At some point in our lives, everyone struggles with issues that feel overwhelming; sometimes we find solutions on our own, and there are times when we might need support from someone who is trained to help. If you are looking for help that is expert, confidential and tailored to your needs, contact me directly: 613-620-3642, info@chirucounselling.ca My office is based in Manotick (Ottawa South), 20-30 minutes drive from Barrhaven, Nepean, Casselman, Metcalf, Winchester, Kemptville.

When someone experiences life changes such as grief, loss, relationship challenges, job loss, parenting, postpartum, trauma and abuse, these situations can evoke feelings of anxiety and depression. You will be supported through these challenges and life stressors by engaging in therapeutic conversations which will stimulate change and promote healthy coping strategies. Together, therapeutic goals are explored and established, with a core focus on your individual needs. Talk-therapy, Cognitive-Behavourial Therapy and Brainspotting are some approaches used as well as working with lifestyle modifications to achieve optimal results.

At Manotick Counselling, our goal is to assist our clients in creating a more stable, secure and resilient sense of self, partnership or family system within a safe and supportive environment. Through the identification and exploration of areas in which our clients wish to see improvement, we will work collaboratively in the formation and maintenance of client-focused treatment plans tailored to each unique circumstance.

Admitting you need help, and getting it, are probably one of the hardest things to do in life. I work with individuals, couples and families. As a counsellor who works with individuals, I help clients identify their problem, collaborately set goals with them, and help them discover tools to cope with their struggles on a daily basis. As a couple's therapist, I help clients improve communication, identify what is driving the relationship difficulties, and help the couple move towards the desired dynamic in the relationship. As a family therapist, I help families resolve their conflicts and improve communication.

Sometimes the worst place to be at is in your head! You must decide what you are going to do with this one wild life. I believe that each of us has greatness lying within waiting to be brought forth. I assist individuals experiencing difficult life transitions, such as, but not limited to loss of a loved one, change in health, job loss, divorce, chronic illness, parenthood, empty nest, menopause and retirement. I offer support to those struggling with depression, anxiety, loss of life engagement, emotion regulation, loss of self esteem, confusion, frustration, isolation, loneliness and life imbalance. Empowering people to live!

NOTE: I'm not accepting new clients at this time. Are you concerned about your child or teenager? Do they struggle with anxiety or anger? Are there struggles with focus/ attention/ ADHD? Have they experienced a big life event such as a parental separation, death, or significant change? Parenting is the most rewarding but challenging role that there is. Together we can develop a plan to support your child. I have 15+ years supporting children, youth, and families experiencing a variety of struggles, in schools and in the community.

I provide counselling and psychotherapy services to Individuals, Teens (12+), and Families. I work tirelessly to support my clients in achieving their goals and reducing their distress. I believe that the most fundamental step towards effective therapy is a strong and trusting relationship between the client and the therapist, therefore it is a top priority in the work I do. My overall goal is to facilitate a therapeutic process which empowers clients to find happiness, balance, health, and well-being.
