Compassion Focused Therapists in T2N

Hello! If you’re tired of managing, coping, dealing with, or otherwise fighting with your human experience, I’ve got you. Therapy, as I have come to know and offer it, can return you to your own self-healing capacities with the skills, perspectives, and confidence needed for sustained healing and resilience. Your effort and emotional labour combined with my guidance, patience, and playfulness, will facilitate your ability to guide and support yourself meaningfully and effectively through the curveballs of your human experience.

As individuals, we each have a unique set of values that guide us. We may or may not be aware of what these values are, and they may shift over time and with experience. I believe that by understanding what is most important to us we have an opportunity to use this information to manage our thoughts, beliefs, and behaviour in a way that allows for peace of mind and authenticity, which in turn can lead to a meaningful life. Using our values to direct our choices and ground us in who we are can allow us to overcome challenges and put us on the path to becoming our best selves.

I provide a compassionate, understanding and healing space for you to work through difficult emotions and life situations. With 30 years of experience behind me, I will help you to improve relationships, relieve stress and anxiety, build self-confidence and rediscover your passion for life. I specialize in helping you to reconnect with the essence of who you are; your Higher Self. I use traditional therapy methods as well as energy healing and card reading if those are of interest to you. Life isn't always easy and sometimes we need someone to walk us through the rough patches. I will walk with you.

Has your life been impacted by Intimate Betrayal Trauma? I have the knowledge & expertise to guide you through this very difficult time. Regain your inner peace, lower your anxiety, repair your relationships, work through your depression, grief and trauma. Using evidence-based practices, we can work together in creating the happy authentic life that feels out of reach. I am trained (level 3), and use the Gottman Method in my couples counselling approach. There is help & hope. As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), I work with complex couples challenges as well as the everyday struggles that many of us face in relationships.

My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment, so that we can comfortably understand and explore your challenges, experiences, and hopes for the future. I hope to help guide you through the process of change by assisting you in taking new perspectives, developing deeper understandings about your challenges, utilizing your strengths and resources, and defining actionable ways to move forwards that are guided by your values. My perspective is client-centred, emotion-focussed, and strengths-based, and our sessions would serve to help you feel safe, inspire hope, and assist you in creating meaningful change.

I am an experienced counselling therapist and sexuality educator who is passionate about helping people feel empowered to enjoy pleasure, their bodies and sexuality. I believe that connecting to ourselves through sensual pleasure can enhance our overall well-being and build confidence and comfort in ourselves. My skills and expertise lie in working with women, non-binary, and trans folks who want to explore and improve their relationship with their body, pleasure, and sexuality. I also offer pregnancy options and abortion support.

Hi! I'm Lizzie, a Registered Provisional Psychologist dedicated to helping adults, children, youth, and couples address their mental health and well-being challenges. With my background in the Canadian Armed Forces, I have a deep commitment to providing support to military members, veterans, first responders, and those coping with complex trauma and PTSD. I am dedicated to creating a welcoming, non-judgmental, and compassionate environment for all clients, with a particular passion for supporting LGBTQIA2S+ communities. I bring a warm and humorous approach to my practice, promoting an atmosphere of trust and understanding.

Stop feeling overwhelmed, start slowing down and feeling like you have room to breathe. Have the life you thought you would have. People see you has someone who has everything together. What they don't see is the toll it takes. You care for everyone else first and have high standards for everything you do. It used to feel good to be able to keep everything running smoothly for everyone. Now, it's starting to make you feel stressed and resentful. You notice you're overreacting, or reacting explosively, then the shame hits. Rather than coping strategies that really work, you choose short term fixes that provide relief in harmful ways.

I am the owner of Living Well Counselling Services and have over 15 years experience helping people to transform their lives. I offer a free 20 minute consultation and enjoy working with clients that need help with anxiety, mild to moderate depression, emotional abuse, burnout, time management, perfectionism, over-responsibility, sensitivity and relationship concerns. Additionally I specialize in helping adult children deal with unhealthy families and make positive changes. Too often people cycle back into problems, fearing therapy didn't really help. I work to assist you in healing problems at the root.

Life is a journey, and sometimes that journey takes us through valleys of grief, trauma, and relational challenges. Are you experiencing some overwhelming grief & loss? Are you and your partner looking to start your journey into marriage with a strong foundation? Or perhaps you're a married couple facing challenges in your relationship? Trauma, grief, and the complexities of relationships can cast shadows that seem overwhelming, giving rise to hopelessness and despair for some. No matter where you are in your grief or your relationship journey, you don't have to walk alone, I am here to guide and support you.

Your story matters. I specialize in exploring meaning-making, existential questions, self-identity, and self-concept. My work emphasizes how self-understanding is transformative in helping people claim their story and live it authentically. With compassion, and a grounding presence, I aim to provide a space where your concerns are heard, cared for, and validated. I work with individuals, couples and families who are interested in understanding their story and creating change in their life. If this resonates with you, please reach out to me.

Embarking on therapy can be an intimidating (and courageous!) step to take as you prioritize your well-being. I strive to understand your world and life’s path through the unique experiences, insights, values, strengths and perspectives that make you who you are. You deserve to be respected, supported, and honoured within the therapeutic process that we create together. I will strive to provide you with a non-judgemental, safe space where you can come as you are, unapologetically. Together, we will work on the issues that are most important to you, at a pace that you define.

I enjoy helping others and have over 15 years experience in the helping professions. I work with adults, children and families and specialize in trauma, neurodiversity, family conflict, parenting, anger and self regulation. I am also skilled in helping those who choose to use violence in their relationships. I work from both a trauma informed and attachment based lens.

Are you dealing with anxious thoughts? Are you struggling to connect with others or even yourself? Are your relationships suffering? Perhaps you are dealing with grief and loss? Feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, and frustrated can be disheartening. I am here to tell you that it is possible to gain perspective once again! It is possible to improve your relationships! You can improve your life- and I would be honoured to be part of that journey.

In the flow of life it can be easy to lose track of who we are and the parts of ourselves that we value the most. Maybe you’ve never had a chance to grow into the person you’d like to be, or perhaps you’re held back by other factors such as life transitions, unhealthy relationships, toxic work environments, cultural expectations, illness/disease, or self-limiting beliefs. Let me help you navigate these challenges and create a life that reflects your values, true sense of self, and preferred ways of being.

I have over 20 years of counselling experience working with adolescents and adults in a variety of settings. I have experience working with clients struggling with a diverse range of issues including life transitions, stress management, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, self-esteem, anger, family of origin issues and substance abuse. I admire the courage it takes to seek counselling to work through life’s challenges. I strive to create a safe, non-judgemental, compassionate environment that is built on respect, warmth, openness and honesty.

I believe we’re all doing our best to make it work in a world that teaches isolation and self-reliance when we are wired for safe connection and secure dependence. You may be stuck feeling lonely, isolated, and empty, or maybe you’ve suffered through a difficult relationship, an impossible loss, or in securing a sense of belonging in the world. Through somatically-rooted psychodynamic counselling, we’ll focus on integrating the competing parts of you that fuel your tensions. Using parts-work, metaphor, and somatic practice, we’ll get curious about the patterns you’ve developed to survive.

Therapy offers us the opportunity to have the support we need to examine those areas of our lives we find painful, confusing, and challenging. My goal is to help you through any difficulties you are experiencing so that you can have better relationships and feel better about yourself. Topics of interest include depression and anxiety, relationship problems, addiction, self-harming behaviour, trauma and PTSD, life transitions, as well as pet loss.
