Services
Individual Counselling
Life doesn’t always give us space to pause, and when emotions or stress start building, it can be hard to make sense of what you’re feeling. You might be overwhelmed, anxious, low on energy, or unsure how to move forward, even if things seem fine on the outside. Individual counselling offers a calm and supportive space where you can unpack what’s been going on and feel genuinely heard. This is not about fixing you or rushing through solutions. It’s about slowing down, getting clear on what matters, and finding small, steady steps toward feeling more grounded and connected to yourself. Whether you’re facing something specific or just know that things don’t feel right, this is a place to begin understanding yourself in a new way.
Who This Is For
You’ve been feeling stuck, stressed, or unsure how to move forward
Couples Counselling
Relationships can feel complicated, especially when communication starts to break down or connection begins to fade. You might find yourselves stuck in the same arguments, avoiding certain conversations, or feeling more like roommates than partners. Couples counselling provides a space where both of you can feel heard, supported, and better understood. This process is not about assigning blame or choosing sides. It is about uncovering the patterns that are getting in the way, learning how to communicate with more care, and finding your way back to each other with honesty and intention.
Who This Is For
Anxiety and Depression Support
Living with anxiety or depression can make everyday life feel heavy and exhausting. It might take all your energy just to get out of bed or keep up appearances, even when everything inside feels numb or overwhelming. This type of support gives you space to explore what is going on beneath the surface and to begin understanding your experience with more clarity and care. Together, we look at what has been weighing on you and begin to explore ways to ease that load. You do not have to face this alone, and there is no pressure to have it all figured out before reaching out.
Who This Is For
Youth Counselling
The youth years can be full of change, uncertainty, and pressure from all directions. Between school demands, shifting friendships, family tension, and questions around identity, it is easy for young people to feel overwhelmed or misunderstood. Youth counselling creates a space where they can talk freely, without judgment, and explore what they are going through in a way that feels safe and respectful. This support is tailored to meet them where they are, helping them build confidence, emotional awareness, and tools for coping with challenges. It is also a space where caregivers can better understand how to show up and support their youth during these important years.
Who This Is For
Your youth seems anxious, withdrawn, angry, or overwhelmed
You’re a parent or caregiver looking for ways to better support your youth
Trauma and Violence-Informed Therapy
The effects of trauma are not always left in the past. They can stay with you in your body, in your emotions, in relationships, and in how you move through the world each day. Trauma therapy offers a space where your experiences are respected and your healing process is never rushed or forced. We focus on creating a sense of safety, working at your pace, and helping you regain connection to your inner strength and voice. Healing is not about erasing what happened, but about finding new ways to carry it with more ease and self-compassion.
