Lorna Barnes, Oak Tree Counselling
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CT, CPC
I find clients are looking to understand themselves, to find reasons they struggle the way they do, and discover how they got where they are. We've all been influenced by our experiences, whether good or bad. Good healthy experiences give us the tools and confidence to navigate life, but what happens when our experiences have been far from good? A child experiencing abuse, trauma, loss, and neglect believes they deserve it or it's their fault, not knowing the adults in their lives are responsible to help them feel secure and confident. Negative childhood experiences often throw individuals into feeling too much responsibility, becoming people pleasers, carrying much shame and guilt, feeling like a burden, social awkwardness, experiencing cognitive distortions, depression, addictions, loss of identity, anxiety and panic disorders, inter-relational problems, lack of confidence, and a lack of boundaries. Clients need to know they're not to blame and there's hope to experience a healthier and purposeful life, the life they were meant to have. Clients need to know they belong, they matter and are not a mistake. If you want to find freedom, purpose, contentment, and healing schedule a 30 minute free consultation to explore whether we'd be a good fit to journey together to a better you.

Meera Duncan
Counsellor/Therapist, Honorary Doctorate Psychology, Counselling Therapist,Clinical Counselling Hypnotherapist, & Author
I’m excited to share a new offering within my practice that I’ve been thoughtfully developing: a series of small, in-person group therapy programs designed to provide a unique and supportive therapeutic experience. These sessions integrate psychotherapy and clinical hypnotherapy to support emotional well-being, personal growth, and stress reduction, allowing for both meaningful discussion and deeper work focused on calming the nervous system and activating the parasympathetic response.
These small group programs are designed for children, teens, and parents, with a focus on building emotional resilience, confidence, and practical tools for navigating life’s challenges within a supportive and structured environment.
The next 8-week group programs begin this spring. Registration opens April 7th, and spaces are intentionally limited to maintain a supportive group experience.
Reaching out for support takes courage. I am passionate about guiding individuals through meaningful change and helping them reconnect with their innate capacity for healing and growth.
My work integrates counselling, psychotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and clinical hypnotherapy to support both the conscious and subconscious mind. This approach allows for deeper emotional processing, insight, and lasting transformation by addressing patterns at their root.
Whether you are experiencing anxiety, stress, or a period of transition, I provide a grounded and supportive space to explore your experiences, develop greater self-understanding, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Are you ready to begin experiencing your life in a new way?
