Looking for a safe space to talk it out? Want to process experiences, manage problem? Just need someone to listen? Feeling the feelings is hard. Building self-esteem and confidence can feel impossible. Not sleeping, anxiety, stress, and eating too little or too much are all issues that challenge us. A safe and welcoming environment for all. Learning how to shift perspective and process traumatic life events. All these things show up, and we each feel them differently. Wanting to be your best self is a good life goal!

NOTE: We provide only online counselling at this time. We are a highly diverse team of counsellors with decades of experience treating nearly any mental health issue. We offer a holistic approach to healing focusing on mental, emotional, spiritual & physical health. We serve individuals, couples, families and groups. If our clients are not completely satisfied, we are committed to providing a change of counsellor on our team, or a referral to a counsellor outside of our agency.

Working in the school system for the past 25 years, I have experienced the importance of a healthy relation with yourself and others. Reaching out for support is sometimes the most difficult thing to do. If you are working through anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, PTSD, addictions, and/or conflict, I can help. My clients present a wide range of emotional and personal problems, from life crisis and bereavement to ADHD, from anxiety and obsessive-compulsiveness to depression.I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is a proven effective treatment for trauma.

Today you have taken the first step to getting your life back. I know that mental health issues and life circumstances can leave you feeling overwhelmed, out of control, and without hope. BUT, don't believe everything your mind tells you! Regardless of the issues or circumstances that have brought you here, starting right now, you are on the road to recovery. Together, we will work to build the knowledge and skills that will enable you to manage and even overcome your issues, so you can start living the rich, meaningful life you want, today.

Reaching out to talk to someone can be scary. Feeling stuck or uncertain can also be scary. Striving to set and achieve goals can be scary. What does scary look like to you? Finding someone to give you a genuine perspective can be difficult, but I do my best to always be real with anyone I speak with. I hope you start your journey by reaching out to see how I can help you on your path, however that path looks.

If you need support, a safe place, and have the desire to challenge the parts of your life that are not working for you, I would love to hear from you. I help people understand and change what is stopping them from living the life they want. This can include mental health issues, challenging life transitions, trauma, and unhealthy relationships with themselves and others. I specialize in Post-Concussion Syndrome and chronic pain, I help clients gain understanding and confidence so they can navigate the physical, emotional, relational, sleep, and cognitive impacts of PCS and pain.

Hello, everyone! My name is Emily Penney, RP (Qualifying). I am currently a student counsellor under the supervision of Dr. Laurie Ponsford-Hill at The Counselling House in Woodstock, Ontario. I believe in a biopsychosocial approach to counselling by which mind-body wellness is achieved by creating harmony between an individual’s social environment, personal thoughts and values, and biological make-up. As every individual is unique, so too should be their plan of treatment. Using an eclectic and integrative approach, I will draw upon a variety of theories and techniques to tailor a treatment plan specific to your individual needs.

My practice offers an online option for clients looking for an experience therapist but would prefer to work from the comfort and convenience of their own home. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy. As a Certified Play Therapist, I am able to offer online family therapy for families with school aged children. I also offer online clinical supervision and am an approved supervisor with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association and the Canadian Association for Play Therapy. Please check my website for more details.

Are you ready to invest in your healing? To connect to the root of these tangly struggles and realize the truth of who you are? If so, you are exactly where you need to be.

Congratulations on your courage! Becoming a conscious and emotional adult is beautiful work and will give life to all your relationships. Together we bring the unknown into the know, the unconscious to the conscious, so you can return to balance more quickly. I'm a skilled and compassionate therapist with over 13 years experience working with groups and individuals in personal growth. Your needs are at the centre of every therapy session and I truly enjoy helping you quickly get to the heart-of-the-matter so you can stop guessing and start creating the changes you seek.
