"Anything that’s human is mentionable, and everything that is mentionable can be more manageable.
When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting and less scary. "

Our Areas of Expertise
Depression & Anxiety
Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counselling and psychotherapy, we are able to help you better cope with the symptoms, develop new perspectives, and regain the hope and joy that you deserve in your life.
Trauma & PTSD
Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. We can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing.
Relationships
Relationship counseling can be beneficial to couples who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection, in all stages of their relationship. Therapy sessions are held with both couples and in a supportive place to discuss issues and solutions to better strengthen their relationship.
Children and Adolescents
We provide psychotherapy for children and adolescents who are experiencing difficulties with their emotions or behaviour. We use a variety of techniques and methods, such as Play Therapy, Art Therapy and Talk Therapy, to help children and families understand and resolve problems, modify behaviour, and make positive changes in their lives.
