Counselling and Art Therapy Services in Abbotsford
Individual Counselling (Ages 18+)
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, grief, burnout, or feeling disconnected from who you are, we’ll work together to help you slow down, listen inward, and uncover clarity and direction.
Therapy for Children (Ages 6-11)
Children often communicate through play long before words. Using creative and experiential methods, we help them make sense of big feelings, build trust, and feel more at ease in their world.
Counselling for Youth (ages 12-18)
Adolescence brings constant change, pressure, and self-discovery. We offer a supportive space where teens can explore emotions, strengthen coping skills, and grow into a clearer sense of who they are.

Whether you're looking for practical tools, deeper emotional processing, trauma support, or a space to better understand yourself, we’ll work together to find an approach that fits your needs and goals.
-
AEDP Therapy
AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) is a boldly relational, experiential, attachment-based, somatic, healing-oriented model. AEDP focuses on building emotional resilience, healing attachment wounds, and helping clients feel more connected to themselves and others.
-
EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based trauma therapy that helps the brain process distressing memories in a new way. Often used for trauma, anxiety, PTSD, and overwhelming life experiences, EMDR can help reduce the emotional intensity connected to painful memories and support lasting healing.
-
Experiential Therapy
Experiential therapy moves beyond simply talking about problems by helping clients safely explore emotions, patterns, and experiences in the moment. Through deeper emotional processing and body awareness, this approach can help create meaningful insight, healing, and lasting change.
-
Art Therapy
Art therapy uses creative expression as a way to explore emotions, experiences, and inner narratives that can sometimes feel difficult to put into words. No artistic experience is needed — the focus is not on creating “good” art, but on using the creative process as a tool for reflection, self-expression, and healing.
-
Christian Counselling
Christian counselling offers space to explore emotional and mental health challenges while honouring your spiritual beliefs and values. For clients who wish to incorporate faith into the counselling process, therapy can include conversations around spirituality, meaning, identity, and healing within a compassionate and supportive environment.
-
Online & In-Person Therapy
