Online Counselling for B4A

Currently accepting new clients in person and remotely! Welcome! You, the client, are the expert of your life. Taking the first step of reaching out for support is a courageous act! You deserve to feel your best and be celebrated in your efforts along the way. You may be eager to begin your therapeutic journey or hesitant - both feelings are okay. I work with children, youth, families and adults. I specialize in trauma, adverse childhood experiences, grief/loss, relationships and life transitions, etc.

Sometimes things in life feel too big and too hard to face alone. Perhaps you're experiencing depression, anxiety, or grief. You might need help navigating codependency, tricky relationship dynamics, challenges with substance use, compulsive behavior, or postpartum support. Maybe you want to explore your gender/sexual identity. Counselling can help you better cope with your struggles, work through mental health challenges, face addiction, and find clarity, hope, and healing. Our time together is judgment-free in a space cultivated with safety, trust, and empathy. I strive to be an anti-oppressive, sex and kink-positive practitioner.

It’s difficult to watch your usually thoughtful child/teen struggling with their big emotions. Your child who is usually wise beyond their years becomes quickly unglued. You’re pretty sure that anxiety, worries or low self-esteem are hiding under the big tears, emotional meltdowns, ‘sassy’ attitude and anger. While you desperately want to be there to support your child and help them through this turbulent time, the accumulation of stressors from the demands of life and parenting through a pandemic make it hard for you to be the parent you want to be in those moments.

Hello, My name is Cynthia Manley and I am a Certified Play Therapist with the Canadian Association for Play Therapy. I help children who are stuggling with a variety of challenges incuding anxiety, grief and trauma. I take a child-centered approach to working with children, which means I follow the child's lead in my work. Parents are crucial in the healing process, and I value working together toward meeting treatment goals.

Currently accepting new clients in person and virtually. Welcome! I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing a range of mental health challenges. I am first and foremost client-centred and collaborative in my approach, which means we work together on how to best support your mental health. Some modalities I tend to draw upon are play therapy, sand tray therapy, expressive arts, narrative therapy, and DBT. However, therapy is for you, and if something doesn’t resonate, we will shift gears until we find something that does. Therapy is a journey we walk together.

Now Accepting New Clients! The transition to parenthood can be hard, whether it’s struggling with becoming pregnant, grief over miscarriage, stillbirth or infant loss, depression or anxiety during and/or after pregnancy, or learning how to adjust to your new life with baby. Many parents when faced with these challenges feel overwhelmed and sad that things didn’t go as they had planned or expected.

Deirdre can help you explore and understand your personal patterns. Learn how your past influences your present. Deirdre uses IFS and EMDR to challenge influential memories and heal inter-generational trauma in a safe, confidential environment. Consistent or recurring negative thoughts, overwhelming feelings, impulsive behaviours, pain, dizziness, loss of short-term memory and self-harm are just a few symptoms that therapy can help with.

From time to time, we all face challenges that can be overwhelming. Sometimes these challenges are situational, but they can also be the result of our lived experience(s) over time. Often they manifest as anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and self harm. These manifestations can lead to further challenges such as job loss, family conflict, isolation, and addiction. Although we may flounder or experience failure, we can develop the strategies needed to live a flourishing life. Integrative therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Positive Psychotherapy, and Solution Focused Therapy teach us how to live well.

It’s as if you’re walking around with an invisible tide of emotions inside of you that the rest of the world is unable to see. And in your worst moments these big emotions and what if’s threaten to overwhelm you. It seems no matter how hard you try to live in the now and free yourself from these deep feelings and negative self-judgements, they can be like a wall, preventing you from fully being present and real, even when you want to be. As much as you try to remain calm, when poked, these raw spots spark emotions of sadness, grief, defensiveness, or insecurity.

On the outside, you look like you have it all together, but truth is, on the inside you're a mess. You used to pride yourself on being able to balance a successful career, kids and a healthy relationship. But now, you feel burnt out and anxious; your worries are always rolling around in your mind. Lately, you've been more irritable and frustrated toward your kids and spouse, which makes you feel terrible. Worse yet, you've completely forgotten about yourself. It feels like you are drowning under the weight of your problems and you are desperate to get free. You never imagined yourself seeing a therapist, but you know you need help.

Currently accepting clients. I will complete an initial assessment to help determine the depth of your depression, anxiety, unhealthy coping strategies and other areas that may be causing you to feel stuck. We repeat what’s familiar. Even though we know what is dysfunctional, and not working well for us, we repeat behaviours because they are familiar. We can break old patterns and rewire our brain, forming new neural connections so that new thoughts and behaviours become the norm. Go to www.aldergrovecounselling.com for more information.

Accepting New Clients: Being a parent is HARD. It's even harder when your loved one is an intense feeler and has big reactions or mental health diagnoses that you aren't sure how to understand or support. Perhaps your loved one shuts down or shuts you out completely. You may feel scared, sad, embarrassed, or hopeless. You want to help and feel confident that you can make life easier for your loved one and your family, but for some reason what you're doing isn't working. We'll work together to strengthen your relationships and help you respond better to the intense feelings that get triggered in your loved one and in you.
