Bolster Counselling Services is accepting clients on a waiting list..
Bolster is a trauma-informed counselling practice for children (6+), parents, 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.
Christina offers 50-minute sessions for children, and 50 or 80-minute sessions for adult individuals, parents, and families.
With over twenty-five years of education experience, I am passionate about helping struggling students to understand their strengths while validating their frustrations within school and without. Seeing one's self as more than a "struggling student" can provide hope, confidence, and can boost self-esteem.

Groups
Parenting Communication Skills
Sources of family conflict such as morning routines, technology, and homework are very common and can be very frustrating. Come together with other parents to feel validated and supported while taking an open and honest look at your expectations, methods of communication and parenting style. Group members are provided a safe space in which to grow and learn from each other and from research-based practices.
