Whether you're making choices about what to do after highschool,  leaving an old job to start over in a new role, making a big move to a new city, starting a new family, or planning for your retirement, a Registered Psychotherapist or Registered Social Worker can support you as you adjust and find your way forward.

Relationship counselling is for women who want to have fulfilling relationships in their life! Whether you're single and seeking a meaningful intimate relationship or struggling with intimacy, connection, and communication in your current relationship, it can be hard to see a way forward. The pain and frustration you experience around relationships can become a spiral of confusion, anger, and self-doubt leaving you unsure about what to do.

You are not alone - there is support for you here and no judgement - regardless of your circumstances. It’s okay to talk about these things instead of holding them inside and suffering alone. 

Reach out for a free consultation Psychotherapist or Social Worker to see how therapy can support you.

Your intimate partner is not the only important relationship in your life. Relationships and connection with family and friends are a meaningful part of being human. Some relationships feel easy while others are more challenging. Are you struggling to be yourself with your family? Are your friendships letting you down? Maybe there’s a single conflict that you can’t get past. All these relationship challenges can leave you feeling left out, isolated, and confused. 

When family and friends feel challenging and complicated, a supportive, non-judgemental psychotherapist can help you navigate your values, set boundaries, and develop relationships that are fulfilling!

When you look in the mirror what do you see?  When you're out in public does the way you feel about your body and appearance lift you up or weigh you down? You know how you want to feel in your body but no matter how hard you try you always end up disappointed. You either feel controlled by diets or experience shame and disappointment in your choices around food. You may not have an eating disorder but your relationship with food is complicated and your thoughts about food and your body take up so much energy! 

Every day, millions of women just like you struggle to love their bodies and feel trapped in a toxic relationship with food. Opening up and talking constructively about your struggles  is the beginning of a journey that leads to freedom with food and feeling comfortable and relaxed in your own body.

Counselling and psychotherapy doesn't always have to be problem-focused. So often what you need is a dedicated space to explore your internal experiences and reflect on your the choices you have moving forward. 

Meeting with a psychotherapist can give you this space! Together we can pay closer attention to you, your experiences, and your desire for growth and change.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy is a powerfully transformative model of psychotherapy. IFS believes we are a system of valuable parts that all have unique strengths and qualities. We all have a core Self, our innate healer. Working to build the strength of your Self is at the heart of the model. 

IFS is a movement. A new, empowering paradigm for understanding and harmonizing our inner experience in a way that impacts how we experience the world. IFS helps people heal by building Self-compassion and validating all of our internal experiences. 

At Counselling for Women, all of your parts are welcome and valued. We believe fundamentally that every part of you has an important role that, once uncovered, allows you to flourish! 

EMDR is the gold-standard for treating PTSD, complex trauma, and adverse experiences. EMDR helps you find the stuck places where trauma continues to create mental, emotional, and physical triggers and works to reprocess, heal, and change the ways that trauma impacts your life. 

EMDR is a beautiful compliment for IFS therapy and can support the unburdening and recovery of your parts that are suffering. 

EMDR therapy will be available online in Ontario and Manitoba or in-person in Beausejour beginning November, 2024.
