Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you are navigating parenting, you may feel stretched in ways you never anticipated. You want to respond with patience and wisdom, yet stress, fatigue, and your own history can surface in the hardest moments. You may question whether you are doing enough, doing it right, or unintentionally repeating patterns you hoped to change.
At Selah Counselling, we support parents with compassion and practical guidance. We understand that parenting activates your own attachment history and nervous system. Together, we explore your child’s needs alongside your responses to help you build regulation, consistent boundaries, and connected communication. Our goal is not perfection. It is steadiness. We help you parent from awareness rather than reaction, strengthening the relationship with your child while also caring for your own emotional health.

Shelley Westergard
Counsellor/Therapist, Master of Counselling Psychology, MACP, Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, BA, Addictions Certificate
I am a mother of three and I can attest to the challenges that come and go with each stage for them and for us. When I work with parents I do so in a way to work with them for themself. I believe in order to have a healthy relationship with our kids and our partner, we need to work with ourselves first. I thank parents for wanting to work on their parenting and relationship with their children. This is not an easy quest to ask for, but one of the most important. I work with parents separately or with a parent and child together. I use the same approach as I would for couples, with emotionally-focused therapy. Addressing patterns, cycles, underlying hurts, and needs and aiming to create a safe and respectful space for communication.

Melissa MacNeill
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, CCC, Certified EFIT, EFCT, and EFFT Therapist, MACP
Our children don't come into our lives with an instruction manual, and with so many opinions it can be difficult to know how to best respond to their needs and difficulties. I work to help parents become more accessible, responsive, and engaged with their children. The better we're able to consistently respond to our children, the more safe and secure they'll feel to venture out into, and explore, the wonders of the world around them. I'll help you to better understand the interactions that are taking place between you and your child. I'll work with you as a process consultant to help you experience what it's like to engage in a new way. This process can be transformational for the relationship and the family as a whole.
The relationship between children and their parents doesn't end at adulthood. The transition to adulthood can be confusing, scary, and difficult for parents and children. We never out-grow our need to feel safe, loved, and accepted by our family. I use Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) to assist parents and adult children struggling with these important relationships.

Parenting is one of the most difficult tasks we humans encounter in our lives. If you love and care for your children it is exhausting on a daily basis. But their are ways to develop better relationship boundaries with your children that will still allow you to have a loving and caring relationship with them. Sometimes you just need the right kind of support.

Reg Fleming
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., RMFT, RCC
As a registered family therapist, I see the parent, parents or caregivers as key to successful therapy for families. Parents are the most important figures in a child or adolescent's life. As you may know it is a very difficult task being a parent, and mistakes happen. Getting support and working with a family therapist who is experienced and qualified is critical to addressing issues in the family that are stuck in problematic patterns of reactivity. Emotionally our strongest attachments are with parents as children, and this adds to the intensity or activation. Humans cannot solve problems when they are activated because we are in a threatened state - anxiety. Seeking a helpful family therapist can help.
