Tina Presta
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
I provide comprehensive counselling support for individuals navigating a wide range of personal, emotional, and situational challenges. My practice specializes in helping clients manage the pressures of perfectionism, high-achievement, and burnout, while offering dedicated space for navigating men’s issues, women’s issues (including perimenopause), and the unique complexities of ADHD or neurodivergence. I offer compassionate guidance for those experiencing mild depression, anxiety, low mood, or profound loneliness, helping you build self-compassion and emotional regulation strategies. Additionally, I support individuals walking through major life disruptions and hardships, including life or career transitions, divorce and relationship strain, grief, and loss of direction. No matter the challenge, my goal is to help you slow down, understand your patterns, and build a more intentional, resilient path forward.

Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
Codependency is a term given to the well meaning - and often essential - 'support' of those people who abuse and rely on the service of loved ones, friends and colleagues to maintain their abusive and addictive behaviour. Often if we are raised with an abusive person in our environment, we learn to excel at supporting those abusers and thus are prone to be attractive to yet more abuse. We can break this chain when we thoroughly explore, process and discuss these behaviours.

Ajay Sahota
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor)
Growing up in a home with an Alcoholic parent can be an unstable experience. You never know what to expect. If you have experienced chaos in your childhood, dealt with unpredictable mental state of your parent, and witnessed and responded to ongoing unsafe situations, then this will be familiar to you. In an unpredictable home, it can be difficult to trust yourself and your experiences. To survive, and avoid, sometimes you need to bottle up your feelings so much that you forget how to experience emotions. When your needs are ignored, seeking approval from others can result in losing your own identity. Feeling responsible for others can outweigh your own needs and wellbeing.
I have been providing counselling services in the community since 2014. I have supported many people who have a loved one struggling with addiction. I am excited to support you as you heal from some or all of the above experiences. Counselling can also help you set healthier boundaries in relationships and start putting your own needs and safety first.

Codependency
Sagewood Counselling & Consultancy
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Co dependency is something many of us have learned or sustained in our closest relationships, and may be understood along a continuum. Many of us feel responsible to carry and / or manage the feelings and choices of others; our sense of self and purpose can be derived from taking care of others. This can lead to us carrying too much of an emotional burden and lead to burnout, frustration and relational distress, especially when others don't want to accept our 'help'. We may have perfectionist tendencies and be fearful of rejection, and have difficulty accepting help when we need it ourselves, and this can cause us to work overly hard and make it difficult to say 'no' and set healthy boundaries. As a result we often feel under appreciated, untrusting, overworked and exhausted. Maybe it's time we worked together to understand where or why we have these tendencies and learn to truly value our most authentic self, ,engage in self care and self love, identify and effectively communicate our needs and to become better at setting healthy boundaries without feeling guilty or selfish or fearing conflict or loss of relationships. Is this something that you struggle with?
