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.

Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
With over 20 years' counselling experience let me help you find the life you wish for. I am the proud mother of 4 sons (now adult) and grandmother to 8 (a mixture of girls and boys)! In addition to counselling I’ve worked in hospital administration, construction, business, advertising/marketing and farming. I also love to learn. Neurodiversity explains how our brains work and affect our behaviour and enables us to use tools to level the playing field so that you get the absolute most from your life. Explore the connection between your reactions and your past and the strong connection between the body, the psyche and the brain (including polyvagal work). (I also ballroom-dance at every opportunity!)

Brandi Rosgen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, B.Ed, MACP, MPCC
I help people alleviate anxiety and depression, as well as create relationship transformations.
Stress is part of life, but struggling relationships, anxiety and depression do not need to be. I help people change their stories and the trajectory of their lives by helping them decrease depression, anxiety, and relationship concerns. Most importantly, I help people learn how to sustain and maintain their happiness and peace. The goal is not less suffering. The goal is to know how to sustain and maintain happiness and peace.
If you're having trouble getting ahead of your thoughts, emotions, or behaviours know that relief is possible, and success can be made inevitable.
If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or in your relationships, know that you deserve more than just relief. You deserve lasting change that you know how to sustain, maintain and grow.
In the relationship counselling, there is a focus on helping individuals and couples create a second version of their relationship. The second version may be working through reconciliation after infidelity, learning how to co-parent, deciding to stay or go, working through separation and on separation agreements, or reconnecting after years of disconnection.
In anxiety or depression counselling, there is a focus on mental and emotional struggle and learning how define and create happiness and peace. There is special attention given to learning to sustain and maintain this peace and happiness in the future.

Lydia Bennett
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, BA Psychology
My passion for psychotherapy comes from my own experiences with relationships. I’ve learned that our greatest joys—and our toughest struggles—often come from the connections we share with parents, partners, children, friends, and colleagues. These relationships shape not only how we see the world but also how we experience ourselves.
