I assist men who are seeking emotional balance, harmonious relationships and an overall sense of well-being. Individuals will prioritize these goals as a result of conflict or through some experience of loss, lack or pain. My specialty is short-term counselling, typically three to six sessions. Options for longer-term support are also available. Counselling begins with an initial consultation. The purpose of these 50-minute introductory sessions is to identify an approach that will provide you with the greatest possible benefit in the shortest period of time. A consultation can usually be scheduled within five days of your call.

During difficult times of crisis and uncertainty - I encourage everyone to be aware of their mental health and be intentional with self-care. Having access to a clinical counsellor is not something you need to sacrifice as a result of social distancing. Sessions can be offered via phone or secure video conferencing. Online booking is available at www.nadiahovencamp.com

I use a compassionate, non-judgmental, and results-oriented approach intended to help you develop self-awareness, resilience, and self-regulation.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS - PHONE, VIDEO OR FACE TO FACE - FORMER COUNSELOR AT QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY AND ST. LAWRENCE COLLEGE I am a caring and empathic psychotherapist who works from a strengths-based approach and help people to resolve troubling issues in their lives. My services are tailored to your needs. My goal is for you to live a more peaceful and balanced life and to learn coping strategies to carry with you after counselling is completed.

Suffering from depression, anxiety, grief or troubled relationships? Maybe you are experiencing a difficult life transition such as employment change or loss, divorce, parenthood, retirement, or the loss of a loved one? I can help. I offer support, kindness and empathy to help you see more clearly in the difficult times you may be experiencing. I favour a holistic, integrative approach, which I tailor to your individual needs.
