Virtuous Circle Counselling

Feeling “off” in the winter is common — but feeling trapped, hopeless, or unable to function may be something more than seasonal mood shifts.

You deserve support, not silent suffering. 💙

If you notice persistent symptoms, consider speaking with a healthcare professional or mental health counsellor.

Your experiences are real, valid, and treatable.

This weekend our community came together in the most beautiful way.

Santa’s Holiday Stop, presented by Virtuous Circle Counselling, families, and an incredible team of our VCC volunteers, all joining to celebrate connection, joy, and the spirit of giving back.

From free family photos with Santa, to cookie decorating, crafts, our Chill-Out Corner with the Calgary Police Service Victim Assistance Support Dogs, and the warm buzz of neighbours gathering together… it was magical!

A huge thank you to:
🎄 Our amazing volunteers in their ugly Christmas sweaters.
🎅 Our Santa & Elf.
🐾 The Victim Assistance Support Team & their comfort dogs.
❤️ All the families who came out and filled the room with joy.
🎁 Everyone who donated to HomeFront, supporting families facing domestic violence during the toughest time of year.

It reminded us why we do this work: connection, care, and creating change - one conversation at a time.

We can’t wait to make this an annual tradition. 💜

Save this for later 🌿 Peace isn’t something you stumble upon—it’s something you practice every day. By noticing the little things, appreciating what you have, and slowing down, you can invite more calm and balance into your life. Our counsellors can guide you toward mindful practices that make peace a habit.

Starting therapy can feel very different than we expect.

Sustained change takes time and we are complex beings with so many different facets and experiences; We encourage you to give yourself kindness and grace on this new possibly uncomfortable journey.

Today, we honour the strength, voices, and experiences of people with disabilities - visible and invisible.

When we design spaces, communities, and conversations with inclusion at the centre, everyone benefits.

Because every ability holds value. Every person deserves dignity.

Let’s continue learning, advocating, and creating a world where all abilities can thrive. 💙

We asked two of our therapists to share their spiciest mental health hot takes… and wow, did they deliver 🔥

Some of these might make you nod… and some might hit a little too close to home 👀


But if they spark reflection or a good conversation, we’re all for it. Which one made you stop and think? Tell us in the comments 👇

It’s always a good practice to try and look at your situation from different perspectives… but there are some situations that no matter how you look at it, it just sucks. In those moments, we will sit with you through it and be there to chat about it when you need.

Bullying isn’t always visible. The wounds it leaves often live beneath the surface in anxiety, low self-esteem, or the quiet fear of never being enough.

💙 You don’t have to see the bruise to feel the hurt.

Bullying doesn’t always leave a mark—but it always leaves an impact.

Let’s stand together to create safer, kinder spaces—online, at school, and in our communities.
