COUNSELLING

SERVICES

At Support With Healing, counselling is provided in a safe, compassionate, and confidential space where you can explore life's challenges without judgment. Whether you are navigating grief, loss, trauma, life transitions, or some form of personal struggle,  our services are designed to help you better understand your thoughts and emotions, build healthy coping strategies, and move toward healing, resilience, and lasting personal growth.

BENEFITS of COUNSELLING

Counselling services offer a range of positive benefits that can help improve your life. You can express yourself freely in a confidential setting with an unbiased, trained counsellor who is bound by a professional code of ethics.

This allows you to understand your thoughts and feelings and how they influence your behaviour. Emotions can include anger, guilt, sadness, relief, uncertainly about the future, worry about finances and many others. Therapy sessions provide the safe space  to process your thoughts and emotions which help you to become aware of how you have learned to cope. Essentially, how you have learned to survive the ups and downs that life can bring.  It can provide an understanding as to why you now may feel like you are stuck and unable to move forward.

It is normal to feel apprehensive when planning to see a counselor for the first time. It can bring forth feelings of excitement, nervousness and even anxiety. Tarah’s warm approach will ensure this process is as comfortable as possible for you.

WHAT TO EXPECT from COUNSELLING? 

During your initial session, both of you will discuss what brought you to counselling and before the end of the that initial session, you'll have one or two goals to start working towards. This will begin to form your treatment plan.  When you are ready, both of you will start to explore the areas in your life which have led to imbalance, and how this might be impacting your ability to live fully. Areas of strength and resilience in your life will also be explored and used to support positive changes. There is always a way to healing. Tarah particularly likes to use genograms and loss lines in her work which can provide a lot of helpful information and stems from her natural use of social systems.
