Online Counselling for Guelph

Do you find yourself feeling constantly overwhelmed? Do you find your mind full of worry and/or regret, it's hard to figure out what to do next? Are you preoccupied by thoughts that no matter how hard you try, you feel like you are disappointing yourself and/or those closest to you? You are not alone!

I believe you are the expert in your life and even though you may not know it, you have all the answers within you. Unfortunately sometimes life can make accessing these answers difficult. Trauma, mental health issues, addiction, work and family pressures can all impact our ability to connect to our inner wisdom and happiness. I have found through personal experience that talking to a trained professional in psychotherapy who is kind, caring, non judgmental and emotionally attuned can support the process of being able to listen to ourselves and work towards living a life that is free of suffering.

I work with adults who want to get unstuck from negative patterns and unearth the roots of repetitive reactivity and triggers. They want freedom and peace. The adults I work with seek help with spiritual growth/integration, psychedelic integration, healthy boundaries, anxiety, self-worth, meaning, depression, life direction, co-dependency, communication, addiction, relationships (with self, the Divine, life partner, ex-partner, children, family, co-workers), emotional regulation, grief, loss/divorce, chronic pain and parenting. Helping clients learn from the past and then leave the past in the past is what I love doing best.

Right now life may feel wildly uncertain, and this might be making you feel frustrated, anxious, and out of sorts. I am not going to say that I know what you are going through because I don't. What I do know is that the practitioners at SoulScape Services have helped people get through these strange days in one piece, feeling better than before. If you are reading this, chances are you're looking for some relief and new ways to manage your life. The therapists at my clinic can help you to get re-calibrated, find your footing, and to breathe deeply again.

Perhaps you are someone who is feeling unbalanced and hoping to better understand what allows you to feel aligned. Maybe you are experiencing great transition and looking for stability within yourself. Holding onto your inner self in these circumstances can be difficult, but knowing there may be someone to walk alongside you during these difficult moments may help contribute to the courage to change. Together, we can identify those building blocks you already possess to continue creating the life you want to lead.

Do you feel like your anxiety and panic are controlling your life? Do you feel hopeless, and don't know what to do? Do you feel like you've tried everything and maybe that you can't be fixed? Maybe you have been told that you just have to manage these symptoms for the rest of your life. That is not true. I help people who feel like they can't be helped eliminate anxiety, trauma/PTSD, NOW, without years of struggle and therapy, and without talking about it, so they can feel calm, in control and rediscover joy in their lives.

Additional client day now available: So if you're trying to figure out how to heal from past issues with relationships, your self-worth, body image, weight stigma, health, illness, pain, anxiety or relationship with food, I believe you've come to the right place. Together we can explore when and where certain feelings started & gently unwind them to slowly build to a more loving & self-accepting existence as you are right now. I have a deep & personal understanding of these issue. My practice focus is: mindfulness, IFS/parts work, self-compassion, women's work, body issues, anxiety, pain, disordered eating & psychedelic work.

We know that life can be very challenging at times and that the obstacles can seem overwhelming when facing them on your own. The therapists at Spacious Mind Counselling have been through their own trials and tribulations and have benefited from their own personal therapy during difficult times. We know that you are the expert in your life and that with the right conditions you can overcome the obstacles and challenges. We aim to provide a safe, non judgemental space where you can begin to understand the challenges for what they are and get back to living a rich and meaning full life. We do this by listening, asking questions and then creating goals with you that are in line with your values. Sometimes skills and tools are needed and other times processing traumas and unresolved emotions are needed. We will always follow your lead and provide insight and knowledge when you need it during sessions.

Now accepting new clients. Are you overwhelmed by stress, anxiety and overwhelm? Maybe you feel stuck and are using unhealthy coping strategies, like turning to food to soothe your feelings. Are putting in your best effort but nothing is working? It is an honour to be invited to share in client's challenges and support them in finding solutions for improved coping strategies and an improved sense of wellbeing. I work adolescents and adults in individual online sessions. I am trained in CBT, DBT, Emotional Resilience, Self-Compassion and am a Certified HeartMath practitioner (nervous system regulation).

