Lesley King

Registered Psychologist

Counselling therapy for Individuals and couples

Welcome to King Psychology, where I offer a unique integrated approach to healing that addresses both psychological wellbeing and physical health. As a Registered Psychologist (Practice Permit #8231) with the College of Alberta Psychologists, I specialize in creating meaningful bridges between mental health and overall wellness. My practice serves adults in-person in Calgary, and online throughout Alberta, Nunavut and Quebec. Therapy provided in both English and French.

My therapeutic approach combines evidence-based methodologies including EMDR therapy, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address relationship challenges, anxiety, trauma, chronic health conditions, and medical-related concerns. I believe in treating the whole person—not just symptoms—by understanding how our bodies hold trauma, how relationships influence healing, and how mental wellbeing impacts physical health.

Whether you’re struggling with relationship difficulties, managing a chronic health condition, overcoming dental anxiety that prevents necessary treatment, or seeking to heal from trauma, I provide a compassionate space where transformation becomes possible. My work is particularly focused on helping individuals and couples navigate the complex interplay between physical symptoms and emotional experiences, offering specialized support for those whose health challenges have affected their psychological wellbeing.

With a Bachelor of Commerce from Concordia University and a Master’s in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, I bring both clinical expertise and a practical understanding to each client relationship. I am committed to maintaining the highest standards of ethical care while providing personalized treatment that honours your unique experiences and goals for healing.
