Do you feel like you are at a breaking point? Maybe you can't do it alone anymore. Maybe you look like you’re holding it together on the outside, but inside, things feel heavy. Maybe your relationship feels stuck in conflict or distance. Maybe anxiety, grief, or past experiences still shape how you react. You’re tired of repeating the same conversations, the same patterns, the same self-doubt. You want clarity, steadiness, and meaningful change, not just coping. You’re ready to understand what’s beneath the surface, strengthen communication, and move forward with greater confidence and intention. You are in the right spot.
At HGT Counselling, we offer trauma-informed individual (12 years+), couples, and adult family therapy. With over 30 years of combined extensive experience in relational dynamics, grief, trauma, and life transitions, we provide steady, collaborative support focused on insight, communication, and meaningful change.
Reaching out can feel vulnerable, especially if you’ve been carrying things alone. Whether you’re navigating relationship strain, family tension, anxiety, or the grief of losing a beloved animal companion, you don’t have to move through it by yourself. If you’re ready for a steady, respectful space to begin, we’re here. We get it.

We are taught many treatment types, but what works depends on who the client is and what they connect with most. Treatments can be combined and adjusted based on your needs and comfort. In the end, we want to see progress no matter how small, you will be accepted for who you are, supported and learn how to improve thoughts, and behaviours and manage feelings.
