Do you say or do things that you regret later? Does it take you a long time to recover from anger? Do you lose out on promotions at work to other co-workers? Do you struggle to read social cues? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then developing and improving emotional intelligence, EQ might be helpful.

Challenges are inevitable in this life, but they can be managed with the help of family, friends or sometimes professionals. My life mission is to be of service to people who are suffering. I strive to create a counselling space in which my clients feel at ease with being able to share their stories. I truly believe in the possibility of people being able to move through their pain, in order to live happier and healthier lives.

As a clinical counsellor, I am deeply committed to supporting individuals through their emotional challenges. My passion for helping people stems from a profound belief in the power of holistic healing. Growing up with immigrant parents, I’ve cultivated a unique understanding of cultural diversity, enabling me to create an open and inclusive space for individuals from various backgrounds. Throughout my career, I have focused on addressing complex issues, including trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. My approach is rooted in empathy and a deep respect for each person’s unique journey.

Whether you are experiencing relationship challenges, a change in relationship, anxiety, or depression, grief, struggles with self esteem, challenges with boundaries or communication, or looking for ways to grow your capacity for joy, pleasure and self compassion, together we can examine root causes for patterns in behavior and enhance your ability to live a rich, meaningful, connected life. I have worked as a Social Worker for 16 years and am passionate about working with individuals and couples regarding trauma, grief and loss, burnout, attachment, 2SLGBTQ+, polyamory/non-monogamy, and parenting.

Hi! I'm Amy - a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) specializing in sex therapy. I started my practice to help others increase authenticity, playfulness, and connection within their intimate relationships. I know talking about sex can be hard... That's where I come in! Together, we will co-create a relaxed, open space to honestly explore your questions, needs, and wants. I support my clients to cultivate pleasure and nurture erotic energy by examining and challenging the unhelpful beliefs and social messages that often prevent us from accessing desire.

I have been in private counselling practice for 15 years, and in wellness, personal development and the media for 25 years. My practice draws self-referring, high-functioning adults/couples with addiction, phobia, anxiety, depression and attachment disorders affecting their lives beyond their historical, current or perceived ability of self-control. In couples, I usually begin individually to create safety and self-awareness, then back together towards clear self-advocacy, expression and to build trustful communication. EMDR in the couple context can clear a lot of old trauma and wounded pattern-associations that mire us in destructive relational dynamics.

We all need to be heard, especially when we’re struggling or hurting. When we are really heard, we are given the opportunity to explore our past and present, and focus on our challenges. The insight that follows allows us to address the feeling of being stuck rather than getting caught up in the judgement of others. The space created in therapy provides a safe place to explore who we are, identify our patterns, gain a better understanding of what makes us unique, and allows us to make changes. This is accomplished by building a trusting relationship between the client and therapist in a collaborative and supportive environment.

In my practice, I believe that change, growth, and healing is possible for everyone. I see counselling as a collaborative process where the counsellor and the client work together to develop perspective and understanding.

As unique beings, challenges visit us in unique ways. Many of us have had experiences, are in situations, or have behaviours which prevent us from thriving. Whether or not you have a name for what you are experiencing, I will meet you with warmth and encouragement. I am equally at home working on challenges such as trauma, all types of anxiety and/or depression, grief, chronic illness, navigating a concussion, as I am with exploring dreams, memories, and life purpose.

Most of us desire to live our lives with a sense of confidence, purpose, and closeness with others, but difficult life experiences can lead us to build walls for protection and safety, and as a result, we can lose our sense of connection with ourselves and others. If you are here, you may be feeling some combination of lost, alone, stuck, anxious, afraid, unsure, frustrated or angry, overwhelmed, grief, worried, low, sad and/or depressed. We can work together to help you bring a greater sense of control, satisfaction, and ease into your life.

Are you feeling weighed down by past experiences and struggling to find your way? Whether you're dealing with trauma, depression, grief, self-harm, or anxiety, you deserve a safe, non-judgmental space to express yourself. I’m here to listen and support you with compassionate care and effective therapeutic tools tailored to your needs. I specialize in supporting children, youth, and adults who are dealing with the effects of trauma. By creating a supportive and non-judgmental space, I aim to help you navigate your inner world, so you can find greater clarity and freedom.

When anxiety, stress, depression, burnout, sleep issues, chronic illness & pain, and relationship issues are interfering, how to get through the everyday can feel so frustrating, exhausting, depleting, and chaotic. Most of my clients don’t really know how they got to this state, or how to get out of or through it. But people who are at a place of wanting change things and who are willing to trust the therapy process towards having a different life really do find counselling helps with building capacity, control, self care, skills, routine, and supports.

I enjoy connecting with people by providing a safe space for them to share their thoughts and feelings. We will work together to overcome the challenges of the past, and take steps together to shape the future with what works best for you. Sometimes it can be a crisis that makes you seek out counselling, in working together, you will discover that the crisis may have been exactly what was needed to help you make some important changes to improve your life. Taking the first step in asking for help takes tremendous courage, the next step typically includes finding the right counsellor for you.

My name is Steven Francoeur; I am a Master of Counselling student, and my supervisor is Michelle with Guts and Grit Counselling.

Do you feel stuck, anxious, or like you are living in "survival" mode? Do you struggle with feelings of shame or unworthiness? Do you wish you could be living a more whole-hearted life? It is normal to experience these challenges. You are not alone, and I can help.

Are you craving a safe space where you can start learning more about yourself and your patterns? Do you find that the same challenges often come up in your life but you aren't sure how to move through them? This is very often what people describe when first coming to therapy. I firmly believe that our adult patterns are the direct result of painful or overwhelming experiences that we had as children. By making connections between the past and the present, we learn how to meaningfully change our lives.
