When you’re ready, we’re here to walk with you. 💛

What do you think of when you think of counselling?

There are a lot of misconceptions about counselling! Some think "it's just talking", or that we just "give advice" or it's just a "place to vent".

Counselling is SO much more than that!

Counselling is

💚 A space that is just for you
💚 A place to explore whatever you need to with someone who will truly listen and try to understand
💚 A space where all feelings are allowed and welcomed
💚 A place where it's ok to cry - even really "messy cry"
💚 A place to explore different options and think about different outcomes
💚 A space where you can be truly honest without worrying about censoring yourself to save someone's feelings
💚 A place where your self-awareness will grow
💚 A place where you can be yourself without judgement, and where you will be respected

Counselling can be a challenging process for many; it’s not a quick solution but rather a journey that begins when you feel ready to take that step.

The journey can offer valuable support for those struggling with anxiety, grief, trauma, depression, relationship difficulties, or various life challenges.

If you have questions or you want to start that journey, contact us and take the first step.

The first consultation is free which allows you to ask questions and to see if you feel that you are ready and comfortable to keep moving forward.

What Helps Therapy Feel Safe?

For many people, starting counselling comes with hesitation — especially if trust has been broken in the past or previous support felt invalidating or harmful.

Therapy is not about being “fixed,” analyzed, or directed.
It’s about creating a space where you feel safe enough to be real.

At the core of a supportive counselling relationship are a few key elements:

You are listened to.
*Your thoughts, emotions, and lived experiences matter.
*You don’t need to explain them away or make them tidy.
*Therapy begins with genuine, non-judgmental listening.

You feel protected.
*The counselling space is confidential, respectful, and ethically grounded.
*Boundaries exist not to create distance, but to create safety — and safety is what allows trust to grow.

You are welcomed as you are.
*You don’t have to change yourself to belong.
*Therapy is not about fixing or correcting — it’s about meeting you with dignity and care.

You are not alone.
*You are supported, not expected to carry everything by yourself.
*Therapy is a partnership, moving at your pace, with compassion and collaboration.

You remain in control.
*Your autonomy and choices are respected.
*Therapy doesn’t take power away — it helps you reconnect with your own voice, clarity, and inner wisdom.

Ethics and boundaries are essential to this relationship.
They create consistency, reliability, and trust — especially for those who have experienced unsafe or unpredictable relationships before.

A safe therapeutic relationship isn’t perfect — it’s human, responsive, and rooted in care.

If you’ve ever felt unheard, blamed, or misunderstood, therapy can be a place where something different becomes possible.

You deserve support that truly feels safe. Call today to book: 604.533.9163

If the thought of starting therapy feels overwhelming, you’re not alone. Many people feel uncertain, nervous, or simply curious about what counselling might be like.

Anything unfamiliar can feel uncomfortable — and it takes courage, practice, and compassion to move through the uncertainty.

It begins with one small step.

Your first session can be a gentle place to start:

A space to talk things through.
A place to feel heard.
A moment just for you.

This can be especially helpful if you:

• have something specific on your mind
• want to see if counselling feels like a good fit
• have never tried therapy before
• want support without committing long-term

You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out 🤍We are here to support you.

As therapists, we won’t:

❌ Try to “fix” you
❌ Tell you what to do
❌ Pretend we know your life better than you do
❌ Take away the hard parts

As therapists we will:

✔️ Remind you that you’re not broken
✔️ Create space for your own insight and growth
✔️ Walk beside you as you find your answers
✔️ Respect that you are the expert in your own life
✔️ Support you in learning how to carry what feels heavy — with more ease

Healing isn’t about being fixed. It’s about being supported.

Therapy isn’t always comfortable — and sometimes it can feel like things are getting harder before they get better. That discomfort often means something important is shifting.

Some sessions leave you feeling grounded, hopeful, and clear.
Others leave you tired, emotional, and questioning everything.

Both experiences are part of healing. Both mean work is happening.

Growth isn’t always pretty — but it’s still growth.
If you’ve ever walked out of a session wondering, “Did that actually help?” — this message is for you. 💛
