Opening on May 4, 2026, Bolster Counselling Services is accepting new clients. Bolster is a trauma-informed counselling practice for children (6+), mothers, and families. Bolster is grounded in nervous system science, developmental psychology, and relational safety. Regulation is prioritized before reflection and capacity. From this foundation, clients build emotional understanding and capacity, strengthen regulation skills, and support the developmental growth of self and relationships. We do not rush. We do not overwhelm. We move together.
Christina is Bolster's counsellor and founder, an Acadia University graduate and single mother. She helps clients understand how the past can interfere with the present, moving at your pace to build agency and self-trust. Christina offers 50-minute sessions for children, and 50 or 80-minute sessions for adult individuals, parents, and families.

As a Level II Trauma therapist, I strive to make my practice accessible to those seeking my care. Working with children and families is my specialty. Perimenopausal and post menopausal women, as well as single parents, will find a support and non-judgemental space to explore challenges and practice self-compassion.

You can expect a trauma-informed environment once you open the door. We work together to create a rich therapeutic relationship. Adults can expect a flexible approach that focuses on the nervous system, the brain, and how our past can interfere with our present. Parents of child clients can expect a safe space where their child can explore their inner world through stories, play, art, and science.
