We all experience times in life when we feel overwhelmed, anxious or in grief. Life's challenges can sometimes take a toll on our sense of well-being. This is especially true during this Covid-19 pandemic with its accompanying social distancing, isolation and stress. When anxiety, fear, grief or relationship difficulties arise you may feel even more vulnerable. Therapy offers an opportunity to explore your feelings, uncover insights and develop greater self-awareness and compassion. Together we can create new coping skills that will support you and your loved ones during these exceptional times.

Hello, my name is Tiffany and I am a proud member of the Lotus Counselling Services team! I bring over a decade of experience working with people living with mental health and addictions. Currently I am also a team member at a local hospital and work in the Dialectical Behaviour Therapy programs. My focus is to deliver therapy validated through research to help people who are struggling. I have developed a specialized skill set in working to help people tolerate and regulate difficult emotions and to use these skills to support relationships and behavioural changes that are important to you.

Welcome! Thank you for discovering my website. I am honoured that you have included me in your search. Many of us first come to therapy feeling alone and overwhelmed with one or many dimensions of our life. Feelings of isolation or a sense of emptiness might be encroaching upon us. We are looking for a way to feel more real and engaged with the world and yet everything about us is seized up. I offer expert assistance to individuals and couples with an intention to enrich and transform the relationships in their lives. This includes the relationship with oneself, with significant others, with family and with communities.

My specialties include anxiety, depression, stress, life and career transitions, grief, marriage and relationship conflicts, dating, and parenting. I realize there is rarely one issue and it takes courage to ask for help. I offer a safe, sincere and supportive environment to share, reflect upon, and experience positive growth from the issues you bring to counselling. I work with individuals, couples and families and have over 20 years of experience helping people share their stories and struggles - to feel heard and understood. Please know I also offer professional supervision to other psychotherapists and now, EMDR to clients.

I help individuals, couples and families heal and flourish by creating safe spaces to explore, discover and deal with the root causes of the emotional, mental, spiritual and relational issues that hinder optimal performances at school, work, communities and relationships. Together, we develop and implement customized treatment plans from all modalities to improve awareness, esteem, acceptance, emotion regulation, intrusive and unhelpful thinking, addictive, compulsive and destructive behaviors, decision and meaning making, assertiveness, compassion, boundary setting, stress, sleep disturbances and family of origin issues.

Are you a youth or adult looking to find direction and build hope? With two decades of experience in high school and university settings, I understand the varied stressors in school, work, family, and community.

I work with parents either in relationship or separated, who are struggling with parenting due to relational break-down or children's behavioural issues. Co-parenting is especially tricky! I can help with strategies and ideas for how to cope, including how and when to tell children you are separating. I offer personal counselling for teens and adults struggling with anxiety and/or depression. I also provide marriage/relationship counselling. The goal is always to take steps towards respect and harmony in relationships with family and friends.

Are you struggling to form meaningful connections? Every argument, every misunderstanding, seems to reopen old wounds? You may be experiencing the pain of abandonment, betrayal, grief, and neglect. You may be feeling lost and disconnected and wonder if your relationship and family could ever be salvaged. I can be your external support, where you can be heard, seen, and understood. You probably have put up with a lot of unfairness and downplayed your emotions and now looking for strategies to end the hurt. Together, let's help you find a sense of peace, relief and figure out how to make changes in your relationship.

Meet Danielle, a dedicated Registered Psychotherapist (Q) with 20+ years of experience and the founder of Bespoke Psychotherapy & Consulting Services. Specializing in person-centered approaches, Danielle tailor's sessions for individuals, couples, families, and parenting support. Her warm and empathic approach focuses on building strong therapeutic relationships, centering on your strengths to navigate life's uncertainties.

As a therapist with over 2o years of experience, I hear clients say they wished they had reached out sooner for support. Often, shame or guilt had gotten in their way, somehow thinking they should be able to make changes alone. Quite honestly, we are not meant to do things alone. I offer treatment for struggles such as family stressors, parenting biological, foster and adoptive children, depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and childhood maltreatment experiences. I work extensively with parents with their own adverse childhood experiences to change patterns from their upbringing and feel more successful in their parenting.

Depression, anxiety, and stressful circumstances no longer have to control your life and steal your joy. I support individuals, children, youth, and families to restore hope in a safe and compassionate space where you can share, reflect, grow, and journey towards fullness. We can work together to navigate current situations and past experiences so that you can be more connected to what is happening in you, and in those you care about.

I believe that we're at our strongest when we have meaningful, supportive connections in our lives. My focus is on developing these types of connections with my clients - ones where they feel genuinely cared for, safe, and supported in their journey towards feeling more fulfilled in their lives. My aim is always to help my clients feel heard, empowered, and more confident in their ability to navigate struggles. I'm always in their corner, and it's important to me that they feel this way. At the end of the day, feeling like I've provided someone with meaningful and support is why I love this work.

My name is Susan, the newest member of Lotus Counselling Services. A Registered Psychotherapist, I am passionate about working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, interpersonal conflict, lack of balance and other emotional and psychological costs of today’s competitive work environments and how these are compounded by existential challenges. These include relationship issues, life transitions, ageing, sickness and loss. I utilize evidenced based skills and a strong desire to help you move toward the life you want and away from the one you don’t.

We all experience our very own challenges in life. We don’t have to navigate them alone.

I believe that life is a journey, with peaks and valley’s and we can get stuck or lost at times. It is at these times that we need some support, someone to talk to who can assist us in exploring issues in a safe and caring environment . If life has been hard, stressful, confusing or if you are going through personal or relationship challenges, it may be time to reach out for support to assist you.

It is my firm belief that everyone deserves someone to talk to, and to pour out what has been long kept in their heart, body, mind, spirit, and soul. It is with that belief, that I offer my skills, and trained ear as a counselor, in order to help you navigate through this situation that you are finding yourself going through. You are never alone. Although it may feel like this at this very moment, you are stronger than you think that you are. Real strength, in my opinion, is being able to be vulnerable, being able to disclose a hidden problem or area of great pain, and to deal with this 'head on', and with someone who can help you.

People have come to me when they want to: improve their mental & emotional health, address stressful relationship patterns, receive support during difficult life situations, and want help from a professional in learning about and helping to unpack clouded thoughts and feelings. People who benefit from my work are those who want to better understand the root of their challenges, and who feel making changes are important, but they're needing support in realizing those changes.
