I’m so glad you are here. New Clients are welcome, both young and old (individuals, couples, families). Let’s talk about how therapy helps. There are so many ways we can feel better, we just need to take one step. Reaching out is the first, and often clients feel better after the first session. There are no waitlists for new clients, when you are ready to begin, we begin. Every moment is an opportunity to feel better, but sometimes we lose hope and stop trying. I encourage self love and self-compassion with playfulness and creativity. “Love has the intense ability to heal the wounds from the blows that life gives us.” Sue Johnson

You are the decision-maker. The problem-solver. The one others depend on.
You operate at a high level, manage significant responsibility, and deliver results. From the outside, you appear composed and capable. Internally, you may feel anxious, burned out or emotionally shut down.
High performance often masks unprocessed stress, unresolved trauma, and chronic pressure. Over time, this shows up as exhaustion, disconnection, strained relationships, or reliance on alcohol or other coping strategies to take the edge off. We can help you.

Hi, I’m Sandy Kirkwood, the founder of Integrate Counselling. I’m passionate about counselling because I know that with the right therapist at the right moment in your life, it can be both helpful and life changing. I know this because, over the years, I have witnessed so many clients move through their struggles to gain a deeper understanding of who they are and what they truly want. I have gathered this particular team of therapists together because I know how they work with clients. They have been either close colleagues of mine or past supervisees. I have witnessed their warmth, wisdom and effectiveness in working with clients.

You feel stuck. Your nervous system is in overdrive, and no matter what you try—self-care, distractions, pushing through—it feels like something keeps pulling you back.
Maybe it’s anxiety, trauma, or depression that won’t loosen its grip. Perhaps you feel numb, disconnected, or constantly on edge. If your strategies haven't worked, it’s not because you’re not trying hard enough, it’s because your nervous system needs a different approach.
