Shane Smyth
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, OACCPP
I specialise in couples therapy. I love helping couples improve their relationship by increasing their ability to communicate openly and lovingly. I am trained in Gottman Couples Therapy to Level 3 and am a Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist. I have also completed several sex therapy intensive trainings. I have over 15 years helping couples. Sexuality and desire discrepancies are something that I enjoy working it as this often becomes a shut down topic for couples. I try to make therapy as accessible and easy going as possible. I believe that everyone has the right to have a rich and meaningful life and through therapy I hope to provide clients with the space and skills to access their own inner resources as well as build meaningful relationships.

Samantha Dupre
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) (Intern Therapist)
My name, Samantha, means “the listener,” my goal is to listen to your story with care and sensitivity and reflect on it with you to discover the wisdom you already carry within. I believe safe and caring relationships (with people, nature and yourself) are essential to personal growth and resilience. My approach to therapy is practical and tailored to what you need to grow and strengthen these relationships. I know that it takes a lot of courage to admit that you are struggling and reach out for support, but I also know its empowering. If you’re ready to try, please reach out.

Colin Hayward
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd
My goal in therapy is to create a space where you can say the things you haven’t felt able to say anywhere else. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who carry a lot on their own. They may talk things through with friends or family at times, but often hesitate to go too far because they don’t want to burden the people around them. In therapy, you have a place where you can speak freely and be fully heard.
Clients often tell me they’re surprised by how much they have to say once they begin. They may have spent years thinking through challenges in their lives, but haven’t had the opportunity to explore those thoughts out loud in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. My role isn’t to criticize the past, rush to conclusions, or tell you what decisions you should make. Instead, I focus on helping you understand your experiences, clarify what matters most to you, and find practical ways forward that feel authentic and sustainable.
I see therapy as a collaborative process that helps you better understand both your strengths and the challenges that come with them. Many qualities that serve us well in life—like sensitivity, dedication, or a strong work ethic—can also create difficulties when they become overwhelming or unbalanced. Together, we explore how these qualities shape your experiences, identify the patterns that may be holding you back, and build on the strengths that can help you move forward.
Sometimes this work involves learning specific tools or skills. Other times it involves taking the time to reflect, share important stories, and gain new perspective. Either way, my aim is to help you uncover resources within yourself that may have been overlooked and to support you in navigating difficult moments with greater clarity and confidence.
I tailor my approach to each person I work with because every individual’s experiences and goals are different. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, OCD, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can be a place to slow down, reflect, and make meaningful progress.

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.
