, and free from judgment. My hope is to help ease overwhelm, build confidence, and remind new parents that they don’t have to carry everything alone.
Whether you’re adjusting to a new baby, navigating grief, living with a diagnosis, or simply feeling overwhelmed, I offer a space to set some of that weight down and begin to heal.
Clients often describe me as warm, approachable, nonjudgmental, and easy to talk to. I see therapy as a collaborative process — your pace, your goals, your timing. You’re in the lead, and I’m alongside you offering insight, empathy, and sometimes gentle challenges. Together, we’ll untangle what feels heavy, notice patterns that may no longer be serving you, and find ways to move forward so you can feel more grounded, connected, and like yourself again.
My path to this work wasn’t linear, which is part of what makes it feel so meaningful to me now. I understand how isolating and overwhelming certain seasons of life can feel, and I also know the importance of feeling truly seen and supported within them.
In my downtime, you’ll find me at my favourite café with a flat white and a danish, gardening (mostly weeding!), attempting to outrun menopause at the gym, or spending time with my family and fur-baby.
I’m happy you’re here. Finding the right therapist matters, and I’d love to offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can see whether working together feels like a good fit.

My Full Circle Story
I couldn’t have mapped out how I got here today. This journey unfolded over 30 years, and it truly feels like a full circle moment in my life — which is exactly why my work here at Full Circle Psychotherapy feels so right.
As a teenager, two things fascinated me: babies and counselling. Anytime there was a baby around, I was the first to ask to hold them. And in grade 8, I somehow managed to make my science fair project about personality and human behaviour (though I honestly can’t remember the actual experiment!). Life, however, took a circuitous route in bringing those two passions together.
First came babies — five of them. I spent 15 years at home raising my growing family. Those years were beautiful, chaotic, exhausting, simple, overwhelming, loud, precious, boring, life-changing, and deeply imperfect all at once.
I struggled more than I ever expected to.
Looking back, I can see how hard I was striving for perfection — measuring myself against an impossible standard of motherhood that felt tied to my worth as a person. I carried an overwhelming sense of responsibility for everyone and everything, and when I inevitably fell short, I blamed myself. Daily. Because I was human.
Over time, life opened space for my other passion: counselling. Conventional timelines told me I was too late to return to school, and for a while, I almost believed that. But now, standing on the other side of it, I see things differently. There is no “too late.” There are only dreams we keep postponing and the ways we learn to hold ourselves back.
Now, after years of parenting, marriage, school, growth, struggle, and life, I find myself here: a Registered Social Worker/Psychotherapist certified in perinatal mental health, with my two passions finally aligned.
I never could have imagined, during those difficult years of early motherhood, that one day I would be supporting new parents and parents-to-be through their own transitions, struggles, and healing.
Back then, I couldn’t have mapped out the road that would bring me here.
But somehow, I’ve truly come full circle.
