Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
Walking that line between structure and discipline and allowing your children to grow and explore on their own is not easy. Finding that 'balance' - and still finding time for yourself and for your career and partner - needs the support of community not always available to help. I will listen to you while you find your own unique way, occasionally drawing on and sharing my experience as a mother, single parent, foster parent, wife, daughter and career woman. Being a parent is not only the most important job, I think it's also (perhaps) the hardest job (to do well). I believe an important part of parenting is to teach children to be curious, mindful, accepting and respectful of the world and to help them understand their own needs and how to address and fill those needs, themselves, by the time they reach adulthood.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you are navigating parenting, you may feel stretched in ways you never anticipated. You want to respond with patience and wisdom, yet stress, fatigue, and your own history can surface in the hardest moments. You may question whether you are doing enough, doing it right, or unintentionally repeating patterns you hoped to change.
At Selah Counselling, we support parents with compassion and practical guidance. We understand that parenting activates your own attachment history and nervous system. Together, we explore your child’s needs alongside your responses to help you build regulation, consistent boundaries, and connected communication. Our goal is not perfection. It is steadiness. We help you parent from awareness rather than reaction, strengthening the relationship with your child while also caring for your own emotional health.

Shelley Westergard
Counsellor/Therapist, Master of Counselling Psychology, MACP, Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, BA, Addictions Certificate
I am a mother of three and I can attest to the challenges that come and go with each stage for them and for us. When I work with parents I do so in a way to work with them for themself. I believe in order to have a healthy relationship with our kids and our partner, we need to work with ourselves first. I thank parents for wanting to work on their parenting and relationship with their children. This is not an easy quest to ask for, but one of the most important. I work with parents separately or with a parent and child together. I use the same approach as I would for couples, with emotionally-focused therapy. Addressing patterns, cycles, underlying hurts, and needs and aiming to create a safe and respectful space for communication.
