Adult Counselling

Counselling for Adults

Space to slow down, make sense of what you are carrying and build tools that fit your life. In Coquitlam, Medicine Hat and online across BC and Alberta.

You deserve support too

Many adults spend years looking after everyone else before they look after themselves. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, low mood, a painful past, a big life change or simply feeling stuck, counselling gives you a place to be heard without judgement.

Our psychologists, social workers and clinical counsellors bring a wide range of experience, from crisis and community mental health to trauma recovery and neurodivergent adults. We tailor our approach to you, drawing on CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, solution-focused therapy and parts work.

What we help with

  • Anxiety, worry and panic
  • Depression and low mood
  • Trauma and post-traumatic stress
  • Grief and loss
  • Burnout and stress
  • OCD
  • Separation, divorce and relationship changes
  • Life transitions, including parenthood, career change and retirement
  • Recovery after a motor vehicle accident or workplace injury
  • Living well as a neurodivergent adult, including after a late autism or ADHD diagnosis

Approaches we use

CBT
Notice and change thought patterns that keep you stuck.
DBT
Skills for intense emotions, distress and relationships.
ACT
Make room for difficult feelings and move toward what matters.
EMDR
A structured therapy that helps the brain process traumatic memories so they feel less overwhelming.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
Focus on goals and what is already working.
Parts work
Understand the different parts of yourself with curiosity rather than criticism.
