Therapy Services

01

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Counsellors support clients by helping them to learn to identify and challenge negative belief patterns. In adapting healthier coping strategies, clients' overall mental health can be improved.

02

Psychoeducation

Through reflection and insight, clients are supported by trained and experienced counsellors who offer increased knowledge and education on patterns and belief origins. 

03

Strength-Based Therapy

In operating with a "glass half-full" perspective, counsellors bring awareness to clients' existing strengths that they can draw upon to assist them in accomplishing their goals and conquering obstacles. 

04

Attachment-Based Therapy

By exploring clients' childhood experiences and their relationships with primary caregivers, counsellors are able to identify attachment types, which supports clients in their relationships with family members, romantic partners, and interpersonal relationships with colleagues.

Therapeutic Approach

At Anchor & Tide Counselling, our approach is grounded in empathy, education, curiosity, and compassion. We believe that understanding ourselves can be a powerful first step toward meaningful change. Through psychoeducation, we help clients make sense of their thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and experiences, while curiosity invites us to explore what lies beneath the surface, without judgment or assumptions. As a counsellor, seasoned teacher, mom, and lifelong learner, I bring a perspective that values both professional knowledge and the wisdom that comes from lived experience. I believe counselling should be offered in a welcoming space where you can be your authentic self, ask questions, and explore your experiences at your own pace. Together, we work toward greater self-understanding, resilience, and a stronger sense of being grounded through life’s changing tides.
