Counselling
Flexible counselling options for diverse people with diverse needs.
Using your wisdom
You know best. Counselling may offer knowledge, insight and ideas. However, building an awareness and appreciation of your own inner wisdom, is also essential.
Building compassion
It’s easy to feel compassion for a child or dear friend who is in pain, but it is often much harder to show ourselves compassion. I’ll help you increase feelings of gentleness and self-love.
Finding solutions
Counselling need not hold focus on flaws. It can be about recognizing what is going well. We will focus on increasing and amplifying that positive energy within your life!
Identifying strengths
You have strengths and resiliency to help you through difficult times. You show an enormous amount of strength by seeking out experiences of healing and self development.
Rewriting your story
You define yourself by your life experiences and stories. Retelling and interpreting these stories in new ways can spark positive changes, inner growth and healing.
Reading emotions
Emotions sometimes get a bad reputation. Difficult to experience, they still can guide you toward living a fulfilling life. We can safely explore emotions at a pace that is comfortable.
Individual counselling can address:
- generalized anxiety, social anxiety
- depression, lack of motivation
- development of self, self-esteem
- boundaries, trauma
- parenting
- relationship concerns, domestic abuse
- emotional distress, anger
- eating disorders, body image

Couples counselling

Women’s group counselling
Artful Recovery: Thriving After Abuse
Art enriches our lives by helping us to understand and express more than is possible through words.
This art therapy group in Edmonton empowers women to feel more in control of their lives. By providing you with the freedom to choose materials, style and subject matter, and to create whatever you want to create, the art therapy provides distance and control. The sense of safety and containment will allow you to release built up tension and anxiety into something productive and cathartic.
During our 8-week experiential group, you may begin to:
- move away from isolation toward re-establishment of a sense of connection with others
- internalize a positive self-image and sense of autonomy
- externalize feelings by creating visual representations
- gain access to traumatic memories stored in your body
- experience a shift from surviving to thriving!
Designed for women who have experienced emotional or physical abuse, the art group will discuss:
- increasing self-esteem and confidence
- learning how to be healthy in relationships and safeguard from future abuse
- exploring ways to express and process inner thoughts and feelings related to your personal healing journey.
Teen group counselling
Strong Girls: Teen Self-Esteem & Empowerment
It’s not easy for coming-of-age girls to develop a healthy sense of self-worth, self-respect, and purpose as they prepare for their futures. In order to emerge from their teen years as strong, happy, and confident young women, girls must learn to successfully navigate new responsibilities, expectations and relationships, and often face peer pressure and negative messages about girlhood and womanhood.
Would you like to set your teen up for success, emotional intelligence and self-respect, to provide them with a strong foundation of essential information and skills for the rest of their life?
Within our Strong Girls: Teen Self-Esteem & Empowerment group, we work with teen girls to develop positive skills and strategies related to self-awareness, relationships, emotional-regulation, body image, the pursuit of personally meaningful goals. We want them to make healthy decisions, fall in love with their uniqueness, and reach their full potential in a fun, positive, interactive, and supportive group setting.
During our 10-week experiential group, your teen will begin to:
- build self-confidence & self-esteem.
- gain self-awareness & insight into her personal identity.
- set healthy boundaries, understand consent & recognize dangers in dating relationships.
- experience a heightened appreciation for her inherent value & worth.
- notice her natural resiliency and strength.
- improve emotional regulation through mindfulness and positive coping strategies.
- learn about healthy eating and body image.
- experience a safe place to build a sense of connection to her peers.
