We’re excited to share that Hope Centered Counselling is taking part in Habitat for Humanity’s Women’s Build Day this October! 👷‍♀️
This special event brings women together to build safe, affordable homes for families in our community. 🏡💛 As a business, we’ve already donated $100 to kickstart our fundraising, but we need to raise at least $300 to take part — and our hope is to go above and beyond that goal.
✨ Here’s how you can help:
Donate directly through our fundraising link https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/fundraising/janeen-weatherhead — every contribution makes a real difference in creating homes and hope right here in Centre Wellington.
Together, we can build something beautiful for families who need it most. Thank you for supporting our community! 💪💙

Parents & caregivers, this one’s for you 💛 The ND Circle with Janeen is starting in October, and the full year’s schedule is now posted so you can see the topics we’ll be covering at each biweekly drop-in group.
Each evening we’ll dig into a different theme around parenting and supporting neurodivergent kids, youth, and young adults. It’s a space to connect, learn, and breathe a little easier knowing you’re not doing this alone.
There are only 10 spots each night, so if you see a topic that speaks to you, go ahead and reserve your spot here: 👉 https://hopecenteredcounselling.ca/therapy-groups-workshops-fergus-elora/
Big thanks to and .ca for helping spread the word 🫶

✨ Meet Elizabeth ✨
Elizabeth is a Level 2 Gottman-trained couples therapist who loves helping partners build stronger connections—especially when one or both are neurodivergent.

She’s also leading Navigating the Political Landscape on Sept 17th—a group for q***r folks to come together, share experiences, and find support in today’s challenging political climate.

💬 Reach out to learn more or to join the group.

✨ Meet Ali ✨
We’re so excited to welcome Ali Darling RP (Qualifying) to our team! 💛
Ali is passionate about supporting people through the vulnerable, messy, and empowering parts of life. She works with folks navigating grief, loss, identity, relationships, self-esteem, sexuality, and intimacy. Her approach is warm, collaborative, and client-centred—offering a safe, affirming space where you can bring all the messy, complicated parts of yourself and lay them down without apology.
Ali is a neuro-affirming and q***r-affirming therapist who works from an intersectional lens, recognizing the broader contexts of race, gender, and culture. She draws from ACT, CBT, DBT, EFT, and somatic techniques—always tailoring therapy to fit you, not the other way around.
Outside of session, Ali loves painting, music, gardening, and cooking, and is happiest spending cozy nights at home with loved ones, board games, or a good movie. 🎨🌿🎶
We’re thrilled to have Ali on our team and can’t wait for you to meet her!

An amazing friend of mine is hosting this beautiful retreat in September for those of us women who don’t have the emotional support of a mother, weather due to loss, distance, illness, emotional absence, or other. This is your space to rest, receive, and reconnect with the strength and softness that is within you.

For those who don’t have the emotional support of a mother, whether due to loss, distance, illness, emotional absence, or other. This is your space to rest, receive, and reconnect with the strength and softness within you.

Sign up for our therapy group July 9th: NAVIGATING THE POLITICAL LANDSCAPE AS A MEMBER OF THE Q***R COMMUNITY.

Coming together to share our experiences, insights, and coping strategies about a specific topic impacting our community. Together we can get through this!

This structured group is facilitated by our lovely, beautifully q***r therapist Elizabeth (Liz) she/her, who was manning the Hope Centered Counselling booth at our amazing CW Pride Celebration June 14th. This group starts Wednesday July 9th, 2025, from 6-9pm, bi-weekly, for 6 sessions in our Fergus office location. Journals and pens provided.

Some of the guided topics to expect are: our current political climate in Canada and America, it's impact on mental health and marginalized people, social media impacts, what it means to be q***r in environments such as church, school, and work, the charter of human rights & freedoms, the ministry of labour, other protective laws for q***r folk, identity, and we have also planned flexibility so that you can contribute to topic development. You will be given professional guidance and tools to help you navigate your experience and mental health.

Here at Hope Centered Counselling we strive to be the #1 safe space in Centre Wellington for all your q***r therapy needs, and we are very much looking forward to sharing this experience with you, and supporting you through this complicated topic.

The cost is approximately $11.66 per 3 hour evening, pennies in comparison to a single therapy session. Total payment $210 is due on the start date July 9th. If the lump sum payment makes attending the group inaccessible for you, please email our Owner & Founder Janeen at janeen.counselling@gmail.com to make alternative arrangements.

Sign up today to reserve your spot! Please send us an email to elizabeth.hopecc@gmail.com and provide us with your name, email and phone number, saying you would like to sign up to the group.

Thank you,
The team at Hope Centered Counselling (HCC)
