Meaningfully Connected Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP or RP (Qualifying)
At Meaningfully Connected Counselling, meaningful connection is at the heart of everything we do. We are a team of compassionate therapists who support individuals feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or as though they are nearing a breaking point. Our goal is to help you better understand your inner world and develop a greater sense of clarity, balance, and agency so you can begin to feel that you have real options again.
We believe healing begins when every part of you is welcomed with compassion — even the parts that feel anxious, guarded, ashamed, angry, uncertain, or hard to understand. Rather than pushing those parts away, we work alongside you to gently explore them with curiosity and care, helping you develop a deeper and more integrated relationship with yourself.
Our approach is grounded in authentic human connection, compassion, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches. We believe lasting healing happens within safe and supportive relationships where you feel seen, heard, and understood. Our therapists draw from a range of modern and effective modalities while remaining deeply attuned to your unique story, pace, and needs.
For clients who desire it, we also thoughtfully integrate faith and spirituality into the therapeutic process. We honour the role that faith, meaning, and connection to something greater can play in healing, growth, and restoration.
Through the meaningful connection you build with your therapist, you can develop a deeper understanding of your thoughts, emotions, body, relationships, and the many parts that make you who you are. This deeper self-connection can help you show up more fully — for yourself, for others, and for the life you want to create.

Wayne Dewhurst
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CAMFT
When life or relationships become difficult, having someone who can help you step back, make sense of what is happening, and find a way forward can make a real difference. Wayne brings a down-to-earth and thoughtful approach to therapy. He believes meaningful change starts with being able to speak honestly about what is going on and feeling genuinely heard along the way. His goal is to help clients gain perspective, have more productive conversations, and develop practical ways to move forward. If something in your life or relationship isn't working the way you want it to, Wayne offers a place to start.

Ashley Bargent Coaching & Counselling
Registered Social Worker, Associate Certified Coach, ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider MSW, RSW, ACC, ADHD-CCSP
Work is draining the joy from your life. Your confidence is dropping and you’re not sure about this career anymore. Every workday, it’s harder to get out of bed. You’ve considered changing jobs but are scared you’re the problem. The idea of change feels overwhelming because you overthink and don’t know where to start. You long for a job where your strengths will shine and you can live up to your potential. But you aren’t sure if you’ll ever find a place where you belong, especially if you’re grappling with ADHD.

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.
