Individual Counselling
What is Individual Counselling?
We all go through challenges in life, in our past, present, and thoughts for our future. Sometimes we experience, stress, have family struggles, go through loss, or experience mental health challenges. It is during these times that a Clinical Counsellor can provide support and tools to navigate these situations.
Individual counselling, also called psychotherapy or individual therapy, begins with building a collaborative relationship between you and your counsellor. The relationship can develop in person in our counselling clinic, or virtually on video or telephone. Some clients prefer to have their sessions outdoors or engage in walk and talk therapy. Whatever the setting, therapy is a non-judgmental and confidential space for you to share safely and receive objective feedback and tools to support.
