Sagewood Counselling & Consultancy
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
"Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can." Arthur Ashe -
Although we have likely heard 'time heals all' in my personal journey as a trauma survivor and clinician, I have found that sometimes the most profound, transformative healing takes place within the safety of a supportive client-therapist relationship. Having authentic connections can impact our ability to fully engage ourselves in the work needed to create change .... and finding the right therapist can be the first step in accomplishing your counselling goals!
We all need support sometimes... I am honoured when people allow me to offer support & counselling during a season when anxiety or depression, grief or loss (including pregnancy loss), trauma or intra-personal distress becomes overwhelming, or when you simply feel it's the right time to work through some issues.
Authenticity, trust and respect are the values of my practice, and I am available to support you as you pursue the changes you want your life.
Please feel completely welcome to contact me to schedule a complimentary 15 minute telephone or video consultation so we can decide if working together is the right fit for your needs and my areas of expertise!

Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
Whatever happened to you, something covered the authentic you. Let's find it.
You've been managing. Keeping it together. Showing up for everyone who needs you, handling what needs to be handled, and quietly wondering why it still feels like something is missing or wrong.
Maybe you've survived something hard. Maybe you can't quite name what's weighing on you, but you feel it. Maybe life looks fine from the outside, and that almost makes it harder to explain.
I became a therapist because I know what it feels like to need support and not receive it. I also know what it feels like to finally find it, and how much that changes everything. My own experience with trauma, addiction, and recovery shapes how I show up: with genuine warmth, without judgment, and with a deep belief that people can move forward no matter how stuck they feel right now.
I work with an integrative, person-centered approach and view anxiety, depression, and addiction by looking at underlying trauma. I want to find the root with you and heal the problem, not just manage symptoms.
Of course, how struggles show up is different for everyone, I don't believe there can be one-size-fits-all solutions. I listen to your story, understand you through how you survived, and work with you on the patterns that keep showing up. I want to truly listen and help you ask, and answer, "What do you really want now?"
If you've been waiting for a sign to reach out, this is it. I'd love to hear from you.

Sanofer Ansari
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MACP
Therapy, to me, is a space where you don’t have to have everything figured out or carry everything on your own. It is a place to pause, feel heard, understand what you’re experiencing, and gently make sense of what may have been difficult to express or process. My approach is trauma-informed and emotion-focused, recognizing that our emotions, relationships, past experiences, and cultural backgrounds all shape how we navigate life. I aim to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can feel understood, reconnect with yourself, and move toward greater self-awareness, emotional well-being, and meaningful change.
