Have you encountered a significant life transition? Life can bring changes and challenges. During life transitions the frequency and intricacy of these life changes tend to escalate. Transitioning from one role to another can present challenges that are not always straightforward. Navigating these pivotal years can be confusing. Many experience a feeling of losing their direction or purpose, and some get lost in a process where there are no clear answers. Although life transitions are natural, many of us struggle during this time. Often people feel stuck wondering, “What now?” As a Registered Therapist and someone who has walked that path myself, I can help you navigate the often concurrent mid-life transitions such as changing relationships, empty nesting, changing careers, caring for aging parents, or divorce.
I offer support to help you explore your needs, values, and priorities to help you curate your next chapter with renewed intention and clarity. Together we will explore what lights you up, what is important now, and ultimately where you want to go from here.
I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor RTC-c #3460 and Certified Life Coach. I am IFS Informed and registered with both the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada and the International Coaching Federation. Please feel free to book a free half-hour consultation with me to discuss your needs and goals. Please check with your provider to ensure you are covered under your plan for: RTC-c, ACCT#3460 under Supervision with K. Pinsonneault RCC#12131.

Nadine Ferguson
Hello, I’m Nadine, I am currently a student counsellor pursuing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, and in the photo with me is my dog, Toby (I love dogs).
I believe true healing happens when we feel seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to help you come into your own shape, one that honours your spirit, purpose, and lived experiences while building on your inherent strengths. I aim to create an environment where you feel supported, empowered, and inspired to explore new possibilities for growth and healing to become your best self.
In my practice, you will be met with a deeply attuned, nonjudgmental presence, fully engaged in your journey. Together, we will explore not just the challenges you face but also the strengths that can propel you toward a more fulfilling life. You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone.
While working as a Registered Nurse in emergency departments and mental health, I have walked alongside people from all stages of life at their most vulnerable, witnessing both the weight of pain, trauma, and loss, as well as the beauty of resilience, joy, and healing. These experiences shape my approach to therapy making it one that is integrative, holistic, and deeply attuned to your unique needs, honouring all aspects of your life and well-being. These experiences have fueled my passion for working with adolescents, families, couples, and individuals.
I take an integrative, holistic, down-to-earth and collaborative approach that aims to honour every aspect of who you are; emotionally, physically, and relationally. Clients have noted that I validate experiences and use humour to bring levity and build connections. Whether you are seeking to improve relationships, deepen your understanding of yourself or improve your life, I am here to support and challenge you in a manner that is both compassionate, trauma-informed and empowering. You won’t just feel heard; you will leave each session with real tools to navigate life’s challenges.
Therapy with me is a mix of deep exploration and practical tools. You’ll leave with both insight and actionable steps to move forward. Our sessions will feel like a conversation, one that is encouraging, real, and free of judgment.
My practice reflects a commitment to flowing with life’s natural rhythms while grounding you in the present moment.
I invite you to connect with me for a 15-minute free consultation to explore how we can work together on your journey of healing and growth, where connection, understanding, and genuine care come together to nurture the best version of you. I offer in-person, virtual and walking counselling.

Hi, I’m Emily. The experience of soul-seeking and wanting change in life is a common human experience. Sometimes this can mean we need support from someone else. We live in a world where connection has become less frequent or has less depth, and we may feel alone in our struggles. In my experience, we may struggle to find out why we are the way we are. I am here to support you in finding your way, whatever that looks like.
I believe in supporting people where they are at and believing in the ability of humans to grow and change through adversity. My goal as a counsellor is to help you find healing through self-discovery and building healthy coping skills. I am here to meet you where you are at and work together to create goals that will address your concerns or make changes that will help you to live the life you want to live.
I have worked with numerous populations, and currently am happy to work with pre-teens, teens, young adults, adults, and older adults who experience a variety of concerns. This includes a background in mental health and addictions, eating disorders, and codependency. I work from a strengths-based lens in order to help relieve stress, shame, guilt, grief, anxiety, depression and burnout.
I offer a refuge for anyone who desires change by using an anti-oppressive and trauma-informed lens. I will walk beside you and support you in finding healing by exploring Schema Therapy, Somatic or body-based nervous system healing, restorative attachment therapy, Family Systems or intergenerational patterns, and Emotion-focused therapy.
