It can be daunting attending therapy for the first time and talking about personal issues. Your relationship with your therapist is the most important factor in your success; you need to feel a connection in terms of communication, trust, comfort and safety during your sessions. I therefore offer a complimentary, no-obligation call so we can chat with no expectations or pressure. You do not fit in a pre-made mould and neither should your therapy. As such, I implement a blended therapeutic approach which is client-centered; this means you are in the driver’s seat at all times. I work only with proven, evidence-based approaches including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) & Solution Focused Therapy (SFT).

Scott Arner
Scott Arner
For 18+ years I have assisted adults struggling with mental health issues, substance use, trauma, anger, grief, as well as isolation and disconnection. I use a collaborative approach with clients to develop treatment plans, and goal setting. You know your experience — your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours — better than anyone else. I incorporate mindfulness into my therapy practice to aid in anxiety reduction, productivity, self-awareness and confidence. I have studied and include in my practice other approaches such as cognitive behaviour therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, secular Buddhism, narrative, Imago (for effective couples’ communication) and emotion-focused therapy.

I use warmth, humour, and emotional capacity to support people who are coping with challenges, overwhelm, grief and mental health concerns. I bring a compassion that allows folks to feel understood, respected, and that they are having a genuinely authentic conversation. Having worked in hospitals, prisons, public health, and other diverse settings, I bring an expansive tool kit of ways to support whatever hopes and goals you have for counselling.

Laura Wray

I have significant experience working with men, and have developed a real sensitivity and empathy for the struggle many men face in opening up about, and making sense of their emotions. I believe we all have different ways of expressing ourselves and that using emotional language is not the only – or the correct – way to navigate our experience and relationships. If you are worried about being constantly asked how you feel, or about long awkward silences in the therapy room, that’s not what you will find here. I use humour, directness, prompts, helpful strategies, and most importantly, I work alongside you in a very human and engaged way. Our sessions will be collaborative and lead by what feels helpful to you.
