Individual therapy in Calgary — an expert in your corner.

When the things you've been carrying start to feel heavier than they should, individual counselling in Calgary can help you set them down — and pick yourself back up.

Are you having a difficult time handling the struggles in your life? Could you see yourself opening up to a non-judgmental person who is there to truly listen and support you? Individual counselling differs from group or alternative methods in that you are the sole focus of the therapist — who helps you develop and reach your own goals for therapy.

If you've been feeling hopeless or lost lately, or struggling with a problem in your life that feels insurmountable, individual therapy can help you improve your everyday life. It puts a compassionate, trained professional in your corner — someone to help you understand what's happening underneath, build the skills you need, and gently reshape what's no longer serving you.

Our Calgary therapists also specialize in anxiety counselling, depression therapy and trauma-informed care — in-person at Southport SW or virtual virtually across Alberta, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Not sure where to start? Try our therapy matching quiz or book a free 15-minute consultation.

How individual therapy can help

Small shifts that add up to real change.

  • Understand the patterns underneath how you’re feeling

  • Set and move toward goals that matter to you
  • Make sense of a transition, decision or loss
  • Feel more like yourself again
Our approach

How we work with this in session.

1

A collaborative plan built around your goals, not a template

2

Evidence-based approaches (CBT, ACT, EMDR and more) matched to you

3

A pace that respects where you are today

4

Space to explore identity, culture and lived experience

What to expect

Your first steps, gently.

  1. 1

    We usually start with a free 15-minute consultation so you can ask questions and get a feel for whether we’re a good match. Your first full session is a chance to talk through what brought you in and what you’d like to be different.

  2. 2

    From there, you and your therapist shape the work together. Some people come with a specific goal in mind; others aren’t sure where to start and simply need space to think out loud. Both are completely okay.

  3. 3

    Sessions are typically 50 minutes, weekly or every other week to begin, and we check in regularly on what’s helping. You’re always in control of the direction and the pace.

If individual therapy sounds like a fit, book a free 15-minute consultation — no pressure, just a conversation.

Good to know

Questions people often ask.

How do I know if I need therapy?
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many people come simply because something feels stuck, heavy or unclear. If a part of your life isn’t working the way you’d like, that’s reason enough.
How long will I be in therapy?
It’s different for everyone. Some people find a few focused sessions are enough; others value ongoing support. We’ll talk about your goals early on and revisit them as you go, so therapy lasts as long as it’s useful to you.
Will what I share stay confidential?
Yes. What you share in session is confidential, within the legal and ethical limits your therapist will explain in your first session (for example, situations involving risk of harm).
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes — you can see us in person at our Southport SW office in Calgary or virtually across Alberta, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
