EMDR is a unique and innovative form of psychotherapy that enables individuals to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress resulting from disturbing life experiences.
When was the last time you experienced harmony with your core principles? At Hartwell Counselling, I provide a compassionate and transformative therapy rooted in evidence-based practices such as EMDR. EMDR which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and its the gold standard for treating and processing trauma. EMDR reduces trauma symptoms in a shorter time frame than the traditional talk therapy. Many clients have reported a reduction of traumatic symptoms after the initial few sessions of EMDR. EMDR is not a magic cure for trauma but it might produce some symptoms relief.

Then we make a tangible plan to break the cycles, resolve your traumas, learn practical strategies to support yourself outside of session, and ensure you are continuously improving your life and relationships.
I help men that: struggle to understand and communicate emotions so instead bottle them up; overwhelmed with anxiety and anger; feel helpless and passive and thereby suppress their feelings; get lost and stuck in depression; struggle with low self-esteem; tried counselling but never discovered the roots of their issues, their progress plateaued, or didn't gain anything from it; and who struggle to achieve deep, lasting changes in their feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. If you resonate with any of the above, you are ready to stop talking in circles about your issues and start tackling your problems head-on to make real progress.

Passionate about guiding clients back to their essence, I help you show up to life fully resourced.
Relational Somatic Therapy helps you connect with the deep wisdom of your body and strengthens your capacity to trust in its guidance. Learning to listen deeply to your mind and body, you become gently and honestly present. RST invites you to slowly meet and begin to integrate the parts in you that have been abandoned, neglected or rejected, as you learn to love yourself. This work is an invitation to meet, feel, hold and heal your wounds and negative self-beliefs. The negative core beliefs you may have about yourself, such as “I’m unworthy” or “the world is an unsafe place”, drive your unconscious behaviour, thoughts and feelings.

And that you will feel empowered to recognize your strengths as you learn to express, process, and move through life events.
Hello, my name is Aleya. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and I am here to help you seek opportunities for growth from change and life events. Pregnancy and parenthood. Grief and loss. Relationships and marriage. Career transitions. Accidents or illness. It can be really hard to see your way through these significant (and sometimes unexpected) life events when you're in the thick of it, especially if you're not sure which way to go. Connecting with someone who can help you understand your feelings, validate them, and provide the right tools to deal with them can help these moments feel more manageable.

Psycho-therapeutic interventions like EMDR, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy can support the clients in their healing path and transform their life from a survivor to a thriver.
Psychotherapy is the confidential process where you can get insight from an experienced registered Psychologist in understanding how life-stressors can interfere with your thinking patterns, feelings, beliefs, needs, behaviour and relationships. Prolonged exposure to stress, unhappiness, conflict, trauma, abuse or problematic relationships can lead to anxiety, depression, grief, anger or other behavioural problems. Brain research clearly indicated that early psychological intervention can prevent mental and physical illnesses. Clients now have the opportunity to be proactive and learn the skills on how to protect their mental health, restore their competence and happiness and develop a strong sense of well-being and resiliency.

I want folks to feel like they can share freely in session and walk away with reflections, skills, and practices they can apply to their life outside of the counselling office.
Perhaps you are feeling stuck or blocked in some aspect of your life - academics, athletics, relationships, work, self-growth, or otherwise. Possibly you feel like your previous coping mechanisms are no longer as effective as they once were. Maybe you are feeling lonely, lost, and don’t know where to turn. From couples to individuals, I enjoy working with people who are ready to face their challenges head on - even (especially!) if you feel nervous. If any of that resonates with you, then I'm grateful you've taken the first step in exploring your options by being here.

My therapeutic philosophy is transpersonal (the inter-connectedness of Life, Spirit, and Consciousness), which means that I operate from a non-religious, spiritual paradigm.
My goal as a Transpersonal Therapist, is to help you uncover your true potential & lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand & resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches & techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns, or negative perceptions, that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling & meaningful life. If you're looking for additional support & guidance through a challenging situation, or just ready to move in a new direction, I look forward to working with you.

Life Coaching Counsellors

What can I expect from life coaching?

Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.

Can a life coach help treat anxiety?

Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.

Can life coaching be done online?

Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.

How long does life coaching last?

Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