Does your life look great on paper and yet you are struggling to find inner peace and meaning? Do you feel stuck or feel like you are experiencing overwhelm from a history of losses or difficult, traumatic events? Do you suffer from PTSD, depression, anxiety, and/or addictions including problematic eating patterns as a result? Healing, transformation, and lasting wellness are possible when you reach out to me for support. In session, you will be listened to, validated, and empowered to learn to use evidence-based strategies that will help you to achieve peace and a sense of purpose.

It can be so hard to manage your day-to-day when anxiety, trauma, and a general sense of unease fill your mind (and body) with negative thoughts and sensations. You might be feeling stuck, but you're also searching for the right support because you have hope that you can heal. I recognize the value of truly knowing that you’ve not only been heard, but also understood. Sometimes this seemingly simple act can spark the beginning of a healing journey. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative and empowering process, and whenever possible, one that seeks to focus on strengths rather than to pathologize weakness.

Are you seeking an alternative way of healing and ready to explore? Open to letting go of old hurts in order to experience a breakthrough? You desire to release your old patterns of behaviour and are seeking a therapist that will partner with you by listening deeply, challenging you, and celebrating with you. You are motivated to do the work to get the results you’ve always wanted (in individual or group sessions). I work with women who serve others in healing arts and business. These women are family-oriented and many don’t want to parent like your parents did.

Currently accepting new clients. Are you tired of feeling low? Do you feel empty and disconnected from the world around you? Do you want to feel more engaged in your daily activities? Taking action to talk to a counsellor is a courageous step. My areas of expertise are: depression, anxiety, stress, compassion and caregiver fatigue, career services and life transitions for adults. I take a trauma-informed, holistic approach and together we will work through the challenges you are experiencing. I will support you in your desire to live a fulfilling life by means of individual therapy sessions that focus on step-by-step changes.

Often we hear that being a mom is the best job in the world but this is not the experience for everyone and that’s ok. Perhaps being a mom is different from what you thought it would be? Maybe you don’t feel like yourself anymore. Or you thought having a new baby was going to be a wonderful, joyful experience but instead you’re just overwhelmed. Everyone’s motherhood journey is different. It’s not uncommon to feel sad, disconnected and exhausted but these feelings don't mean you’re not a great mother. Being a new mom may not be easy but it is possible to feel connected to your family and enjoy spending time with your children.

Are you feeling disconnected from who you want to be, and not sure what do to about it? Perhaps you see the changes you want to make and are unsure how. I believe that everyone has strengths and resources to create healing in their own life. We can work together to connect with those strengths and take steps forward. As an accredited music therapist, I am also trained to incorporate music in all forms into psychotherapy sessions. This could be listening, creating, or making music. How we choose to incorporate music depends on your goals, strengths, and interests, no musical experience is required to benefit.

My name is Dave Robinson. I am known to many as the “Go-to-Guy for Helping Guys” and I have been coaching and counselling men for over 15 years. ​I offer individual therapeutic counselling for men, 18 years and older. I wholeheartedly believe that my clients are experts in their lives. That stated, I focus on helping men of all stages, ages, orientations and cultures awaken to their highest potential (to become the best partner, father, son, friend, and brother) by helping them discover and develop the mature masculine aspects of their character that have either stalled, or have yet to be discovered.

Are you struggling with your health, pain, or illness? Are you experiencing a new physical or mental health diagnosis? Has your chronic condition worsened? Has the pandemic impacted your health? Are you experiencing Long Covid Symptoms? Have medical treatments been overwhelming? I specialize in counselling to help you navigate chronic physical and mental health challenges including pain, fatigue, disability, body image, and relationship troubles. You want skills and tools to better manage the day-to-day challenges of living life with illness and a safe place to share your story and process overwhelming past experiences.

Trauma can shake the way you interact with yourself, your loved ones and the world at large. I want to work with you to reconnect with yourself again. To feel safe enough to not just survive but to experience real joy. People living with trauma can carry a lot of shame and it can be difficult to talk about the things that you are facing. Therefore my goal as your therapist is to create a warm space for you to heal. In my work I embrace your natural gifts and incorporate creative forms of expression that come naturally to you into our therapeutic work.
