Individual Counselling Toronto

One-on-one counselling is an often effective way to address a wide range of issues you may be facing. From general feelings of depression to past trauma, identity issues, anxiety, and much more.

Couples Counselling Toronto

Couples Counselling works to facilitate communication between two individuals in order to help them express their needs, wants, feelings, and fears to their partner along with working through individual issues.

However, what couples counselling does not do is assign blame. Often, couples will come to us with one or both partners concerned that a therapist will blame one over the other. This is not the goal of therapy. Instead, we work to ensure both sides are heard and that the full scope of issues is understood. We also work with couples to give them healthy communication habits that encourage openness and honesty.

Family Counselling Toronto

Has your family been affected by drug abuse, mental illness, divorce, trauma, or financial disagreements? If so, counselling may be able to help mend the rifts caused by these issues.

Often, families will go years having major disagreements and building resentment. With therapy, we help dig through those layers of mistrust, anger, and guilt that have plagued your familial relationships and help you find common ground.

Effective Family Counselling Helps Participants:
  • Set healthy boundaries
  • Develop communication skills
  • Understand other family members’ perspectives

Teen Counselling Services Toronto

Teen counselling is among the most important types of therapy work. With teens and adolescents facing an increasing amount of pressure from their personal lives, social media, and the world around them, it is common for therapy to be needed.

Teen counselling also offers a unique opportunity for early intervention. Even teenagers who have shown major behavioral issues or addictive personality traits are more malleable at this stage in their life. We work with teens to discuss their current issues and give them the tools they need to cope as they get older.

Counselling Services Toronto Q&A

During your first Counselling Simply session, we will ask about your medical history much the same way a primary care doctor would.  This will include physical, mental, and overall health. This first session is about getting to know you and is often a very relaxed experience.  Expect to share some basic information about yourself to better plan the next steps of your therapy.

If you have found yourself searching for counselling services, you are likely already in the very large pool of people who can benefit from therapy services. Contrary to popular belief, counselling is not just for individuals with crippling depression or couples on the verge of divorce.

Instead, counselling can help strengthen an already strong relationship and provide support for any individual who is dealing with less severe conditions like “walking depression.” Walking depression is an unofficial term used to describe those who experience depression that still allows them to function and interact normally while still experiencing symptoms on the inside.  It is invisible to the outside world, but can still be affecting you deeply.

Some Common Reasons People Seek Therapy:

  • Feelings of loneliness even when other people are present
  • Feeling as though they are different than others
  • Not feeling heard or understood 
  • Experiencing an endless loop of negative thoughts
  • Questioning oneself or the future 
  • Past traumas continue to affect their life 

Above all else, the most important thing you can do during your therapy is to be honest. Counselling Simply provides judgment-free therapeutic services intended to help you explore your true feelings and beliefs. Opening up to your counselor is the best and only way for them to provide you with the support you need. 

Additionally, it is important that you prioritize your therapy as much as possible. Your counselor may give you a task or topic to consider between sessions and these should be taken seriously. While it is easy for life and work to get in the way, you will find you get back what you put into therapy.  

This varies greatly depending on the individual, couple, or family who is attending. For some issues, it may only require a handful of sessions. This is more often the case for couples or families who are working through specific issues. Individual therapy can continue indefinitely. Many clients may seek help for a single problem but find being able to discuss ongoing feelings is beneficial to improving their overall lives.
