Caroline N.J. Winship

Caroline Winship is a registered Psychotherapist and lifelong Northerner with deep roots in Gillam, Grand Rapids, Wabowden and Thompson, Manitoba.

She brings a genuine understanding of the strengths and challenges faced by individuals and families in Northern and rural communities.

Before entering the mental health field, Caroline spent fifteen years home-educating her children and advocating for neurodiverse learners, including serving as the Northern Representative for the Autism Society of Manitoba. This lived experience continues to shape her compassionate, person-centered approach to counselling.

Caroline’s professional background includes roles with the Canadian Mental Health Association, Hope North Recovery Centre for Youth and Frontier School Division, supporting adults, youth and children experiencing mental health crises, housing instability, and complex life transitions.

She is especially passionate about trauma-informed, culturally responsive care that honours the whole person — supporting mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical wellbeing.

In 2025, Caroline founded Galia Wellness Services to improve access to affordable, holistic mental health care in Manitoba. She also works full-time as a school counsellor in Wabowden, MB. Master of Counselling (M.Couns.)
