It’s challenging to figure out who to choose when you need to talk to somebody. Where is the therapist of the “bad break up”? Or, relationship breakdown, even if it is with yourself. You want to talk with someone who’s training and experience reflects your struggle, of course. I have worked in psychiatry, both in hospital and community crisis work, (military, police, therapists, teachers) victims of infidelity, domestic and sexual abuse. If you are ready, take heart, change can happen. Gift therapy time to yourself or a loved one. It's free to meet me. FergusCounselling.ca/ola/services

At Compassion Counselling Services we offer long-term, person-centred therapy that focuses on gaining skills to cope with various life stressors, develop personal growth, and create a strong therapeutic relationship.
Have you been feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or lost in your thoughts? Do you find yourself pushing down emotions or trying to keep yourself busy to avoid "this feeling"? Have you been mean towards yourself and the situation, shaming yourself for what has happened? Maybe your life has been filled with fears or worries and this has started to make you feel run down. You're starting to find that not only are your thoughts and emotions affecting you, but they're beginning to affect your relationships around you. It can be awkward to find a therapist and to make sure you find someone who understands you.

I also encourage feedback at every stage to ensure you are satisfied with my approach, the goals we create, and our therapeutic relationship.
Anxiety struggles can be overwhelming, and difficult to overcome alone. So how do we cope when our worries and frustrations are magnified by a worldwide health crisis? You might think “other people have it worse, or my problem is silly”. However, our struggles aren’t measured by the event itself, they are based on the unique lens with which we view our experiences. Do you find yourself trying to escape from life, abusing substances or even feeling ashamed of your behaviour? If you're worried you're not ready or feel hesitant, there's no commitment necessary. Let's explore how we can work together to offer you relief.

Finding a solution to our problems requires an authentic relationship, openness to the diversity of experience, creativity, and humility.
I recognize that life is complex, and so are the issues we live with. Whether it be a significant change, like losing a loved one, or tension within a meaningful relationship, it can feel overwhelming and hopeless trying to find our way through these challenges. I believe that we have the solutions to solve our problems within us and, at times, this requires us to reach out for support to uncover the answers to overcome these problems. From there, we seek to understand how we can learn from these hard times to strengthen ourselves and our relationships and find meaning from our experiences.

Change, whether chosen or imposed, can be one of the most challenging of life's gifts. Working as a Therapist in the addiction and mental health field for 25 years has allowed me the privilege of working with individuals who, like me, face some difficulties that are seemingly too complex to work out on their own. Finding the right person to explore such sensitive and personal issues is no easy feat which is why providing an authentic and judgement-free space is at the heart of my therapy practice. I am accepting new clients for in-person and online therapy! Please visit my website for more information.

Couples Counselling

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
