We have every confidence that she will be able to rise to this promotion to lead the organization forward in the coming years.

We again want to thank Craig Hillier for his amazing leadership over the past 3 years and the many changes he implemented to stabilize the ministry. Craig has gladly committed to a training and transition process with Kerri over the next several weeks.

As we come to the close of the year, we’re grateful for the ways God has provided through this community. Through your support, we were able to subsidize 400 sessions in 2025. Your generosity allows us to continue serving, caring, and walking alongside those who need support.

If you’ve been prayerfully considering a year-end gift, donations made before December 31 will receive a charitable tax receipt that can be claimed on your 2025 taxes.

Thank you for partnering with us in faithful stewardship and compassionate ministry. Together, we’re making a lasting impact.

Everyone struggles at some point in their life. You are not alone.With over 40 years experience helping people manage life's challenges, we understand that no one is immune to pain - physical, mental or spiritual. CCO is built on Christian principles. We offer proven psychotherapy approaches for ind...

All of us at CCO would like to wish you a Merry Christmas!

Please note that our office will be closed December 24 - January 5, but scheduled sessions will still occur during that time.

May the God of Peace be with you this season!

As we move closer to Christmas, it’s easy to feel the weight of a busy season. Between school, work, family, and expectations, this time of year can feel like a lot.
But it can also be a time to pause, breathe, and remember what truly matters.

Small moments count just as much as the big ones: sharing a laugh, checking in on someone you care about, or taking a quiet minute for yourself. You don’t have to have everything perfect. You don’t have to feel festive all the time either.

Let this season be an invitation to slow down, notice the good around you, and offer yourself the same kindness you give to others.
Light grows slowly, one warm moment at a time, and so do we.

Wishing you peace, gentleness, and steady hope as Christmas gets closer.

Today is Giving Tuesday! November is a month that can feel dark and heavy, but December brings us hope as we look forward to the joy of Christmas. ✨

Please donate here: https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/donation-form/donate-to-change-lives-3322

Your donation helps us support our community with care, connection, and compassion. Every gift makes a difference, and every act of kindness brightens someone’s season.

Join us in giving back today. 💛

Giving Tuesday is tomorrow!

This year, Giving Tuesday (a day focused on charitable giving) falls on December 2, and you can change the lives of many people who need the professional and caring assistance from our registered, compassionate therapists.

Who needs our help? Our family members, neighbours, coworkers and friends. Each year, 1 in 5 Canadians experience a mental health crisis. Age doesn't matter - crises can happen to everyone. Chances are you know someone, or you are that someone!

Our Goal is: $2000.

We value stewardship of resources and will use every dollar to facilitate sessions for those dealing with life's challenges. On Giving Tuesday, your generosity matters. Each $60 contribution helps offset the cost of a psychotherapy session for someone who otherwise couldn’t afford care—turning financial barriers into pathways to healing.

There are great ways to donate:
Through our website page: https://christiancounsellingottawa.ca/donate/ (instant receipt)
Or make a donation through our Canada Helps page: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/135470 (instant receipt)
Or send an e-transfer to ed@ccottawa.ca with your full name and mailing address in the Message section. (Receipt will be sent in January 2026.)

Don't want to wait? No problem, the pages are open!
Thank you for supporting Christian Counselling Ottawa and being part of our caring community. Together we can make a difference!

The CCO Team

Remembrance Day invites us to pause, breathe, and hold space for the sacrifices that shaped the freedom we live with today. Grief, pride, and gratitude can all exist at the same time. Take a moment to acknowledge whatever rises in you and let it be met with compassion. May we honour those who served by choosing empathy, peace, and connection in our own lives.

Today is National Stress Awareness Day. Feeling the pressure? Try these simple stress relievers; no fancy equipment required:

1. Deep Breathing (2–5 minutes)
👉 Why it works: Activates the parasympathetic nervous system, lowering heart rate and cortisol.
Try this: Inhale through your nose for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale through your mouth for 6. Repeat 5 times.
🧠 Effect: Helps calm your mind and body almost instantly.

2. Physical Movement (Even 10 minutes helps)
👉 Why it works: Exercise releases endorphins, reduces muscle tension, and boosts mood.
Try this: A brisk walk, light stretching, dancing, or even doing chores with energy.
🏃‍♀️ Effect: Clears mental fog and resets your stress response.

3. Mindful Breaks
👉 Why it works: Shifting your focus to the present moment stops rumination (the endless replaying of worries).
Try this: Spend one minute noticing what you can see, hear, and feel right now.
🕯️ Effect: Builds awareness and trains your brain to pause instead of spiral.

4. Connection with Others
👉 Why it works: Social support reduces stress hormones and increases oxytocin (the “feel-good” bonding chemical).
Try this: Text a friend, share a laugh, or hug someone you trust.
💬 Effect: Reminds your nervous system you’re safe and supported.
