Vanessa Fingland
Counsellor/Therapist, CCPCPR.cand, RPC-C
Do you feel emotionally exhausted from always putting everyone else first? Perhaps you've been in a relationship with a narcissistic partner, struggle to set healthy boundaries, or feel trapped in cycles of perfectionism and people pleasing. You may look like you're coping on the outside while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or never quite "good enough" on the inside.
You don't have to continue carrying everything alone.
I specialize in helping adults recover from narcissistic abuse, emotional abuse, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and low self-worth. Together we'll work to understand the patterns that have kept you stuck, heal the wounds beneath them, and build healthier relationships with others and with yourself.
Many of my clients are caring, capable, high-functioning people who have spent years taking care of everyone else. They struggle with guilt when saying no, overthink conversations, question themselves after being gaslighted, or feel emotionally drained from unhealthy relationships. Therapy can help you reconnect with your confidence, trust your instincts, and create lasting change.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and practical. I integrate evidence-based therapies while tailoring each session to your unique experiences and goals. My focus is creating a safe, supportive space where you feel understood, not judged.
I can help with:
Narcissistic abuse recovery
Emotional abuse and toxic relationships
Gaslighting and relationship trauma
Burnout and chronic stress
People-pleasing
Perfectionism
Self-esteem and confidence
Boundaries
Anxiety
Women's issues
Life transitions
Relationship concerns
I provide secure virtual counselling for adults throughout Alberta, making therapy accessible wherever you live.
For those looking to make significant progress in a shorter period, I also offer extended Therapy Intensives. These longer sessions allow us to work deeply on long standing patterns and accelerate healing in a focused, supportive environment.
Reaching out for therapy takes courage. Whether you're beginning your healing journey or have tried therapy before, I'd be honoured to support you. Together, we can help you move beyond survival and create a life that feels calmer, more confident, and more authentic.

Darren Williamson
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC (#23397)
My goal in counselling is to help you to find what's missing in your life. Perhaps it is issues with identity, or ongoing conflicts in relationships, or a feeling of "stuckness." Mutual respect and trust are vital components to our work together. I offer a unique setting where we can work through the topics you bring in a non-judgmental way.

Meredith Dow
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CPC
If you're feeling overwhelmed, confused by your closest relationships, or affected by difficult experiences from your past, you don't have to keep pushing through all on your own.
Perhaps you don't recognise the person you've become. Or maybe the ways you've coped before just aren't working any more.
That's why I'm here; I'd be honoured to come alongside you and create the space to process the challenges you're facing, together.

Vanessa Timmons
Life Coach, ACC, CPCC, MMT
As you move through life's many phases, it can be hard to hear your own voice clearly amid everyone else’s expectations. I coach people navigating transitions. Those shifts in career, relationships, identity, and purpose. Together, we make space to take stock, reconnect with your wisdom, and discover what feels true for your next chapter. My approach brings together deep listening, compassionate inquiry, mindfulness, and reflective writing. I offer a free consultation to explore what you’re looking for and whether coaching is a good fit.

Kristen Bailey Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Masters of Arts Counselling Psychology
Wrestling with difficult thought patterns, trying to control unpleasant feelings, and being trapped in repetitive relationship challenges and dealing with self-doubt is bloody hard and takes a toll. I believe people want to change and have better relationships, but often do not know where to start, making it feel daunting and impossible—I know, I have been there (a few times). I am passionate about helping people build a more peaceful relationship within themselves and others. I am here to help you get to the root of what is going on and support you in taking actionable steps toward what matters most to you.
In our work together I will combine traditional talk therapy with practical, evidence-based tools. While we will spend time processing and understanding your past, our focus will always remain on addressing what is happening right now that is keeping you stuck. My ultimate goal is for you to become your own therapist, fully connected to your inner wisdom.
We all carry pain stemming from difficult experiences or parts of ourselves that bring up immense shame. My priority is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore these parts, learn to offer them deep compassion and acceptance, and finally move forward.
