Medavie Blue Cross Therapists in Belnan, NS
Hi, I'm Meg!
Growing up with horses and competing in the discipline of English Show jumping, it was a natural lead into my career as a Counsellor and Coach. My focus on growth mindset training and development began when I saw a need for the use of positive language to accomplish goals in the sport and academic settings, professionally and in my personal life.
Focusing on counselling clients who are neuro-diverse is very rewarding. Using equine assisted therapy, alongside other counselling approaches, I get to help clients gather an understanding of where they are at and strategies to get where they want to be.

We all deserve to live a genuine life—one that reflects what truly matters to us. A life where you feel content and connected to yourself and those around you.
But there are times when life feels distressing, painful, traumatic, or simply not as meaningful as we’d like. Choosing to invest in yourself and your well-being is a powerful act of strength and courage.
I believe therapy is a journey of self-discovery—uncovering what’s been holding you back from feeling fulfilled. It’s about understanding how past experiences and relationships shape us and learning how to break free from patterns that no longer serve you.

We support you with individual & group perinatal counselling. There’s so much joy and wonder as you prepare to bring your new baby home. But the truth is, it’s not always bubbly feelings for everyone. From steep swings in hormones, fatigue, physical & lifestyle changes, and serious shifts in your relationships, it can take a real toll on your mental wellbeing. Your mental health from trying to conceive through your pregnancy and postpartum period can be met with resistance as you enter into many unknowns and while many folks experience feelings of excitement during this time, feelings of anxiety or depression may also be prevalent.

I offer direct billing through VAC, NIHB, and Medavie Blue Cross.
Hi, I’m Julia - Counsellor, supervisor, and fierce believer in people’s capacity to grow. For more than a decade I’ve run a private practice shaped by earlier work in public schools and on a university campus. Those years taught me that behind every struggle—whether it’s a teen wrestling with identity, a student stretched thin by expectations; or an adult facing parenting challenges, stress, anxieties, family struggles, anger, trauma—there’s a human story that deserves to be heard. If you’re ready to feel better in your own skin and in your relationships, let’s talk!
