Lisa Koole Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, B.A., R.P., GAIN-RHNP
Maybe you are the person everyone relies on, managing a demanding job, a household, and the needs of aging parents, and lately the strategies that used to work have stopped working. You might notice more anxiety at night, an exhaustion that rest does not fix, or a pull toward food when the day finally goes quiet. Many of the adults I see are capable and driven, and they often know what they “should” do but feel stuck doing it.
These patterns are rarely a discipline problem. Burnout, all-or-nothing thinking, and stress eating usually make sense once we understand what your nervous system and emotions have been trying to protect you from.
As a Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO) and Registered Holistic Nutrition Practitioner with 14+ years of clinical experience, I combine CBT, Emotionally Focused Therapy, DBT, and somatic approaches with practical attention to energy and eating patterns when it supports your goals. We work at a pace that respects your capacity, aiming for change you can keep in real life rather than another fresh start.
I see clients online across Ontario and in person on Wednesdays in Guelph. If you are wondering whether we would be a good fit, a free 15-minute phone consultation is an easy place to begin.

Laird Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Exhausted from holding it all together?
From the outside, it looks like you have it all under control. But inside, you are running on empty.
You wake up already dreading the day’s demands, your mind foggy from another night of tossing and turning. The relentless whisper of self-doubt follows you everywhere, telling you that no matter how hard you work, it is never quite enough. You find yourself saying "yes" to everyone else while quietly suffocating your own needs, trapped in a cycle of burnout and being there for others' needs.
By the evening, you are desperately searching for a way to turn off the noise. Maybe it’s a second or third glass of wine to quiet your racing thoughts, or turning to food for comfort after a brutal day—only to be met with intense guilt, a harsh critique of your body, and a promise to "do better tomorrow."
This isn't a lack of willpower. It is the natural result of carrying too much for too long without a safe place to put it down.

I have always been passionate about working in the field of social work/psychotherapy. I aim to provide spaces where individuals can speak openly about life's challenges and be met with nothing but support and zero judgement. It has been rewarding to witness client's move through challenges and live the lives they have always dreamed of.

Cynthia Sewell, Embrace Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CH CHyp
Addiction and Mental Health struggles can be so isolating. Our minds tell us we are the only ones who feel this way, no one else could possibly understand. But the truth is you are not alone. Connection is how we break through the shame. Saying it out loud takes away the power of the illness to keep you sick. Let's talk about how to disrupt the pattern and to support you to living your best life.

Sunlight Counselling, Melody Mann
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I’m a registered social worker and psychotherapist who helps people navigate life’s hardest seasons- burnout, trauma, and grief. My approach is grounded in compassion and curiosity, creating a space where you can exhale, be seen, and begin to heal at your own pace.
I draw from EMDR, parts work, and mindfulness-based approaches to support the body and mind’s natural capacity to heal. Together, we’ll explore not only what hurts, but also what helps-uncovering new ways of relating to yourself, others, and the world around you.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply exhausted by doing it all, therapy can be a place to slow down, reconnect with your strength, and move toward a life that feels more aligned and sustainable.
