Who We Are

---

I'm so glad you're here! Counselling Up is a place to explore your mental health in a welcoming and non-judgmental space. I have been working in the mental health field, providing coaching, counselling, and workshops for close to 10 years. During this time that I have found that there is still a lot of stigma associated with accessing mental health services. Counselling Up is all about changing that! 

The idea behind this practice is to approach mental health the same way we approach wellbeing in other areas of our lives. We go to the doctor for our check ups, stay active for our physical health, go to the hairdresser to feel good about how we look - let's add seeing a therapist to that list to feel our best, emotionally and mentally.
