Women's Issues
Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
My stand on 'women's issues' has not really changed over the years. Originally these views were thought to be feminist. Very feminist. Now those exact same views are seen as more traditionalist! I have always believed in justice, respect and equality, for all human beings. For me, I am a human being first. Woman, second. Perhaps you are a human being first and a man second? I celebrate both! In my opinion each person is equal to every other and if we explore, understand and fill our needs - the same needs whatever our sex, colour or any other demographic - we will be happy. If we do not…. Fullstop. This belief is NVC or Non Violent (or Compassionate) Communication, organized by Dr Marshall Rosenberg in action. As women, our experience of the world is uniquely female. As men it is male. Man and woman stand at the two ends of this spectrum and in between are a thousand iterations of humanity waiting to be explored! I am wide open to hearing your story.

Tina Presta
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
Women are often conditioned to carry the weight of the world—balancing career demands, caregiving responsibilities, and systemic patriarchal pressures—while being expected to do it flawlessly and without complaint. This societal expectation to over-function and put everyone else first leaves you feeling deeply exhausted, unseen, and trapped in high-achievement burnout. When you layer these heavy cultural pressures with complex biological shifts—such as Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), perimenopause, or menopause—it can trigger profound anxiety, low mood, loss of direction, and an overwhelming sense of loneliness.I provide a dedicated, affirming space specializing in women’s issues, helping you safely unpack both the internal and external expectations keeping you stuck. We utilize Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to explore how your thoughts and behaviors interact, untangle old perfectionist or people-pleasing patterns, and build practical everyday emotional regulation strategies that honor your life stage.Because systemic stress, caregiving exhaustion, and hormonal disruptions live deeply in the physical body, we go beyond traditional talk therapy. We integrate tailored breathing techniques, somatic tools, and visual exercises alongside neuro-experiential tools like Brainspotting. Looking beneath the surface allows us to safely target, process, and release the hidden physical weight of stored anger, grief, and survival patterns right where they are held in your nervous system. Whether you are navigating a major life or career transition, relationship strain, or biological changes, my goal is to help you slow down. Together, we will build a self-compassionate, resilient, and intentional path forward where you can finally reclaim your boundaries and step into an aligned way of living.

Melissa Kaylee De Pace
Counsellor/Therapist, CCC, Registered Psychotherapist (Q), CNP, M.A
Women’s mental health is deeply connected to the many physical, emotional, relational, and lifestyle factors that shape our well being. With a background in both psychotherapy and holistic nutrition, I bring an integrative perspective to concerns such as body image, stress, burnout, changing relationships with food, life transitions, and the emotional impact of changes in physical health.
Rather than viewing mental health in isolation, we consider how your emotional experiences, nervous system, relationships, daily habits, nutrition, and overall well being may be interacting. Therapy combines psychological insight with practical strategies to help you better understand your needs, strengthen your relationship with yourself, and create changes that support your mental and emotional well being in everyday life.
