Pause for a moment and notice how you speak to yourself today.

The way you speak to yourself matters more than what anyone else says.

Let your inner dialogue be one of love, power, and confidence because you deserve the same kindness you offer others.

Valentine’s Day is often centred around romantic love, but love exists in many forms.

It can be found in friendships that offer support and laughter, in family relationships that provide care and connection, and in the way we show compassion and kindness toward ourselves. All of these relationships play an important role in our emotional wellbeing.
For some, today may also bring up feelings of loneliness, grief, or disappointment. If that’s your experience, please know that those feelings are valid. There is no right or wrong way to feel on Valentine’s Day.

This day is an opportunity to honour all kinds of love and all the emotions that come with them. And if you’re finding today difficult, support is available. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

02/04/2026

On World Cancer Day, we honour every journey touched by cancer, the quiet strength, the difficult moments, and the hope that continues, even on hard days. You don’t have to carry it alone. Support, compassion, and understanding are always here.

February 3 marks National Missing Persons Day: a day to honour those who are missing and to acknowledge the ongoing grief experienced by their loved ones.

When someone disappears, the loss is filled with uncertainty. There’s no clear ending, no answers, just waiting. This kind of grief deserves recognition, understanding, and support.

If this day brings up difficult emotions for you, please know that you’re not alone. Our clinic offers a safe space to process complex grief, trauma, and loss — at your pace.

February is Black History Month, a time to honor Black history, resilience, and contributions, while also reflecting on how historical and systemic racism continue to shape mental health today.

Experiences of discrimination and racial trauma can contribute to increased stress, anxiety, and barriers to accessing care. At the same time, Black communities have long drawn on strength, cultural identity, and collective care as sources of healing and resilience.

At our counselling clinic, we are committed to ongoing learning, cultural humility, and providing affirming, culturally responsive mental health care this month and always.

Uncomfortable feelings aren’t a sign that something is wrong with you. They’re part of being human.
Instead of pushing them away, try slowing down, naming what you feel, and reminding yourself: “I can sit with this.”

Emotions come and go even the hard ones.
You don’t have to do it alone.

There is a lot of pressure, especially on social media and in healing spaces to turn pain into purpose, to extract meaning, gratitude, or growth from experiences that were deeply distressing or unfair. While growth can happen, it is not a requirement for healing, and it is never something trauma survivors owe anyone. Trauma is not a teacher. It is an experience that overwhelms the nervous system, disrupts safety, and often leaves lasting emotional and physiological impacts. Asking someone to “find the lesson” too quickly (or at all) can unintentionally communicate that their pain needs to be justified, reframed, or redeemed in order to be valid. It can also create shame when someone doesn’t feel stronger, wiser, or grateful afterward.

From a therapeutic perspective, healing begins with permission:
– Permission to name what happened without minimizing it
– Permission to grieve what was lost
– Permission to feel anger, sadness, confusion, or numbness
– Permission to say, “This hurt me, and it shouldn’t have happened”
Self-compassion is often far more healing than meaning-making. Learning to meet yourself with kindness, patience, and curiosity—rather than pressure—is what helps the nervous system settle and restores a sense of safety over time.

If meaning or growth eventually emerges, it should come organically, on your timeline, not as a demand placed on your pain. And if it never does, that does not mean healing hasn’t occurred. Sometimes healing simply looks like feeling more at home in your body, setting healthier boundaries, or no longer blaming yourself for what you survived.

You are allowed to heal without turning your trauma into a life lesson.
You are allowed to rest instead of reframe.
You are allowed to be human.

Closing out January with mindful reflection, emotional check-ins, and self-compassion.

Grief isn’t something to “get over.”
�It’s something to be held with care, compassion, and time.
�If you’re carrying loss, you don’t have to carry it alone.

Depression is more than just feeling sad, it’s a complex mental health condition that can affect how a person thinks, feels, and functions day to day.

It doesn’t always look obvious. Many people continue working, caring for others, and showing up on the outside while struggling quietly on the inside.
Understanding depression helps reduce stigma, shame, and self-blame. It reminds us that depression is not a weakness or a personal failure, it’s a human experience, and support can make a meaningful difference.

Counselling provides a safe, confidential space to explore what you’re experiencing, understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop coping strategies that support healing and resilience.
If you or someone you care about is struggling, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

We’re so excited to welcome Julia Bronk to our clinic as a practicum student!

Drawing from relational, somatic, and strength-based approaches, Julia weaves thoughtful techniques to help clients reconnect with their inner selves, build resilience, and explore their life stories with clarity and care. She brings warmth, compassion, and a steady presence to her work and is deeply dedicated to creating meaningful change.

When she’s not in the counselling room, you’ll find Julia wandering the trails with her dog Malo and friends, curled up with a good book, playing board games, or spending time with family.

We’re so glad you’re here, Julia!

Healing begins in the quiet places we often avoid. In the shadows of our thoughts and experiences live stories waiting to be heard, pain asking to be held, and strength waiting to be named. When we courageously turn inward with curiosity, compassion, and support we begin to see that the darkness is not something to fear, but something that shapes us. Within it, our resilience grows, our understanding deepens, and our light learns how to shine.
