Our Support

Individual Counselling

Everyone goes through challenges and needs someone to check in with. Additionally, many people require support overcoming past traumas and mental health concerns. Connecting with us for individual counselling can help you to obtain the necessary support, tools, and a listening ear to help you successfully work through your concerns.  

Group settings can offer a place for individuals facing similar challenges to come together and experience a positive and supportive environment.
Psychoeducational groups offer a space for people to learn and develop various skills and receive support in a confidential environment. Support style groups offer a safe and confidential place for individuals to come and focus on the specific topics impacting their lives with others who are experiencing similar difficulties. There will be various virtual groups that occur through Virtual Connect so keep an eye out to see if any of them appeal to you.

Group Counselling

Couples counselling

Relationship ups and downs are normal. Couples counselling offers a place to strengthen the positive areas of your relationship and intervene in areas where further support would be helpful. Through the counselling process, couples will have a chance to work on implementing tools to strengthen their relationship, as well as rebuild communication and friendship whilst addressing their areas of concern.   

Family dynamics can be challenging from time to time. Finding a neutral party who can offer tools to improve the dynamics and functioning of the family unit can provide lasting benefits. A trained mental health professional who specializes in family counselling works with the family to: improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships within the family unit. Through a collaborative approach, family counselling helps each family member to understand the perspective and roles of each member. This can allow space to: modify unhealthy patterns, foster understanding, and develop problem-solving skills within the family. Overall, family counselling can enhance family cohesion, as well as individuals' overall happiness and resilience.

Workshops

Skills-based, psychoeducational, or other workshops can be a great opportunity to be able to explore and learn about a new topic as a one-time event. Skilled-based workshops provide participants with valuable knowledge connected to the topic that is being presented. These workshops are usually provided as a one-time event and are presented in a way that is digestible and informative. Psychoeducational workshops are similar to skills-based workshops and will provide information on particular counselling modalities, a better understanding of interventions, or particular mental health concerns. Workshops are single-session events that allow you to dive into a topic of interest. These single sessions are helpful as sometimes it can be difficult to commit to longer-term courses or groups.
