Do you feel distressed but don't understand why? Have you tried different methods and it only helped a little but never get ahead? Have you ever wondered what the core issue is? Working with me might find you those answers. A lot of people ask who gets counselling, I believe that anyone who experiences stress could get a therapist; however, many have amazing family and friends that allow them to bounce ideas, inspire motivation, and provides insight so counselling really isn't needed. Most people wait till they are in crisis to get help which would mean a rough journey to baseline. Let's be preventative rather than reactionary.

Whether it’s anxiety, relationship issues, depression, anger, low motivation, ADHD, or a general sense that something isn’t working, it can be overwhelming to face these challenges alone, especially when there is so much information out there that can be confusing or conflicting.
I help clients learn to notice and sooth difficult emotions and respond to challenges the way they want to. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT and EMDR but make therapy feel like a conversation. We want to explore your personal history to learn your story and come up with the most helpful and relevant path forward.

My team and I work with youth, adults, couples and families facing all sorts of life challenges such as: anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, fertility struggles and other reproductive mental health challenges, chronic pain, and trauma.
Hello! My name is Danielle Veldhuis and I am an experienced Registered Clinical Counsellor who has been in the field since 2001 and working as a therapist since 2005.

At Foundations Counselling we pride ourselves on making sure we are a fit with clients before we start the process. With a free consultation, you will get a good sense of who we are. We can then continue to develop a therapeutic relationship that will lead you to achieve your therapy goals.

15 years in full time practice, & 6 years as a peer counselling volunteer. A combined 21 years of experience. Since beginning in practice I have logged over 14000+ direct client hours. In that time I have helped a number of individuals, and couples overcome obstacles to their health and well-being. I offer a collaborative, psycho-educational, research based treatment strategy to clients whom are challenged in multiple areas of functioning. Therapeutic progress, change readiness are seem as dependant on a number of variables, and in my experience are extremely qualitative (individually dependant); so no 1 size fits all!

Can you relate to any of these statements? You keep holding everything together on your own. Something isn’t working anymore—and you’re ready for it to change. You’ve been managing for a long time, but it’s starting to feel like too much. Your mind doesn’t seem to slow down—and it’s exhausting. You’re constantly thinking, worrying, or overanalyzing, and you can’t turn it off. What you’ve been through still shows up, even when you try to move forward. You’ve learned how to cope—but not how to feel at peace. You keep having the same conversations—and nothing really changes. You want change but you don't know where to begin.

I specialize in grief, anxiety, family of origin work and life transitions.
I work best with people who are ready to look beneath long-standing patterns and understand how past experiences continue to shape their present relationships, emotions and sense of self. Many of my clients are insightful and capable yet find themselves feeling stuck, overwhelmed or activated more frequently than they would like.
Together we gently examine the narratives that once helped you survive but may now be limiting. Through this process, new perspectives emerge along with greater self-trust, emotional clarity and empowerment. The goal is not only insight, but meaningful change that carries into daily life and relationships.

Regardless of age, we all experience life transitions that shift how we see ourselves and the world, prompting deep questions: “Who am I?”, “What do I want?”, “Who do I want to become?”, “What is my soul asking for?”, “What is my purpose?”. Maybe you've already started asking. Though everything seems fine, there's an unexplained emptiness. Motivation is low, and nothing truly excites you—but this isn't who you are. You are curious, motivated, and alive. You’re ready to move forward and build a life filled with satisfaction and contentment.
