Kyle Labelle is a graduate student in the Master of Counselling program at Athabasca University and is proud to call Manitoba home. As a queer settler of French descent, Kyle values authenticity, equity, and the importance of relationships in both individual and collective well-being. They view counselling therapy as a collaborative and relational process grounded in curiosity, trust, and mutual exploration.

 

Rather than seeing people as isolated problems, Kyle understands each person's experiences within the broader social, cultural, and relational contexts that shape their lives. They are especially interested in the ways thoughtful conversation, reflection, and relationship can strengthen our capacity to respond to life's challenges with greater intention and agency.

 

Kyle is particularly drawn to supporting people through periods of change, uncertainty, and transformation, including grief and loss, death and dying, and perinatal experiences. Alongside their graduate training, they bring over a decade of experience volunteering and working in crisis support, bereavement services, sexual health education, harm reduction, community-based learning, and public education. Whether someone is navigating loss, change, questions of meaning, or simply seeking a place to pause and reflect, Kyle hopes to offer a counselling relationship grounded in curiosity, collaboration, and genuine human connection.
