Suicidal Thoughts
Heartsong Counselling
Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
When you’re living with thoughts of not wanting to be here, the weight of everything can feel unbearable and isolating. In our work together, you remain at the center of your healing while I walk beside you, offering calm, steady support when life feels too heavy to hold alone. With a gentle, intuitive approach rooted in transpersonal counselling, relational, and Jungian influences, we explore the pain beneath these thoughts with compassion and care. You don’t have to face this darkness by yourself; I’m here to help you carry what feels overwhelming and to support you in finding moments of grounding, meaning, and hope again.

Suicidal Thoughts
Emanuelito Tomas
Counsellor/Therapist, RN, BSc, BScN, CPMHN(C), CSC
With a deep commitment to supporting individuals at their most vulnerable, I specialize in suicide prevention counselling. As a Registered Nurse with over five years of experience in mental health and crisis intervention—and certification in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing (CPMHN(C))—I offer compassionate, evidence-based care rooted in trauma-informed and empowerment-focused approaches.
In my practice, I create a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. As a member of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, I bring an affirming perspective to this work. Together, we’ll develop strategies to foster resilience, restore hope, and reconnect with a sense of purpose—even in the midst of deep emotional pain.

Suicidal Thoughts
Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
If part of you is thinking about giving up, there’s another part of you that still hopes for something more.
Suicidal thoughts can feel heavy, isolating, and overwhelming—but they are often protective parts trying to escape deep pain. You are not alone in this. In our work together, we create a safe space to gently explore these thoughts without judgment. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help you connect with the parts of you that feel hopeless, as well as the parts that are still holding on. When we approach these inner voices with compassion and curiosity, healing becomes possible. You are not broken. There is help, and there is a path forward—even if it feels far away right now.

A Compassion‑Focused Guide for Working with Suicidal Clients
When a person tells me they are thinking about ending their life, I meet them not with a checklist, but with a space of genuine presence. The first invitation is simple: “You are here, and you matter.” From that moment, safety becomes a collaborative process rather than a unilateral decision. I ask, “What keeps you breathing right now?” and listen for the thin threads—responsibilities, relationships, hopes—that can be strengthened into a lifeline.
My approach is three‑fold:
Validate the Pain, Not the Plan – I acknowledge the depth of hopelessness without endorsing the suicidal script. Naming emotions (“You feel trapped, exhausted, invisible”) reduces shame and opens the door to curiosity about alternatives.
Co‑Create a Safety Net – Together we map a Safety Plan that includes:
Immediate coping tools (grounding, breathing, a sensory object).
Trusted contacts (friends, family, crisis lines) and a “call‑before‑act” rule.
A written list of reasons to live—often small, everyday things that become powerful anchors when revisited.
Foster Hope Through Small Wins – I focus on micro‑goals that are achievable within days: a short walk, a phone call, a journal entry. Each completed step is evidence that change is possible, counter‑acting the all‑consuming belief that “nothing will ever improve.”
Throughout every session I maintain a non‑judgmental stance, reminding the client that suicidal thoughts are a symptom of distress, not a moral failing. I stay alert for escalating risk, but I also celebrate resilience, reinforcing the narrative that the client is more than their crisis.
In the final moments of our work together, I say, “Your story is still being written, and you are the author.” This simple affirmation, coupled with a concrete safety plan, often transforms a moment of despair into a tentative, hopeful breath for the future.

Manupriya Mehra
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC)(ACCT), B.A., M.A. Psychology ( India)
Experiencing suicidal thoughts can be frightening and isolating, and many individuals struggle silently without knowing where to turn. I provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where clients can speak openly about their thoughts and feelings without fear or shame.
My approach focuses on emotional stabilization, strengthening inner safety, and helping clients feel heard and supported. Therapy is paced carefully, with an emphasis on grounding, coping strategies, and restoring hope. When appropriate, I work collaboratively to support safety planning and encourage additional supports as needed.
