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!

Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
With over 20 years' counselling experience let me help you find the life you wish for. I am the proud mother of 4 sons (now adult) and grandmother to 8 (a mixture of girls and boys)! In addition to counselling I’ve worked in hospital administration, construction, business, advertising/marketing and farming. I also love to learn. Neurodiversity explains how our brains work and affect our behaviour and enables us to use tools to level the playing field so that you get the absolute most from your life. Explore the connection between your reactions and your past and the strong connection between the body, the psyche and the brain (including polyvagal work). (I also ballroom-dance at every opportunity!)

Manisha Grewal
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (Hons), MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Do you tend to replay past events in your mind over and over, and spiral into worries about the future? Do you struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, or relationships, causing you to "overgive" to others while abandoning your own needs? Many people describe feeling like they’re moving through life on autopilot — weighed down by overthinking, low mood, or the pressure to keep everyone else happy. You might notice people-pleasing tendencies, difficulty maintaining boundaries, or a pattern of overgiving that leaves you drained, ungrounded, and disconnected from yourself. Here, you’ll find a warm, calm space where your feelings are validated and your voice genuinely matters. Together, we’ll engage in meaningful, deep processing work, explore what's fuelling your distress, and gently uncover the deeper experiences and patterns shaping your emotional world. Alongside this, we’ll build practical tools to regulate your nervous system and ease your symptoms in the present, helping you reconnect with a more empowered, resilient, and self-aware version of yourself. I bring the richness of three cultures, four languages, and the lived experience of being both a first- and third-generation immigrant. My background in the medical field also allows me to integrate physiological and psychological insight. These parts of who I am allow me to deeply empathize with the immigrant journey across generations, as well as the ways culture, family expectations, and identity can shape mental health. No matter your background or story, I aim to meet you with genuine understanding, respect, and compassion. I am a proud ally to LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC communities and offer inclusive, compassionate care for all backgrounds and lived experiences. If what I’ve shared resonates, we may be a good fit. If you're curious about working together, let's start with a free, no-pressure 30-min video consultation, where we can connect and chat in a calm, relaxed space.

Kristen Bailey Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Masters of Arts Counselling Psychology
I truly love helping people have a better relationship with themselves (and those around them as a side effect) and be able to make more conscious choices in their life and believe in what I have learned both personally and professionally to help people get there. Over my time as a therapist (and in going through my own journey) I have seen how that what brings people toward truly feeling better is learning to be more self compassionate, building acceptance of their own story and how it has affected their life and developing a more neutral relationship with the thoughts and feelings that they experience.
