Counselling for women in Fort Erie and Ridgeway, Ontario
If you’re a woman in Fort Erie or Ridgeway, showing up for everyone else but feeling disconnected from yourself, you’re not alone. You’ve been holding it together, pushing through, and trying to make it all work. Online counselling gives you the space to finally put yourself first—without guilt or shame.
How it works
01
Book an intro call
You don’t need a diagnosis or a breakdown to ask for support. Our first conversation is a pressure-free space where you can name what’s been heavy and finally be heard.
02
Personalized, one-on-one sessions
Whether you’re snapping at your kids, zoning out at work, or staying up late just to get a moment alone—this space is for you. We’ll work with your real life, not against it.
03
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques
We’ll use science-backed, trauma-informed practices to help you regulate your nervous system, set boundaries that support you, and reconnect with the version of you who deserves ease and care.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Sarah – whenever I have needed her assistance she is always willing to help. Sarah is a dedicated instructor who is very committed to her student's success. In my role as Education Assistant I interact daily with the student population and more than once I have been told by Sarah's students how much they value not only what she has taught them but how much they appreciate the role she has played in developing them as a career professional.

Frequently asked questions
What if I need to cancel or reschedule a session?
I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice to reschedule or cancel your session. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice may incur a fee.
What can I expect during my first session?
For the free consultation, I will invite you to share your concerns, what your goals are and any questions you have for me.
For the initial first session, we will spend time reviewing the intake forms you completed to better understand your needs and goals.
Confidentiality
The counselling relationship is built on trust between counsellor and client, therefore anything that is shared in session will remain confidential. There are some limits to this, which are:
1. If I believe you or another is at risk of imminent harm: where possible I would let you know and discuss it with you, and my supervisor, before taking appropriate action.
2. If a Court Order is received demanding records.
3. For the purposes of professional supervision and education. I can ensure confidentiality in face-to-face communication, but cannot ensure that electronic communication by telephone or internet will be confidential. Please be aware of this if you chose to communicate through e-mail, text, social media, Skype, Zoom or any similar format
